I'm a single undead gal trying to make it in the big city. I have to start somewhere and they're evil here. They don't judge. They've got necro-tempered glass. No burning up. A great medical plan, and who needs dental more than us?

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...

Our wings are not tired.

Bummer. Start a petition that Tuesday is WFH day?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You guys, see this tweet: [link]

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.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

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.

Thrive to spite them

I swear DeSantis wants to kill as many people as possible. He's running for re election as well, I don't get his strategy unless he thinks he can just rely on the hard core Covid is no Big Deal voters... but will enough be alive next year to vote for him?
