I'm trying to decide between painkillers and booze.
I'd go with painkillers plus ice.
Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I'm trying to decide between painkillers and booze.

I iced it as soon as I got back, and took ibuprofen and tylenol. I may add 1/2 of a squirreled-away percocet on top of that, because it hurts around my ankle like a cuff, and then across the top of my foot. Dang it.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Person on FB just referred to the way some people think Christians are "enfilades".
I...assume that means infidels?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
My mind went to empenadas. Which, TBH, is a place my mind likes to go anyway.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
"A suite of rooms formally aligned with one another", apparently. I'm picturing a shotgun double, although the examples given include baroque palaces. Can't figure out how to apply it to Christians.
Also a military tactic, but I am even less confident I am picturing that correctly. Although maybe easier to apply to how some people think of Christians?

Still at work for the foreseeable future. We have ordered sandwiches and expensed them, and I have taken out my headphones and am listening to Hamilton out loud.

I'm feeling like I need to DO something to help refugees, because I'm just appalled at a lot of the rhetoric going around. I mean, I've signed some petitions and stuff. I looked into volunteering, and HIAS has programs in Columbus and Cleveland, but nothing in Cincinnati. Catholic Charities does have a refugee program in Cincinnati, and it says they're looking for volunteers for technical and clerical work, and for teaching ESL and citizenship classes, all of which are skill sets I have, so I'll look into them some more. (They also want people who can move and deliver things, which is not a skill set I have.) I think I'll go to synagogue tomorrow -- the rabbi gave a sermon on Yom Kippur about Black Lives Matter, and about how saying the words isn't enough if you don't have action to back it up, so she seems like someone I could talk to and find out what I can do.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Still at work for the foreseeable future. We have ordered sandwiches and expensed them, and I have taken out my headphones and am listening to Hamilton out loud.
Oh dear. Those sound like the only possible steps to take.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
I'm feeling the same way, Hil. I want to do something to help, though realistically I'm pretty maxed out these days as far as my energy and free time are concerned. But the need is so great, and I feel acutely how privileged I am, and I know that it's my responsibility to use that privilege to help others.
