Now I want to do it just to be silly!
I've been wanting a new tagline . . .
edit: There. Hooray for titles from the Society for Creative Anachronism.
Time for some thrilling heroics.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I have always liked being able to put BS after my name.
Liese, that sounds like a really pleasant routine. Maybe keep a timer by the computer you can set to remind you that you had other things to get back to?
I'm all a jangle with errands that need running but I'm expecting a package that needs a signature on delivery (tracking code says it's out for delivery and I do not have a good sense of when UPS is likely to show up except if I leave it will surely be right then). Maybe making my morning coffee a double espresso was not a good choice.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
I am too lazy to check and see if we have ice pellets mixed with the snow outside. It sounds like it, but all I see is snow, so maybe it's ice from last night cracking off branches in the wind.
I am so sick of being stuck at home. Holy crap.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Today I got an email from another Admin, who listed her name as "First Name Last Name, BA" Now I want to do it just to be silly!
My dad had business cards with "BA, LLB" after his name. I used to cross out the "LL" and write in "aracus" at the end.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
This is why I think I need some magical computer program that will remind me every day to do things like 15-minute cleaning blocks, drinking water and giving the dog his pills. It should have alarms and possibly nagging and should also track my consistency.
I'm pretty sure that exists. You'd just have to skim a couple pages of Lifehacker to find it.

You could totally make appts on a calendar device and get it to send reminders.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
iCal can do the alarms and possibly the nagging.
You can be notified of a pending reminder by setting one or more alerts for it using iCal. You can set alerts to make a sound, flash a notice on the screen, or perform other actions.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I have to remind Dan all the time that if, the dishwasher has space in it, to PLEASE put his dirty dishes right in there, and not on the counter or the sink.
And I have seriously though about labeling the shelves in the kitchen because, although he is quite amenable to sharing chores like putting the clean dishes away, HE PUTS SHIT IN THE WRONG PLACES. This is my pet peeve (Virgo) but it drives me batshit. The colander? it doesn't go THERE...!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
