I feel like working some glitter in somehow might help, but it’s probably not necessary
No, it's shiny! I like to meet new people. They've all got stories...

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

I want to start using “glittering the smoke bomb” to mean “gilding the lily”

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
That sounds like a situation where you would really want to know what genre you are in
Right? Whole different vibe in the Bourne Universe. Or the Wes Anderson for that matter.

My mind immediately leapt to horror. So many possibilities.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
My Friday mtg (my only standing meeting) got cancelled. Tomorrow I will need to seriously get a lot done though because last day for a week. And I FLAKED on something today.

Keep trying to get things done but I keep getting more things coming at me. I am looking forward to three day weekend though!
I definitely think if anyone here was going to turn into a cloud of bats it would be Atropa.

move out and draw fire
Here in DC, basically everything is closed on the 20th...the District is already kind of a no-go zone, with those of us just outside being told we should avoid going in if at all possible. Monday's a federal holiday and the federal gov't is closed on Wednesday, so most folks have written Tuesday off and I don't expect to see anyone until next Thursday.
Except maybe a friend of mine who is planning to project "I'M SURROUNDED BY IDIOTS" on the Washington Monument.
Oh, and there's a citywide cathartic scream scheduled for tomorrow at noon.

Citywide cathartic scream, what a good idea!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Oh right, I get Monday off too.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
I get Monday off and am taking vacation days on Tuesday and Wednesday. Originally the idea was so that I could bask in the inauguration and generally reward myself for having written thousands of Postcards to Voters and Vote Forward letters these past three years. But now it's more that I'm going to be a nervous wreck until Joe and Kamala are safely sworn in...and then probably still after that, since it's not like the Trump true believers are going anywhere and there are way too many of them in the military, police, Secret Service, and so on.
