I really shouldn't have checked Facebook before getting out of bed this morning. Hard to make myself get up and face a world without David Bowie in it.
And we live to fight another day.

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

Wow, David Bowie. I don't know how to feel.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
The radio said that he got a cancer diagnosis 18 months ago and told almost no one.

Our wings are not tired.
Yes, I guess there were whispers here and there, but for the most part people/press gave him some privacy.

I'm glad I work from home, because I'm playing Bowie all day.
This is also my plan, but I have to wait for my headphones to charge up because I do not work from home and none of my coworkers have mentioned it yet (neither have I, but I am generally taciturn and silent. It is known)

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Double fucking whammy today. Woke up and heard about Bowie. Just about an hour ago BF texted he was going on a call. I was also listening on the scanner. Shooting--one dead and one flown to the trauma center. This is in the little bitty town of 1500 where the restaurant is. Not even his full-time EMT job; he volunteers here. It sounds horrific. His voice is super-stressed on the radio. This is the first time we're dealing with a call this bad as a couple. I'm trying desperately not to step in the guac. Goddamned idiots with guns.
edit: I am also concerned for the victims, but my first priority will always be him. Shooter is in cuffs. What the hell is going on here?

Did you know they made mint Kit-Kats? I do not approve. I mean, they're chocolate, so I ate them, but still.
Hugs to everyone this morning. It's a rough day. There are window washers or something outside, and it's windy, and I'm at a weird kind of corner at the building, so for about an hour, the cables holding up the platform have been slamming into the windows behind me. It is not helping me keep my thin grasp on my temper.

Mint kit-kats sound like a good idea. Sorry to hear that the reality is disappointing.
