I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

I am hanging out in the airport. And my lunch was InandOut. Burger and fries. Which wouldn't be so bad except I do it too often. And since breakfast involved a scone along with the latte...

Also, someone above mentioned clementines. Which I love. But annoyingly in Seattle, all the boxes of small orange fruits are satsumas. Which don't taste the same.

Our neighbor brought us a big bag of "Mississippi Satsumas" from when he went to his family's for Thanksgiving. They were more like tangerines than anything, but sweet and juicy and delicious.

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

Satsumas are what I grew up with. I like clementines, but they don't quite hit the spot the way satsumas do.

Does hard cider count as a serving of fruit?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I grew up with ortaniques. You should all have grown up with ortaniques.

The pear cider I bought from TJs is highly disappointing. So much cinnamon it doesn't taste like pears anymore.

I have been freaking out about this meeting with my boss all day, and I don't know where he is.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I wish I had a clementine. And a root.

I am feeling SO LAZY, but I have to go out! Out for delicious Ethiopian food.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

but I have to go out! Out for delicious Ethiopian food.

Oh, you poor thing.

call me jacki; zuisa is an internet nick from ancient times =)

I've never had Ethiopian food, but it seems absolutely glorious, from what I've heard. So jealous here too!
