Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

~ma to all for the myriad shift.

I heard about Giroy this morning with a sad side of knowing some people won't even notice it happened.

And the train wreck in DC travels on. *sigh*

I have a very Buffista problem. I want to get someone a personalized gift, and I found the perfect one in the perfect color, but I don't like the font that they use for the personalization, and that's the only one they have. So, better font, but wrong color, or right color and okay font.

It should probably be noted that the recipient won't be as picky about the font. I mean, it's not like it's Comic Sans or anything.

That is a very Buffista problem and I hear you because I would have that pain too

Our wings are not tired.

Sometimes we have to put others needs above our own, but dude, bad fonts could be the exception.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Woke up at 6:45. Why? No good reason. You win this round, body.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I don't sleep that well with my noisy air-conditioner on, but I think it would be worse with it off! Bleh.

I woke up at 3:50am (ten minutes before my alarm) for this 6:15am flight (which is now 20 minutes late for takeoff due to an issue with one of the bathrooms apparently). I guess this will help me be on east coast time but dang.

Dang is right!

I woke up just before 5 a.m., which is my normal time. I set an alarm, but it only goes off maybe 3-4 times a year. My DH assumes something is wrong -- I'm sick, maybe -- when I actually wake to an alarm. I am no more likely to need an alarm to get up super early for a flight than I am at my regular time. I just hate alarms.

I only use an alarm if I have an early flight or obligation. Then I wake before it goes off anyway. Waking to an alarm just sounds awful to me, and I wake early anyway.

I'm theoretically trying this intermittent fasting thing where you don't eat for 14-16 hours a day and cram all the eating into 8 hours. This conflicts with my desire to eat when I first wake up and snack in the evening. Not sure this is going to work out for me.

Also, in case you haven't noticed, the world has gone mad.
