Oops, -t. I forgot to cancel a recurring order--I had moved it as far out as possible, got their "it will ship in 4 days if you don't change/cancel", and....didn't do anything. It's a bunch of stuff I may eventually use but really didn't need and is like $200 worth. Got the "it shipped!" email today. Argh.
Just tryin' a little spicy talk.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, I did that, too! Caught one but not the other one - actually didn't even know about it until the stuff showed up on my porch yesterday, that's how not on top of things I am.
Well, the good news is I can check my registration online. The bad news is of course I didn't pay it, so late fee, and I need a smog check. Sigh.
I guess the other good news is that my car is old and not worth much money so the registration and insurance bills are both relatively low, so they can just both go on a credit card today. But I didn't really need another reminder of how much I suck right now.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Test-driving cars after work. Nervous with this level of adulting. (Well, not nervous about test-driving cars; just nervous about writing a giant check for a car. Yikes!)

Good luck, Teppy!

Enjoy test-driving! You have done the hard part of writing the giant check - saving up to have the funds to pay.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

The words actions in the past 24 hrs by the gov, mayor and police would be comical IF THEY HADN'T DONE THIS ONCE BEFORE TO TERRIBLE RESULTS.
Jesus, it's like they collectively drink stupidwater and are trying to drive headlong into a wall.
"BPD acknowledge officers from other jurisdictions in city, in staging capacity. If donning protec equip, not bc of specific need at moment. "We certainly dont want that visual to look like we're expecting something, because we aren't" Had hoped to keep staging discreet, spox says

There seems to be a portal opening up over the lake, there's a bright beam of light coming down out of the sky. Oh, wait, that's sunlight. Co-worker: "The sun! It's forgiven me! No, come back, sun!"

What do you get when you have a quiet cul-de-sac with 7+ inches of snow, a 19 year old boy, and his car? Donuts. You get donuts through the snow. Goofy boy. On the other hand, he has also been shoveling more than just our property.
