It's been like an entire month!
Almost two entire months! I have not yet been on an aeroplane this year!
You're talking to Serenity. And, Early... Serenity is very unhappy.

Wha?!! But you're like Aquaman, you need to dip your toe into the TSA line regularly or you'll shrivel up and lose your awesome powers.

My goodness, the good news I alluded to yesterday has not yet dropped. Well, fingers still crossed.

Our wings are not tired.
Laura, how are things?
Overwhelmingly busy. I pop in and scroll through nodding and sending ~ma, and then back to work. This is probably for the best since it is something I have some control over, unlike my son. Sigh.

Trump won Nevada! Looks like America might be great again.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Trump is winning because the rest of the GOP candidates are tools. It must be awful to be a loyal Repub who'd never vote for a Democrat, but your choices are Trump, Rubio, or Cruz. That's FCM with dire consequences. Death may have to be an option.

I slept like utter crap last night. I know I looked at the time at 1:30 and 3:20 this morning. Had disturbing dreams - and I don't normally remember my dreams.
Caffeine is broken and I have meetings starting in an hour. Halp.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I had a terrible dream this morning too. Then my bladder forced me out of bed an hour before my alarm. Ptui. (Autocorrect thought I meant Putin.)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Ptui. (Autocorrect thought I meant Putin.)
I could see that as an exclamation of disgust.
I had a moment of panic ordering my chorizo breakfast sandwich at Starbucks. If I don't know the language of origin, I don't know how to pronounce the "ch"! All the variations sound right to me at this point. The barista understood what I wanted, so all is well.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
You guys, I couldn't make this up if I tried. On top of what's going on with my brother,** and the several funerals we've already attended this year, Tim just had another death. He's still on friendly terms with the ex he was with before me -- they lived together, and her kids (who are adults now) also lived with them when they weren't with their dad. Both kids were close to Tim and gave him Father's Day cards and such.
His ex's daughter ODed on Friday and passed away Sunday night. She was only 26. Tim is doing okay, though he said that yesterday it really hit him and he lost it at work. I feel so bad that I'm not there when he's sad and grieving.
This is just too fucking much.
**My brother is doing a LOT better today. His therapy session yesterday was really good, and he spaced his beers out every 3-4 hours. His withdrawal symptoms are almost gone, his blood pressure is good, and he thinks he's going to be able to have a beer every 8 hours or so today.
I was REALLY dubious that he could do this without going to the hospital, but he really does seem to be doing well. I'm still going to stay through Sunday because his wife won't be back until then. But he may come out of this okay. I'm hopeful.
