Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?!

Called the Department of Elections and I am registered to vote! So I will figure out how I'm voting in between meetings today.

My ballot was fairly simple, though it did include the question of what to do with all the "extra" marijuana tax money - give it to education or refunds back to marijuana stores and customers. It is more complex than that, but that is the basics.

One county over is a HUGE big deal school board recall vote. Jefferson County is a mess and our news is saying that "the nation is watching" this vote. This mess started a year ago when there were proposed changes to the AP US History courses and has evolved to include relevance of teachers unions, pay for performance and equal funding for charter schools.

I'm staring out the window as I wait for a customer's computer to finish a process, and I finally realize what I'm staring at is the sunlight on the small waves on the lake a few miles away.

Eye surgery is in the top three best things to ever happen to me. Maybe top 2.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yay for good eye surgery!

I'm very grateful I have a bank of office windows that make the vision worth it--a 10-to-20-mile vista of mountains and lake and valley.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

One of the grammar schools in San Francisco just instituted an any-gender-run-to-whatever's-nearest restroom policy, and the reaction from parents was, "...So, pretty much exactly like we already do at home. Cool!"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I definitely don't understand why single bathrooms are gendered at all anyway, but even with stalls, I'm pretty neutral on the whole thing.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Most of my college dorm bathrooms and shower rooms were co-Ed by stall. People need to chill.
