Illyria: Wesley's dead. I'm feeling grief for him. I can't seem to control it. I wish to do more violence. Spike: Well, wishes just happen to be horses today.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Holy shit, Steph, that sounds harrowing.

Smooth travels, lisah! Scottland, ho!

That's a bummer, Matt. Continued finding a great place ~ma.

Steph - holy wow, what a crap set of circumstances (understatement). Fucking hell, what a horrible thing to say and believe. I mean, I know that's only part of it. Fucking hell.

askye, continued ~ma for Covid, appts., and lawyering.

Thanks, all. MurderPants (nice one, Hec!) won this round, buy now I'm prepared!

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

Oh no, JenP! Curse the cute outfit of doom! Glad it wasn’t worse.

That’s awful, Tep. I’m so sorry. Whatever you can do to get some distance I am for.

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

but in theory it sounds like a way to force adult children to care for their abusers. So that's fun.

Oof.

We're waiting for the highly chaotic and irregular window guys to show up.

They either show up unannounced and start working in the garage before we get up, or they disappear for a month. But you cannot predict when they are going to come. Even when they say they're going to come, they're going to trick you.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

That's quirky and possibly even charming in an Almodóvar movie, but not so much in real life.

CVS is also being screwy with my prescriptions (one of which is Ativan, which I quite obviously need right now), and I only have so many brain cells I can devote to Stuff Going Wrong. Maybe if I tell CVS I don't have the bandwidth to deal with their shit, they'll just fix it. (HahahahahahaNOPE.)

Ugh, filial responsibility laws are shitty. Sorry Teppy.

We were meant to be in Scotland today but our flight to our layover in Toronto was canceled yesterday. Wish us good travel luck today!

Yikes, what a pain! Good luck!!

Jen be careful! Sorry your cute outfit fought back!

I’m reaching the end of my rope at work and told my boss. I’m taking Friday off but don’t really have anyone to cover for me so it’s just moving the work to Monday and I am SO DONE.

Yes, you don't actually want to live in a knockabout farce.
