It's really horrific.
I walk. I talk. I shop, I sneeze. I'm gonna be a fireman when the floods roll back. There's trees in the desert since you moved out. And I don't sleep on a bed of bones.

Our wings are not tired.
Yes, I just got home and that was at the top of my emails. It is just all too much.
Good luck Laura—don’t you go up to New York soon usually?
Yes, I'll be there beginning of June through October, but Brendon has summer basketball league stuff most of the summer. He will be up from time to time and I'll pop down but mostly I am north. I hope he can actually sit down and do something about finding a solution like tonight. I know there are options, but this up in the air stuff sucks. Trying to be patient waiting for the right boat. They summer is the time here when people sell them.

Thrive to spite them
I'm Skyping with E. And he doesn't know about this. I'm reading about the killing of elementary school children and I can't .. react . I'm pushing it aside now because I want to protect him from hearing about this as long as possible.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Wow, Harris Teeter just robo called me about the JIF peanut butter recall (I already threw it out); that's the first time I've ever gotten a call about a recall. Modern tracking for the win, I guess.
Meijer emailed me, though the JIF has been long since eaten at Stately Beckmeyer Manor. I'm half creeped out by the fact that they know I bought JIF (yes, I know it was my choice to sign up for the MPerks thing) and half appreciative that they gave me a warning.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Is it wrong that I am seeing y'all posting about the Jif recall and thinking "but how do you pronounce it" and chucking to myself?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
It’s cooled off a bit since the weekend. I’d like it a little warmer than this, though…

Hec, make sure she’s having her iron levels checked regularly.
I can’t think too much about the school shooting or I’ll never send ltc to school again.

I'm sitting here reading the NYT live reporting page and I can't stop crying. It's just so horrific.

We've got a date with the phlebotomist to check for just that before the doctor puts her on the Pill.

I just have no faith in this country anymore. No will to change. Nothing will be done about this. Sandy Hook didn't change anything. This won't change anything.
