Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

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

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Hope you had a good birthday, Ginger.

Our Nextdoor site is boring. Few posts, mostly asking for recs for tradespersons.

Short days make me feel like there's not enough time. I have to get up at sunrise to avoid feeling time pressure.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

It looks like the shooting was a guy who was abducted from a different part of town, brought over here, shot, he tried to run, was shot again, thrown in the car again, and driven about 2 miles away and dumped.

According to news reports, he is in the hospital in serious condition. WTF, criminals. You need to start acting right and not abducting and shooting people.

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

Good lord, Tep.

Man, I wish I could wait until sunrise to get up. I can only do that on weekends.

Woo, Royals! That was quite the series. If the Mets follow the same schedule as KC then next year is all theirs.

The fire alarm went off in my entire building not too long ago. I went downstairs and found a maintenance guy already there, and we were all, so I guess the building isn't actually on fire, huh? Fire department was here to verify we are not on fire, and they just left. My hearing is still messed up from the alarms.

In other news, we're getting actual precipitation in San Francisco right now. Also, tomorrow morning is going to be rough.

Our fire/door alarm has been going off all week. In 8 years it has never indicated an actual fire, or even gone off when someone slammed the front door hard enough to break it. Only false alarms on holiday weekends. It's made me seriously consider whether I have gloves with thick enough insulation to protect me while sawing through the damn thing's power cable with a hunting knife.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Maybe if I just stopped sleeping I could catch up on all my onerous tasks.

Ugh, right? I was going to see about doing something fun next weekend, but I can already tell I won't have time or energy.

I have to get up at sunrise to avoid feeling time pressure.

I've been getting up before sunrise, and it's no great shakes.

We had a special musical installation for a new minister at my UU congregation.

That kind of fits in with the question about if it's a Northeast thing, because the UUs are New England-based, right?

WORD.

It's still raining! I can't even be mad about it.
