I woke up at 3am and couldn’t fall back asleep so finally at 430 just got up and started reading the internet, then joined a 6am meeting I wasn’t planning to attend (because I also have a 7am meeting I have to actually participate in) but I may just take a huge nap in the middle of the day.
It's all about choices, Faith. The ones we make, and the ones we don't. Oh, and the consequences. Those are always fun.

Punishingly Intricate
I woke up to people on our roof at 7 am. I was hoping to get a shower before they started but oh well. I mean, I could shower but they are replacing the skylight in the bathroom and brrrr

lol—planned people on the roof, I assume—I initially read that as “surprise! Burglars on the roof!” Or something.

Our wings are not tired.
Roofers replacing the bathroom skylight would no doubt applaud you taking a shower.

Takes me back to a few years ago when college kids from the bar a few doors down were doing parkour on my building's roof. My neighbor had her gun out and was about ready to start shooting holes in the ceiling before we found out what was going on.

Ha! I had the same reaction—"People on the roof...on purpose???"

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Same. I wake up to raccoons on the roof pretty often, but people are a whole other level!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Fun fact: If you're home sick and all you want in the world is mac-n-cheese but all you have cheese-wise is not enough feta...
Cook the noods in chicken broth and feta brine (only enough liquid that you're not draining), when they're done stir in some raw eggs and butter and the paltry quantity of feta.
It is surprisingly cheesy and satisfying.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.
I just had my annual review and got a "strong achieves", yay!
Huzzah! I just did a happy dance in my kitchen. Well deserved, dear Atropa.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
I wouldn't have expected anything less, but it's good to see people get theirs. I think my boss has given up on me a little since I didn't have a posse for the disability committee and ended up recruiting one of my friends who is almost a rival(Most of my disability friendships are that way, though, really. Like we all periodically discover we signed up for the same sad contest.) Now, I get calls where I get thanked a lot. Which sounds good, but really means the person wants credit for engaging without being helpful. Maybe that's why vets don't always like "Thank you for your service," either.
