We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I'm so sorry, Maria. How hard for his family, left thinking if they had only tried harder, when the odds are there was nothing they could do.

I just drove away from a drive through for the first time in ... ever? It was pouring rain and something was wrong with the intercom. I waited and waited, and when they finally asked for my order, they didn't have what I wanted. I tried to order something else, but I couldn't tell if they got the order or not. I decided to go on to the window, but when I went around the corner there were four cars ahead of me, and I could not even. Now I feel guilty.

Then I went somewhere else where I thought the cashier said "$7.02." I gave her 7.02 and she gave me 4 pennies back. I was too baffled to process this, so I took my food and went on. The actual bill was for $7.06.

I'm so confused.

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

I am so sorry, Maria. That is just horrible, all the way around.

Weird, Ginger. I guess she thought you gave her 2 nickels instead of two pennies?

Bailed on the massage. Which was only ever a vague idea in my head, to a plan or appointment or anything, so "bailed" may not be the right word. Not getting one, in any case.

I'm so glad my department has a "dammit doll" I can throttle when people are being stupid.

So sorry, Maria. That's just awful.

Off to the airport for a flight to Kansas.

Cool. I'm in Kansas right now!

Managed to get a 15 minute massage at the airport chair massage place. That was nice. But I'd rather like, a two hour massage and a nap...The good news is tomorrow if I manage to stay awake in having dinner with an old coworker who lives in Colorado but is in town at the same time I am!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

I'm so sorry, Maria.
