Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.

I'm sorry, Laura.

This too shall pass.

The media that makes 45 nuts keeps me sane, somewhat.

Laura I am so sorry.

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.

Laura, that's so hard. I'm so sorry.

I have zero motivation today.

Mac has got a job at Whataburger, he's getting paperwork done today and will hopefully have a start date soon. Still waiting to hear from UPS. If he gets that, he will work 2 jobs as long as he can manage.

I think I will look at cars on truecar today, keep s positive outlook that he will save $500 quickly and be able to buy a car.

I also have zero motivation today, as a carryover from yesterday's lack of motivation. I mean, I'm getting stuff done, but...resentfully.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

Laura, I'm sorry. Hope you can arrest the spiral.

I found out as I was leaving work yesterday that I'd applied edits to the wrong, outdated files for a 130-page book, and have to redo everything today. Yet I am still somehow lacking the motivation to get to work quickly on correcting the issue.

Because books.

So this is Motivation Missing Friday? Because mine is nonexistent. If I could sleep all day, I would. Instead I'm browsing the interwebs and putting off anything remotely productive.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

It's been a long, eventful week.
