I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

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

ION, I know you're not supposed to cut your own hair, but when the hair around my face gets on my last nerve, I grab the scissors. It's not getting in my eyes and clinging to my face anymore! I could never get away with this if I didn't have curly hair.

I cut my own hair all the time. But yeah, I doubt I could manage it if it weren't curly.

Punishingly Intricate

We finally took the dog to get a bath today. I feel like we should get some type of award. On top of the clean dog one, I mean. Man, she was stinky.

Those are cute boots, sara! I've been wanting to get new winter boots. Mine are pretty good but they are too short! And they're 7 years old so I think I can justify replacements. PLUS we're going to Iceland this winter! I think I want these:

Although one of my friends we're going with is getting them so that might be weird. I'll have to check with her.

I made my sausage-kale-mushroom-cheddar savory bread pudding, and it's lovely. So tasty.

I'll bet that's a relief!

I think I'm about to my San Francisco-Hyderabad-Dublin trip on my work credit card. Then I need to figure out where I'm staying, but I can worry about that tomorrow.

Travel plans, yay! I need to make some of those. I like Sorel boots, though I have never had reason to own any.

So many delicious dinners.

I used to cut my own hair when I wore it layered. The cut I have now I would not mess with, but it also grows out well so I'm not even tempted. It's slightly too long right now, but a little Ezra product and styling effort does fine and is, y'know, reversible.

Shit. I need a visa to travel to India. I guess I'll be figuring that out tomorrow, too.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I only trim my own bangs (and probably not super well at that).

I'm also here to tell you that reheated tater tots are soggy. Boo.

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

Well, no clean house and no exercise for me today. Blew a tire this afternoon on my way to pick up my mother for lunch and errand running. Hit a rock and within the span of 400 feet and one minute the left rear tire was flat. Two plus hours later, the car was towed and I was back out trying it again. Lunch turned into dinner, and a three hour Target trip. Didn't get home until almost 10.

Yay, Rome! This international trip planning reminds me that I have to renew my passport. My Italian one is valid, but my American one expired in September.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Just reading about all this travel is making both tired and a little jelly. But in a good way. Well, not the tired part, that's just tired.

So went to the intermediate Tai Chi class today. Was a bit lost but didn't really mind as I was able to learn the parts when she slowed things down and went over some of the sections. I am okay with waiting for it to all become clear eventually. I think I just like the names and then movements and thinking about the implications. Like Change is Difficult. And today we did something about monkeys. Monkey See, Monkey Do?
