Having one of those days. Forgot to put on deodorant this morning. Packed a lunch for me and the boys and then left it at home. Was late because I couldn’t find parking. Went to the wrong place. Left my cell phone in the car. Thought I lost a child in a public place for a frantic minute.
This day should come with a “do not operate heavy machinery” warning label or something.
Ben and Leslie Engagement Fest (1/30): “You’re a jerk”

I suggest a road trip? Home from Santa Fe? Instead of the plane.Whoa, that is a 30-hour trip. Why would they do that? Okay, flight is delayed maybe … until the next day. And Danny says he’s going to drive because he got his driver’s license for just this sort of situation. It’s sort of been a dream of his. Of course, the dream was always being alone on the open road, but … things have changed. Jeremy and Morgan choose to just extend their vacation, but Mindy insists on going with him because she pictures him trying to drive 30 hours straight by himself and is concerned. Okay, I might be able to work with this.

Basically, yeah. There’s also a short scene I wrote following the end of Frat Party, but just the one actual complete fic so far. I started a couple things after the finale but haven’t gotten far with them. Open to suggestions!
- Thanks to everyone who left sweet replies to my post yesterday about having a rough day. You all are beautiful people and though the hard bits are still hard, kind words from friends always makes it better.
- This morning I had breakfast with rikyl, who is a lovely human being. We had great conversation about Parks and writing and television. We walked around the farmer’s market and talked about fic and somewhere about the three hour mark we finally called it a day.
- While we were at the market a group of naked bicyclists did a couple loops. There was probably 40 of them and everything they had was on full exhibition. Then on my way home they were riding down the street and yes, that man is wearing a jester cap. There was another one on a two-tier unicycle. I couldn’t tell you why this happened.
- I bought a leash for my cat. He has been obsessed with outside ever since the weather got nicer. He’s never been an indoor/outdoor cat (though he has front and back claws so if he got out he’d stand a chance), but I was so tired of him whining. I refuse to walk him, but I do take him out onto the deck with me when I read so he can lounge in the sun and chase bugs. This seems to be the best solution for both of us, but I’m side-eyeing myself every time I do it. I bought a leash for my cat. What has happened to me?
I had such a wonderful time with Kyrie-anne, in spite of the alarming amount of nudity surrounding us. Google has since informed me that today was the annual Naked Bike Ride. It’s to protest the use of petroleum in products and to promote healthy body image—two issues that are clearly related to each other and to riding a bike naked. No, actually, I’m not sure how that makes sense. But it’s a thing, and apparently the police have just decided to let it be a thing.
Tell me you and him have happened.
