What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Yay birthday Laura! I am so excited about your ocean kayak! Which brand did you get? Yeah, fishing kayaks can be pretty hard to turn over, as they're made to be stable. Which means they're stable both directions. I have gotten derailed in my kayak enthusiasm of two years ago and still haven't got past the stage of kayak rack.

Ack! My massage therapist broke her arm! I'm trying to get into the other person in the practice, because I cannot work with a one-handed "relaxation" massage right now.
Also, my boss apologized if her stress slopped over on me this morning, which was nice, but my own stress is significant, and I HAVE been fucking up. Oy.
Relatedly, I did not sleep well last night, and realize that for me, tired feelings make me feel depressed and a mess in general. If I can get a good night's sleep tonight, I should be fine in the morning. Still spinning a million plates in a terribly understaffed department in a role I don't really want, but fine.

Holli that's so exciting!

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

I'm just so glad I have a job that it feels even vaguely constructive to talk about, because I'm learning shit and they're learning shit, and PROCESSING and glayvin.
Took twenty fucking years, but there you go.

Sleep~ma, Jesse. That's not a fun place to be.

I don't even have real insomnia issues! But I had trouble on both ends last night, unusually for me. (Both ends of the night, stop being so dirty.) So I feel like I shouldn't actually complain, but I am tired!

Yeah, that's fantastic.

It is this one - [link] 12' sit on top. I love the small water tight storage cup next to the seat to keep your cell phone or whatever. The main storage areas are never even close to water proof.

On the other hand...OMG, how come people don't know how to use conference lines? I can hear your heavy breathing. It's all I can hear. We *all* hate your hold music. Always. Every time. We can also hear your screaming children. Typing. Beeps of incoming email. That's about all that's not really distracting.
