You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

That's a lotta steps -- make it to 15K or not, you're awesome.

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

Thanks! I know shrift and Kat and others probably do that most days, but it is a lot for me, especially since the PF started.

I need an Internet explanation. I saw Beyonce's new video (which is pretty awesome), but I don't understand the Red Lobster jokes going around Twitter. Can someone explain?

Oh, wait, I just saw the lyrics: there's a reference to going to Red Lobster in the song. Yay, I answered my own question.

I was trying to do my taxes but the turbotax site quit responding and Wells Fargo doesn't want to give me a 1099INT (though I think I can get that from statements.)

I marketed, haircuted, shopped, swam, replaced the dryer hose, doing laundry. More shopping tomorrow, more laundry, hopefully painting and dropping shit off at BARCS.

Before I moved, that was a usual day for me. Now I struggle to hit 10,000 steps during the week because of my commute.

Ok, making progress. But I gotta call WF. I think I need that 1099. And holy crap, even doing minimum amounts, donating 134 items of clothing adds up!

I walk fewer steps than you'd think. But I don't fitbit anymore for the most part. I use a misfit that counts different stuff now.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I'm sitting in my office listening to one show on the monitor in the hall and another on the monitor in my office, plus clear-com. One show just hit intermission and the other (which started 1.5 hrs earlier) is nearing it's 2nd intermission (of 3). It's a glamorous life.

Belated, forgotten pro tip: don't go to Trader Joes the day before the Super Bowl. I saw the lines, thought WTF, but didn't clue in until listening to the convos in line and surveying carts(not my regular TJs.) OTOH, they were running freebie contests (handing out #s and whenever a kid was at checkout, they spun a wheel) and I won! Got an extra tub of the almond biscotti (you got to pick.)

But holy jesus, last time I ran into lines like that was the first week of the Pikesville opening.
