Sending soothing thoughts to your head, Jessica.
I'm avoiding doing housework. I have cousins arriving this weekend, and it would be dandy if my place was clean, and yet.
Mal: Can I come in? Inara: No. Mal: See? That's why I usually don't ask.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
It's weird because whatever else happens, this class is still kind of "The One Where He Couldn't Handle The Truth"(and, in a sense, might have left money on the table, which, both things go against every instinct I've had, ever.) Again, about something I said, not involving one's mother and small appliances--will never understand.

I'm up for a round of Onerous Tasks Accountability if you want to play...
I need to:
Call Xfinity and have them reboot my WiFi.
Open all my tax mail and send off checks.
Clean the Guinea Pig cage.
If I do all three of those before Pilates I would rate a freakin' Gold Star.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Huh, the two Carl's Jrs that were convenient to me have closed. I know they are one of the more evil fast food chains, but I went to one of those closed locations because the regular worker I always saw was so very nice supporting her having a job seemed like a good tradeoff. I hope she got transferred somewhere or got a better job. Other than cashing in my free rewards I have no incentive to go there anymore, especially as they are all out of my way to get to.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
So Barbetta is closing and its a place I always meant to go but never did. So I'm taking a shot at going. Wish me luck!

I have braved the Xfinity phone tree, and they can't fix it remotely. So now I have a tech visit planned for tomorrow.
But I did The Thing.
Task #1: completed. (Problem, still not resolved yet.)
Going to attempt cleaning the pig cage next.
That will require administering Second Coffee.
