Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I brought ltc into the library bookstore I worked in and told her she could fill a shopping bag with whatever she wanted. Everything there is either $1 or 50 cents. She managed to fit $22 worth of books into her bag.

Living the dream!

Ahhh of course the airline I’m flying next week is on strike. Grrrrrr. I really hope they work it out and my flights are not canceled or delayed!!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh no, fingers crossed! I hope this trip is amazing -- it seems like a lot of stress to get there!!

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

I'm so sorry, msbelle. It's so hard to navigate what is practical and doable and right while carrying around these huge emotions, on top of the difficulty of just having the (valid, by the way) huge emotions to deal with!

Good luck, meara!

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

Resurfacing after a miserable couple of days. I had a normal breakfast for the first time since Saturday, and though right now I feel bloated and like lunch is an impossibility, who knows how I'll be when we actually get there?

A pair of cousins (I think second?) are coming to visit around 11, and in the meantime I have a Tiffany Aching book to read, so I'll just sit and do that and hope the bloat fades away.

I have a headache again and it’s too hot out but I’m taking ltc back to the library today because they’re having a craft hour making sand art.

I just got a friend request from someone in Nigeria who is using my congressman's profile picture. I feel like they are not putting a lot of effort into tricking me.

Ugh, I'm sorry you're going through this, JZ.

I hope you're feeling much better now, JZ.

I am so sorry, msbelle. Love and comfort to your, your friend, and all who love her.

Good luck, meara. Sending response the strike vibes your airlines way.

I just finished swimming and am waiting for DH to emerge from the locker room oh, there he is.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I'm just surfacing from a migraine day in bed and now there's a tornado watch. It would be really helpful if they could narrow down the area as it approaches.
