Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I've been at work for 45 minutes, and I'm already asking myself, "Is it Thursday yet?"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I started off my vacation with a massage, which was a great call. Next I'm going to take a picnic lunch to a local park.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Woo, Shir! Congratulations!

Grr, Theo. That is both shocking and somehow not. Which only makes it more aggravating, really.

Woke up with a sore throat that does not seem to be going away. Whine.

That is great news on both fronts Shir, congrats!

Temperatures here in AR are in the 90s and muggy, but that's nothing out of the ordinary for the beginning of July, and the frequent rainfall seems to have deprived the mosquitoes of their usual stagnant pond breeding grounds.

I spent much of the weekend deep diving for evidence of Richard Madden and Brandon Flynn being a new-ish celebrity couple, with the result that I ended up dreaming about dating Madden myself last night. Now that's how a new hobby should reward interest; stamp collecting and gardening take note!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

We have found a caregiver service to watch Mr. S for the next couple weeks. They're supposed to be good at dealing with special needs kids. So far, so good.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

That is good news, Sheryl! Fingers crossed!

Timelies, all! As I was reading, I remember seeing stuff I meant to respond to, but then work made me, like, do work and stuff. So hugs, ~ma, and congrats as needed!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Good news, Sheryl. I hope it works out.

Why are all of the recruiters deciding that this week is the best time to kick into gear? There's a holiday, I'm sure no one will be working on Friday, I leave for a trip Wednesday...

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Oh, that's good, Sheryl!!! That'll give you time to get into gear for a permanent solution. Keep us posted?

Honestly, I bet it's because there's not a lot going on at work, so why not try to get a jump on next week?

I still have notifications on for my work email, and it's mad quiet.
