Compassionately intolerant

I feel that, properly employed, the Uproot could still be the right tool for this job.
Matt, you have inspired visuals in my mind that I cannot thank you for, but you aren't wrong.

I've become sort of addicted to the Uproot, I spent an hour doing three rooms tonight. And, I discovered an extra added bonus...my Fitbit registers the vigorous activity as actual exercise!

I take an unwholesome delight in the fact that I only wear one kind of short, black socks most of the time and thanks to the Uproot, for the first time, I don't have to take extra measures to de-fur them before washing. It really is the little things that make life so delightful.

I haven't been following the GOP conflagration closely but one of my clients said that it's been fun watching the Rs eat their young. I'm no stranger to schadenfreude, but I just hope the chaos is short-lived and that some sort of reason prevails.

Our wings are not tired.

Also, I managed to insert FOUR USB cables correctly on the the first try yesterday

Most impressive.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I got up at 6:30 to make it downtown in time for jury duty. Grabbed breakfast, found the correct parking garage, walked over the skybridge to the court building, found the lobby. There was a security guard there greeting people. We had to tear off part of the card to prove we'd shown up, and then we were done. So that was a waste of $3 parking, and an hour 45 commuting.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I feel so much better today after spending most of yesterday reading the paper and drinking tea. December really was a stressful month. I’m working at the library bookstore this afternoon. So, hopefully I can interact with some other humans and maybe even have an interesting book conversation or two.

Ugh, Dana. That’s so annoying. I hope you can enjoy the rest of your day.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Also, I managed to insert FOUR USB cables correctly on the the first try yesterday, so I'm regretful that my cousin didn't schedule her Las Vegas wedding for January instead of October.

You may have used up all your luck and need to wait until October for it to fully recharge. Because correctly inserting 4 USB cables on the first try is some kind of spooky magic.

The system here you have to call in to see if you need to show up and a good percentage of times you get told not to come, and call back the next day.

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

Off to the library bookstore. Wish me customers.
