I know where my passport is! My birth certificate I have a copy of but not 100% sure it would be a legal type copy or if I’d need to order a new one with like a seal or something.

I am at the gym. I’ve done 2/3 of my workout. But now I need to do abs and have to psych myself up.

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

I carry my passport card with me all the time. I am pretty sure my actual passport and birth certificate are in the fireproof safe but I’m not sure where I stashed the safe. Or where the keys to the safe are. That stuff is very safe from both me and fire.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

My birth certificate WAS exactly where I thought it would be! Woo hoo! Bonus: tucked up next to my birth certificate was...my Social Security card!!! I don't remember putting it there, but it makes sense they're together.

My passport was not with them. The other place I think it might be is in the bedroom, and I'll check before I go to bed.

Total lunar eclipse tonight, y'all! Depending on where you are in the US, the timing of totality ranges from Late to Jesus Christ It's Late.

Punishingly Intricate

I know where my passport is but not my birth certificate. Is it in my safe deposit box? Maybe?

I’m going to meet a couple friends at 230 and sit on a roof and watch the eclipse. It feels like the right thing to do in these trying times

Our wings are not tired.

I went outside at around 2 and saw much of the moon hidden, but when I went out at what was supposed to be totality it was covered by a cloud. It likely would have cleared, but I went back to sleep. I do have to walk over to the beach for the full moon rise tonight since it is at a decent 8 PM and the forecast calls for completely clear skies.

I've been listening to BBC News in the morning. This morning, the discussion involved how to proceed now that the US has proven to be completely unreliable. With a side of do we just have to deal with this for 4 years or is this a more permanent change. It is just so depressing.

I should be absent today because I need to do something with my house! It doesn't take much for a smaller place to be completely out of order.

I think I was outside around the same time Laura. I was too tired and cold to wait for the totality though.

Besides, if I had waited, it might’ve got me.

We set the alarm for 3 a.m., scuttled outside to look at totality (very cool!), and went back to bed. This morning, my brain isn't loving the interrupted sleep, but coffee is my faithful companion.

Also, Happy Pi Day!
