Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Teppy, I wish I had something more than good vibes to offer. Much peace, love, and strength to you and your brother.

Matt, that's infuriating and I'm sorry that we collectively can't get our shit together to knock this crap off.

Sara, we're good. I always take you at face value, because I know that's how you are. My apprehension is more about me, and my fear that I'm always making every conversation about me to the exclusion of everyone else.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good for you, Matt. Bad for him.

People suck, Matt. I'm sorry you had to encounter that.

I just had a nice hot, shower. I pulled back the curtain to discover Oz had snuck into the bathroom and PEED on my clothes. WTF is wrong with this cat?

Sure he has a gay friend. Obvi.

My car just died. While I was on a bridge. Fuuuuuck. Thankfully random dude kindly offered to push and got me off the bridge and around the corner. Of course, it's Saturday night. And nothing is open tomorrow. Called the dealership and their service isn't open but the sales is and they said I could get it towed in and leave it there until Monday morning. Ugh. Hoping its something simple. (the bridge is a drawbridge and I turned the car off to wait while it was up...and then when I tried to turn it back on, it wouldn't)

Steph, hope you and your family are still holding steady.

Because books.

Yikes, meara! I hope it is something simple. (Sorry! I don't know how I conflated sara and meara!)

Steph, what Kat said. And also, you're a pretty awesome sister, I hope you know.

I would have told the kid's manager, Matt. That's awful.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Steph, hope you and your family are still holding steady.

I've been texting with my brother all day, and I think he's doing okay. He said he did some yoga and he's so out of shape that he thinks he pulled a muscle in downward dog. (No judgment here; I did actually pull a shoulder muscle in Warrior 1 once.)

I'm so freaking tired, though. Oh my lord. I kind of want to go to bed and sleep until June.

Weirdass day. Had an unexpected cat-forced nap in which I dreamed I woke up, but not fully, then passed out and dreamed in the dream and then woke abruptly for real from that. Left me unsettled and then a rough swim in a hot pool (Uhg.) went to the hardware store and ran into tons of people I know, which was hilarious,but my brain's still off kilter.

Uhg, meara. Not fun.

sara, you've been dealing with so much that no wonder your brain is doing trippy-nap things.

I'm borderline sick, but I had to take N to soccer tryouts and then hockey equipment pick up. I walked 4 miles while N did tryouts but I feel slow and blargh because of the sick.
