Here y’all are being all responsible and getting things done and I’m all “I don’t wanna go grocery shopping, I’ll just go home and collapse”
Maintaining the balance, perhaps

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

-t, if it makes you feel better. I'm not getting much done either. I reheated soup and made grilled cheese....that's the extent of my ability to do anything.

Mmm, soup and grilled cheese, that’s a pretty good accomplishment just on the merits of having soup and grilled cheese

I will note that kat and -t went to dayjobs, and JenP, Laura and myself did not.
So we did things, but you were at your jobs. Jobs are taxing.
I'm tuckered after Pilates and cleaning the cage, but glad to have my WiFi and TV back.

I did some laundry but also realized I paid my one credit card twice and my other one not at all. Oops. (They were very similar amounts). Couldn’t figure out why the one account was texting me all “your bill is due” when I was like “I know I paid that!” Doh!
(Also hi Kat!!)

Hi Kat!
My sister has an A/C issue, and the tech is coming this morning. They just sent her a text with a picture of the woman coming and a full blurb of her history, hobbies, and experience. I hadn't seen that before, but kinda love it.

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
Part of my Lazy Princess New York Life is that I don't do laundry (very much by design, I pay this stupid rent for a reason), I drop it off. The place next door to me had a flood and is out of commission so now I have to carry my laundry a block and drop it off/pick it up on my way too and from the subway.
I am ashamed about how much this annoys me.

A thousand times yes to this.
Also. Hi, kat!

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.
Eh, unexpected laundry excursion that may require snowshoes is worth being annoyed by, Trudy. It's not like realizing that you need to throw a few things into an in-unit washer/dryer.

Hmmm.... there is the snowshoes...
And in other news, our threatened email "upgrade" has happened. I can't find a fucking thing. I have to tell the thing I do indeed want to open the item I'm double-clicking to open yet it still doesn't download graphics.
