Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?!

My brother is making some really positive steps in his sobriety...and posting Ayn Rand quotes on Facebook. O_o

I don't want to kill him since he's making such good progress with his sobriety, but I might have to anyway. Come on, man. Ayn Rand???

Early morning deals were great! At the sample sales everything is $10. So, 5 shirts, a pair of shorts, a pair of running tights, and a three pack of undies for $80! And my tummy eventually decided to chill. Waiting for breakfast to settle before I go to the gym.

Teppy, that's...unfortunate. Yay sobriety but geeeeeez.

Probably it's a phase? The he skipped when he was 16 because of the drinking?

ION, confidential to Teppy, I just found out that a guy I knew in high school (whose name is, I kid you not, Speed Weed) is an executive producer on Arrow.

Ran the dog 5 miles in the woods this morning, now we're chilling out before driving out to agility class. Have to time the drive just right, because there's limited parking and a class right before ours.

Later I have to make bread for a work event on Tuesday. I'm thinking sriracha cheddar bread, doesn't that sound like the sort of thing to have on Mardi Gras?

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

That's great, meara!

Mixed bag, Tep. Maybe this is something he has to work through.

flea, I see that guys name in the credits and am SO CURIOUS about him, so that's very cool that you know him, or knew him, or whatever. Real name, then?

Yeah, that sounds good, Consuela.

Ack, I should probably leave now to meet my mom for lunch. Oops.

His legal name is William Henry, but he has used Speed (and sometimes Speedy) exclusively since small childhood. I knew him fairly well in high school but have not talked to him since, although I see on Facebook we have mutual friends in touch. I also see he has triplet daughters who are toddlers.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Holy cow triplet toddlers!

My woot materialism news is that my favorite overpriced outdoorsy outfitter store back in Wichita just contacted me. They saw the movie Ragamuffin and heard about our org through them and want to know if we can come give a talk. Oh, heck, yes. And also will you give me discounts on smartwool socks, because I had a smartwool sock dealer who was always giving me free overstocked stuff and they went out of business (I swear, not just because of me) and now I'm out of socks because I am too spoiled to buy normal socks and too cheap to buy smartwool at retail prices.

Right on, Mr. Weed!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That sounds like the sort of thing to have all the time!!!

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

My version of the Weasley ugly jumper 5k: walk just over.a mile doing morning stuff, then take a two plus mile route to the ATM that is just under a mile from my house, then another .75 miles running errands, eat too much sushi, take a mile and half route home, and then almost immediately take the dog twice around the block, which means I walked 10k all total.

Tired now.
