When we landed here you said you needed a few days to get space worthy again and is there somethin' wrong with your bunk?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Bah! I thought I was getting over this miserable summer cold but I woke up with pink eye.

What the hell, body? Ill health feels like a betrayal.

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

Ugh, pink eye. Bummer.

This day is creeping by in its petty pace from hour to hour.

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

I've had three colds (along with a bout of food poisoning) this spring and summer. I'm sick of being sick.

That's a lot. Boo.

I am getting hot and sour soup delivered. That should fix me right up.

I'm hoping I'm on the upswing of a very mild cold, rather than one that is just taking it's sweet time settling in. My throat doesn't hurt anymore, but the coughing may be about to begin, I fear.

I went to bed early, and slept surprisingly well! I woke up shortly after falling asleep because of fireworks, but then I'm sure I slept through others! That was a surprise, when I woke up this morning!

Sweet, we can go early. Me and my soup are going straight to bed.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I have like 20 minutes by myself in a hotel room with Wimbledon on the telly. Bliss.

'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"

It felt like rides were few and far between, but I managed to make my self-appointed goal in a reasonable amount of time (

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I woke early dreaming about DH and me being held hostage in a motel room--she and I in smocks and flowered capri pj pants--by Nicole Kidman. The door to the room was in the corner behind the ice machine where it was easy to overlook. I don't know what we had done to her, but she had taken our phones, disabled the water and the electricity, sealed the windows and was about to exit and apply superglue to the lock, leaving us with no electricity, no means of outside communication, no water, and no food except for one slice of cheese on a plate. She was holding us at gunpoint. I decided I didn't want to die of starvation or boredom and knocked her down. She shot me but I fell on top of her and kicked the gun to DH. He grabbed her phone and called help.

I'd been up and down during the night--the bombardment had stopped about 1AM so I don't know what kept waking me up. But I was kind of glad I was alert enough to disarm Nicole Kidman.

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

Timelies all!

Quiet weekend here. Well...as quiet as things can be with Mr. S around.
