Jumped off a boat in the pacific ocean to chase after dolphins. (Ended up mostly chasing after jellyfish.)

atypical
I left work during work hours.
OK, it was to buy a carry case for my new work laptop, and I paid with a work-related gift card, but still.

Also, you guys! I found out today that a major project that has eaten my life the last six months and is going to be super important and high profile, up to the global CEO level, and be a just a really fucking big deal, came through today. And I can't tell anybody at work until next week sometime because formalities and CEOs shaking hands and whatnot. But yay!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
ita, they don't ever ride up when you turn over?
Never higher than mid calf, no. And I'm wearing socks so it's not the end of the world,
The last atypical thing I did was probably work-related. Pushing a point with all the directors, even the ones I'd never met before.
But I don't tend to think of things I've done as atypical, just things I haven't done yet. Once I do them, they're typical enough that I might very well do them again.
Dammit, I was supposed to pick up a prescription from the doctor's office today. But I do have enough meds to get to next week...and I'd love a proper lie down...
msbelle, that's a hard place to get wedged into. You need as many places as possible where you don't feel your back is against the wall.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'm not sure what's typical for me these days. Having a sugary soda the same day as a(sugar-free, now that I think about it) cupcake, which I am doing right now, perhaps.
I am brenda wrt sheets. And I have noticed my pajama pants inching up my legs, but it doesn't Boyer me.
Eta: Boyer? Huh. I'll leave it because I think you guys can puzzle out what I meant. Also, very cool brenda!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yay brenda!

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
OMG, buying a house is such a giant pain in the ass.

Which is totally typical.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Suzi, I swear, I would use my best trainer voice, when K-Bug got up to go into another room, and point at him: "Sit. Stay." Chances are he'd be startled enough to do as you say, and wait for an explanation. At which point I'd push a tiny piece of hot dog into his mouth and praise, "Good boy! She'll be back in a minute, yeah? Good boy! Stay!" And repeat at each repetition until he refused to come back in the house with the crazy lady, or got the point.
Not...that I've ever done anything like that to my kids' friends or SOs.
I grew up in a houseful of handmade quilts and always had at least one on my bed, two in cold weather. I loved the weight. H grew up with comforters and liked the weightlessness. At some point I realized my morning aches and stiffness were made worse by the weight of covers, and got rid of the quilts. Both of us run hot, so comforters are too warm, and usually we're down to a sheet and a cotton thermal blanket, with or without a light throw on top to retain the heat. Even in hot weather and no AC, I need a top sheet. For protection, you know. Must have huddle shield in my sleep. I like air movement, but not a draft. Even in hot weather, the fan oscillates so there's not a steady stream of air on me.
