Timelies all!
Off from work today. Still got up at 6 to take the little guy(well bundled-up- it's cold here) to daycare. Got some prescriptions filled, got a gift card for a friend's birthday and bought a pair of sunglasses.
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Laundry done AND basement vacuumed. First time in a long time that's been done(not counting water related vacuuming, though that's why it could go so long without making me crazy.) Trying to decide on what next.

Oh! I just found out this weekend that we're getting an Alamo Drafthouse.
I love our Alamo Drafthouse, though it has ruined me for regular theaters.
Yay, napping ltc. Yay for people who have today off. Boo for those who don't (including me). But go us for digging in anyway.
Politicswise - I want to be both an informed voter and bury my head in the sand until after the election.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
When I was in school our social studies/history teacher would show us a video of the "I Have A Dream" speech every year on the 15th. This year I was happy to hear that my son's 5th grade teacher showed it to her class on Friday, which was of course the 15th.
I need to work today, create a good in-class exercise for my students for tomorrow. Luckily I have coffee and a fridge full of food, so all should be well. Plus Franny is doing her homework beside me while I am doing mine. (Er....)

Due to some arcane combination of tech support people getting the traditional Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve half-day off in a staggered pattern, I get to leave now with a full day's pay for half a day's work plus holiday pay. I do like my company.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I has sad. When I left NY 5 years ago I was very sad, but this time feels more final.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Tomorrow's 6:30AM meeting has been postponed a week. Which will suck next week, but Present!Me is celebrating at the expense of Future!Me.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'm sorry, msbelle.
