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

Oh, sj, I'm sorry. That does not sound very de-stressing

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

Timelies all!

I am really tired(npi) of waking up before the alarm. Today it was somewhere around 5:15. The alarm is set for 6:30. I can't remember the last time I slept through to the alarm.

Our wings are not tired.

I think I wake earlier with an alarm because I wait for it. Haven’t used one in many years. Still wake up at 5 something.

I’m sorry, sj. I hope some alone time to decompress comes soon.

ltc is in bed. TCG is doing a virtual meeting, and I’m eating cheese puffs. I was going to make myself a drink but that feels like work.

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

I was going to make myself a drink but that feels like work.

Worth the effort!

Not tonight. I couldn’t move off the couch once I got ltc to bed.

Oh no, sj, that sounds stressful indeed!

I got almost no work done again today. I really do need to motivate one of these days but tomorrow is Friday so I doubt it’ll be tomorrow. I did manage to wash some dishes but my house is still a mess I’ve had laundry in the dryer for days, and I’m usually pretty good about taking it out and folding it even if not making it to the “putting it away” step.

Thrive to spite them

The health shit keeps coming. One of my dad's cousins, Tommy,, had a stroke a few days ago and has been moved to hospice. A few months ago he was diagnosed with Parkinsons. This cousin was like another brother when Dad was growing up, most of the stories Dad tells about his exploits as a kid begin with "me, and Lee and Tommy..." . Dad was driving him and Lee over to the hospice to say goodbye.

And this morning M's mom got a call...one of her brothers had a stroke either last night or early this morning and is in the ER and that is all they know.

I'm sorry for all the stress and frustrations and sickness everyone is having.
