I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Meats, given your job, you might want to give the bihn bags a look. They're fantastic.

Eta: damn iPhone. This is the second time meara has been reduced to meats!

Reduced to meats, hah! I keep thinking I'll look at them, but I finally got a tiny rolling suitcase I love because I can put my laptop in it! I'm hoping new company will give a lighter one but the old one was super heavy. And I'm usually only gone a day or two so it fits all I need. But one of these days...

"Sleeping in"= woke up at 7. When did I become this person?

Oh yeah, I need to get a laptop bag. But will probably do that through work.

Apparently, starling tv drama is happening outside my kitchen window. There are two fascinated cats meeping on the windowsill.

I am looking at houses for sale and thinking about various ways to make school work here and getting depressed. It just doesn't feel like there's a niche for us in Cincinnati. I never would have thought I'd feel more at home in Georgia than in the place where I was born.

In Facebook WHOA news, a girl I was good friends with in 5th-7th grade now lives in Israel and has 8 children (ages 3-14 or so). Her family was so secular when I knew her that I didn't even realize she was Jewish (and we did have a lot of Jewish classmates, so it's not like I was unfamiliar with the concept).

"Sleeping in"= woke up at 7. When did I become this person?

5 here, but I didn't have to get up and get out of bed at any time before that so I count it as a win?

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

Grrrr. At ER. No meds yet. Famished and nauseous.

meara,

too late for you now, but here is what I travel with which is good for at least 2-5 days depending on how I pack and the weather.

the above is a great carryon, stable wheels and does handle a lot.

In addition, my "purse" is [link] in small. It holds my laptop, wallet, key cords, a book or two, key papers, etc.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Bring ita meds and food, ER!

I got up and functional at 7 like a normal person, so I guess we're meeting in the middle today?

Hey, how come people use wheeled carryons instead of backpacks? I find my backpack is much easier to wrangle, even having to bear its full weight. Mine is the backpack version of this which appears to be not made anymore, more's the pity. But it's great, fits the bin easily, and holds my laptop and enough clothes for me for any length of trip. But I'm not wearing businesswear and I'm willing to wash things in the sink.
