I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Glad to hear from Gud secondhand
Fluffmuffin is a great dog name!
Second Tuesday in January is, like, major doldrums, right? Didn't some study conclude that? ALl this other weirdness and strife is probably relievin that a little, actually, but it's still there underneath. Or I just have a lot of ennui.

We once had a cat I'd refer to as Fuzz-face the Wonder Cat (often for "I wonder what that cat's doing").

I think, like other people have said, the problem is that we're not at the 20th yet. Or more generally, that all of 2020's shit is still draggggging on.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I think that's right, scientifically. Or maybe it's the Monday? But I just shared the Onion's It Only Tuesday with some friends and realized I've been sharing that for more than 13 years.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
It wasn't the most scientific of studies, but yes, Tuesdays are objectively the worst.
