I hope your day is going better, Sheryl.
Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Oof. Heading home after a long day on my feet, ankle throbbing, and I get a text from my landlord that the boiler malfunctioned causing all the radiators to overflow. I may have floors in four rooms to clean up when I get home.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I have to actually call the dang IRS tomorrow. The check I wrote for my quarterly estimated taxes hasn't cleared, and I sent it 3 weeks ago. Now, the IRS might be swamped, but my estimated payments have always cleared pretty quickly. I googled for what to do, and it said if it's been 2 weeks or longer, call the IRS to see if it's cleared. I might have to stop payment on the check and re-send the payment, dang it.

Laura, our local politics are a shitshow. We're like a month in since the reveal of this particular shitshow (looks like...self dealing? Corruption? Money laundering?) but she's been a disaster from the get-go.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Um, these do not sound like the best days, people!
My day was fully redeemed with trombone practice.

Because books.
I'm sorry for all the bad days. It helps any, I said to a woman caller tonight (who until then had just seemed irritated and sort of abrupt) that I was sorry to hear her husband had passed, and she said, "You don't give a shit, you bitch! Now have that asshole Robert (the funeral director) call me because I am PISSED OFF."
So ... that happened.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Yikes! Sorry that happened, Amy.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
My day was fully redeemed with trombone practice.
{fist pump}
"You don't give a shit, you bitch!"
I second that "Yikes!" On the one hand, people go squirrelly in grief. OTOH, I know that you do give a shit, and that was mean.

Punishingly Intricate
Baltimore peeps, what is up with your mayor? I haven't really seen much about her having issues until this morning.
It is a long and ridiculous story. John Oliver did a bit on it a couple of weeks ago and it's just gotten more absurd since then. [link]
