Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Yeah, time flies, meara.

The trip went reasonably well, but I still prefer to go by myself.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

I accomplished zero yesterday.

I've been sick with a low-grade cold/general ick since Friday (tested negative for Covid Friday and today, so I think it really is just general ick), and I feel like I deserve a medal for doing the dishes just now. Because I did nothing yesterday and most of today, too.

Mr S is one of the few Buffista Sprog whose age doesn’t surprise me because he’s the same age as ltc.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Exactly! To us, ltc is pretty much in the 3-5 age range as well!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Hey y’all. Having a hard time keeping up.

Sometimes I feel like I should finish the Outlander books, because my mom won’t get to. But only sometimes.

Plus of my job - no annual evals. Minus - no job description, shifting responsibilities, pretty much no benchmarks.

I am also currently losing a battle with the snot monster, and I’m waiting on a tow for my car. It wouldn’t start and it’s not the battery. Happy Monday!

Good morning. I do not want to. I do not want to anything except go back to bed.

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

Good morning. I do not want to. I do not want to anything except go back to bed.

I got up at 6am this morning to (a) take the garbage cans out (too windy last night set them out); and (b) make a bolognese for Matilda.

I was pretty convinced I was going to go right back to bed. Then I decided to go running since I haven't for several days but the rain immediately started.

So I went to the cafe instead for Second Coffee and a bagel and stepped out and the rain had stopped.

I swear I got psyched up to go running at least three times and every time the rain would recur to personally thwart me. I get it, Rain. Not today.

Damage didn't look bad in the Panhandle or backyard and we didn't lose power so, that part's good at least.

EM was going to come by but had to reschedule so really feel like the day is giving me permission to just make some chili and read.

As someone currently out of bed and doing, I can’t really recommend it.

Major tuneup needed, $1400. My bad for deferred (to never) maintenance. Spent my lunch paying CC bills and moving money around to see how close I can get without pulling from an account I am trying not to touch.

...and there's my reminder to get my oil changed. Thanks, smonster!

Dana I hear you. And David, “chill and chili” sounds great to me! I’m trying and somewhat failing to focus on work. Not even managing the productive procrastination I can sometimes trick myself into where I at least get some less awful tasks done while putting off what I don’t want to do.

Smonster that sucks. Hope it works out.
