This is a time of celebration, so sit still and be quiet.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Okay, was anyone going to tell me that there was an Electric Company series from 2009 with Lin-Manuel Miranda and Chidi from The Good Place, or was I just supposed to find that out from an internet argument about consonants?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I put Ben-Gay on the part of my neck that was hurting before I went to bed, and it seems to be a bit better. Stupid stress...

Glad it’s improving.

I got a neck vertebrae to go back where it belonged but it’d been wrong so long that the correct alignment brought a heck of a headache with it and I just stretched and it moved back to the wrong spot. So that 36 hour experiment happened. Why are so many people calling with extended warranty offers on our cars when we need them on our bodies?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Prubsie is out the door, chauffeured by Hec, and I'm trying to herd Matilda off to the bus. Marceline, that pill, is hiding under the hammock and doesn't care about anything.

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

I want to join in fuck it all Friday! We’ll see if I can conquer my guilt enough. I have no meetings scheduled and may have connectivity issues, so wfh may yet turn into mowing the lawn…

I spent all day yesterday at a women's leadership symposium, in which lots of people talked about how to be change-agents and how to support change in your organization, and hardly anyone mentioned that as a military organization, a LOT of our change comes imposed from above, and that's a lot different to handle.

It was a nice event and I had some good networking moments, but... sigh. It seems like all our systems are being changed right now and it's just a lot, especially for the older civilian employees who are not being properly supported with training and guidance.

Anyway today is my day off and I can't go running because the dog was limping earlier this week, but we're going to go for a hike in the woods soon. And maybe later I will climb.

And maybe buy a new vacuum. The one I have is relatively new, but it's clunky and heavy and I hate using it. I want a lightweight one that I can use easily and often.

I'm cleaning for the maid service this afternoon. Well, tidying. They keep me honest!

We have a house guest this weekend. Pretty sure I've forgotten how that works. Well we'll keep her feed and watered for sure. Just like the cats, and they're doing fine.
