I think Gud was saying he has done all that -- not all in one day (though, if anyone could, it would be Gud). I have not done any of that.

Today's productivity has been writing an email for the NP I work part-time for about our upcoming Mem Day 5k walk and doing laundry. Not bad.

Yesterday felt like Friday. Today feels like no day.

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

It's a long time since I actually did any work on a car. I used to help my dad bleed brakes fairly often, or so it seemed at the time, and I've replaced hoses and whatnot and changed tires on occasion but none of that for ages. I don't even take my car in for someone else to change the oil as often as I probably should (I feel like the recommended time is too short because I don't put a lot of miles on it).

My work day is draaaaaaaggggggging. Both because I would rather be done with working and heading to SF and because the cloud-based software I am mostly using is taking forever to actually do anything.

Will there be a link to the livestream tomorrow? I decided to stop in.(the political work never really stops...moving it back is not such a crisis.)

Because books.

Sending tiny task~ma to David, and the same regrets that I can't be there this weekend. Sending all my love.

Happy birthday, Vortex!

And very, very belated thanks to Teppy on my DST mini-freakout.

Happy birthday, Vortex!

That's a bullshit timesuck, chair vendors!

There is a special hell for companies who don't make it easy for you to give them your money.

I think I've done everything that needs doing.

I'm tired and a little fried, but all that's left is some housecleaning.

Aw. I could never do that. (I'd get *most* of it, perhaps, but I'd forget forks and have fifty people eating with their hands.) We had Belated Mother's Day today cause last week Mom had to see the doctor.
