You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

When your mother texts you, at work, at 8:45 am, to say she is lonely. Remember we were talking about emotional labor? I am pretty much tapped out on emotionally supporting my spouse and children, and I resent the shit out of my mother needing my to be her support as well.

Also I am literally counting white and black people in the 1870 census today at work, which is technically another department's job but I guess there is some political thing going on so I am doing it.

Our wings are not tired.

I don't need you, flea!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's so nice of you, Laura.

There's a pizza place downstairs from my office, and I have been smelling pizza all morning. It is killing me! Thank goodness it's almost non-embarrassing lunch time. And I have actually made some progress on one of my to-do items! So that's nice.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I need flea to have alone time for self-care.

Meanwhile, I don't feel like taking care of my mother, and I don't even have anyone else! But I've decided I can go shopping with her tomorrow if I also go by myself after.

hip deep in pie

I got my haircut last night and after initially liking it, I think it's a fail. I think it's meant to be kind of hipster nerdy, but it just looks mumsy on me.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

By summoning, we vibrate. Which sounds suspiciously like meara's post I must say! Although I can add this: Energy is the growth of wonder, and of us. We are all adventurers of the cosmos.

I may be a little bit in love with the New Age Bullshit Generator. I blame it on growing up during the 70s, when the woo-woo flowed from rainbow springs.

Took the morning off of work and went to explore a set of secret stairs in my neighborhood. It was the right choice, but now I must shower and get to work.

I heard back from the one coworker, and I'm still not sure what's up, other than she's not talking about it and she's very depressed. So either she is very sick, or someone she loves is very sick. But I'm doing what I can for her in the meantime. S.he asked for some help with caregiver resources, so I shared what I had with her.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Today, in Fine Moments in Work History, I'm hiding in my office so I don't have to go to a lunch-and-learn.

I'm viciously out of sorts today.

Hey, are you going anywhere near the terrible floods in India?
