Gud, working 8 hours in one day and doing all that stuff is probably more than I accomplish in a week (she says, realizing that it’s going to be 90 degrees the next three days and she hasn’t done laundry recently so none of her shorts are clean….)
Sunnydale's got too many demons and not enough retail outlets.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Our back in the office day got pushed out by one week so now it's the day after Labor Day. That is going to be the worst come-back-to-work-after a holiday ever. And it's a Tuesday so I will be starting at 6 am. I can't quite roll out of bed at 5:45 and be in the office by 6 the way I have been managing my Tuesdays...

Bummer. Start a petition that Tuesday is WFH day?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Just learned there is a YA book coming out soon in which a teen looks for clues about her birth mother in HER DAD’s LIVEJOURNAL. I don’t know if I’ve ever felt older than in this very moment.
And then the author comes in talking about "fellow millennials," and this Gen Xer is really feeling older than ever.

Oh dear. I mean, yeah that tracks with calendars and whatnot but also NOOO
Although also I do kinda want to read that now
I am out in the world meeting a friend for lunch/drinks! I feel very daring. Also I haven’t seen this friend in over a decade and we haven’t really kept in touch online but we talked on the phone (can you believe that?!) on Monday and that was pretty great so I am excited. Also I am having tacos and a cocktail right now and they are both yum. Red letter day.

Dallas County issued an emergency mask order Wednesday following a judge's ruling that local leaders could require masks as a measure to curb the spread of COVID-19. An executive order from Gov. Greg Abbott previously prevented mask mandates.
This is good, but I can't imagine the shit people are going to get trying to enforce this.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
I just spent 20 minutes trying to explain viruses to my dad.
Also found out my favorite diner in Salt Lake closed in May.
I want a drink. I'm not kidding.
