Is it too late to go take them a thank-you thermos of coffee or hot chocolate and guilt them into doing your alley?
I don't know where they went. They were plowing a path through the construction lot for a bet but I don't hear them out there now.
She's terse. I can be terse. Once in flight school, I was laconic.

My problem is that the older I get, the more visual I get -- if I can't see it, it doesn't exist, so I have to clothes in folded piles where I can see everything, and shoes within view (one way or another).
God this is me. My house is a mess, but the things that deeply annoy me right now are the excess number of water bottles and the number of bags that are all over my damn house.

This is a huge problem for me with ltc's clothes. She'll grow out of something before she has even worn it because I couldn't easily see it in the drawer when picking out her outfits.

I just pulled a bunch of shirts out of my closet because I haven't worn them since we moved and when I went through them I didn't find one that was "Oh, so that is where that shirt is", so out they go. Now to move them from the pile in my room to a donation center.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
For the record, I never cleaned the bathroom or got work done yesterday. But I do feel good about bringing a bag to Goodwill! And I only brought home one sweater and two books.

Because books.
Oh my good god, SNOW. This town is so unprepared for storms like this. There's just not enough *room* -- the borough dates back to the early 1700s, when you were parking your horse in a stable, not your car on a street.
That's it for winter, right? We're done now?

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

I believe that it's up to Mr. Groundhog to decide, next week.

Given the host of this mtg has not appeared and is under the contract with admin leave, I think this meeting is not happening.

Whatevs, you showed up and can charge the time!
I went out and shoveled for a while, then walked the dog. There's not actually that much more for us to shovel to connect up with what the construction company has plowed in the perpendicular alley. My arms/shoulders/back aren't up to doing it though! Other neighbors are out there, though, and Bob will be after his last meeting and teamwork will get it done!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
if I can't see it, it doesn't exist
I've always been that way. I can erase entire rooms full of stuff from existence by just not looking through the door. Observer-created universe, baby.
I feel better today. But it won't last. Maybe a couple days. I usually get two-three depression-free days a month. I'd like an solution to this better than "hormones" and a vague hand-wave.
