Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I think I just don't like listening to long and involved rules! bothD&D and football! I have always liked hockey the best- I think because it is please t to watch players come in and out of the game so beautifully- like a dance! But I have a hard time listening to actual rules.

Coding and Sleeping

I'm rather liking Georgia, especially for printed text.

Today's water-related drama was the failure of our water heater expansion tank. At least it wasn't the water heater itself. I was able to get it fixed so all water stuff is okay for the moment.

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

I keep being almost productive today, but then not.

I keep being almost productive today, but then not.

I've mostly checked my bank accounts, started gathering tax forms, and ordered a pair of boots via Virgin's Fly Store to earn more status points. I renewed a domain.

I should put on outside pants and go hike in the park.

Pants. Exercise. Okay. Doing the thing.

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

I am Day of Resting with a vengeance. Eating, reading, napping, going to watch some TV now. Productivity tomorrow.

I am doing laundry. I might put it away.

I did leave the house, as long as walks around the block with the dog count.

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

I want outside for groceries and to walk the cat. It was a lovely, sunny day, but now I feel kinda wiped.

Our wings are not tired.

Today was a really lovely day so I went to the beach with visiting SIL. She went swimming but it seemed chilly to me. When I got home I checked the surf temp and it was 80F!! I apparently have some Florida blood because it just wasn't warm enough.

Really haven't done much of anything other than getting sunburned.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Don't worry, Lee, I am being productive for both of us. Reorg'd and rendered accessible and useful the living room closet, ditto'd the toolbox/maintenance/earthquake emergency supplies cabinet, slowly working on Matilda's bedroom closet, another Goodwill bag in progress, and planning to spend the evening making lemon cookies and working on the living room coffee table and miscellaneous crap pile.

For entertaindistraction, old episodes of New Girl are chugging along in the background (up to the S1 episode in which Martin Starr is brilliantly creepy--he's so amazing, consistently, but it's still always a jolt to see him playing a grown-up instead of Bill Haverchuck; I never have this issue with any of the other former F&G cast members, just him).

And Winston just started warbling "Defying Gravity." I have fallen utterly in character-love with him; he's just such an unabashed, whole-hearted, beautifully written benign weirdo. If I had won the Powerball (if I had bought a ticket), I would totally use my winnings to force every showrunner in Hollywood to borrow whoever on the NG staff is responsible for the majority of his lines and insert him into every show.

Anyhow, enough burbling. Time to take the composting out and throw myself back into the disaster that is the M-room closet.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Going to Target and a couple shoe stores and the bank wiped me out. I'm learning that I can't dash out the door without eating breakfast just because I'm not hungry; I'll crash and burn by 1pm and take the rest of the day to recover. Breakfast is necessary, and a cup of yogurt won't do it, either. I'm better off to have a big breakfast and have the cup of yogurt for lunch.
