Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

There is quite a bit of unhealthy food still in my fridge from the holidays. I am going to try and limit what I consume while still trying to use stuff up.

I am doing the same. I decided to see how long I can go without buying any new alcohol or sweets, but I am letting myself finish off the stuff I already had.

Thrive to spite them

I'm going to try Buzzfeed's 28 day workout challenge instead of focusing on food. I need to get more active and I'm still trying to adjust to Mom's weird eating habits but I'm trying to make better choices eating.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I hadn't really formalized it to myself, but I'm doing the same things Lee, I guess.

OK, have given up on the kitchen for the day. Even though I know, intellectually, it's a many day project, seeing how much is left undone each night is disheartening. But I have picked out clothes for tomorrow and I'm freshly showered so tomorrow morning should be easy. With a little luck, work-work will not be too tiring tomorrow and I can put in a few more hours of kitchen wrangling in the evening.

Your dinner sounds delicious, shrift!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So I made it to the office, but I feel like that may be all I can accomplish today. We'll see how I feel after a two-hour staff meeting at 9....

not your mom's socks.

I'd like to write more letters - thanks for the reminder, Kat.

Today I can't decide between my wonder woman t-shirt or my pink Marie Curie t-shirt. I think I'm going with pink.

This week's a mess. DH's last 'let's see what the whole stomach mess thing could bee' test is Wednesday and it's a big one. I'm a nervous wreck. All signs point to everything is ok and this is just A Thing, but augh. I am going to ask for ~ma and light candles but I'm also going to allow myself to be a wreck, quietly, where he can't see.

And work. SIGH.

So, hopefully 2016 can be a good year.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Stomach~ma for your DH, Sox.

I'm in the office wearing a bright pink, ruffled shirt under a long black cardigan and black trousers.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I am in the office, and that is about all that can be said for me this morning.

I am at work. have commiserated with other people at work about how hard it was to get up and come in this morning. We are all in agreement.
