you forgot the 200+ days of vacation per year that you get with the 2 years in politics

Come to think of it, I think politics might be the career for me. Except I'd get in trouble for throwing items and punches at the retards in congress. Sometimes it takes a hurled Budwieser bottle to the head to realize one is advocating stupidity.
In current news, tonight is either going to be awesome, or send me spiraling back down into the pit of depression, depending on if plans fall through or not. Update: guess, according to her, something urgent came up. Which could be true, could not be, whatever. Either way the reason I was looking forward to tonight is gone, so I guess I'm just gonna get blitzed and listen to Bob Seger.

She means 7am Saturdays or 0700 for us 24 hour time frame types. At least you can nap at home with the dogs.

I'd like to nap at home with some dogs. Except I like to sleep on my side and one dog likes curling up on my crotch when I'm back down. It makes sleeping uncomfortable for some reason.
Vasquez is a badass snuggle buddy if she just lays down and stays down, even if its on my head.
But she will also wake me up super early both for valid reasons like she wants to go out and invalid like, I just want you awake with me.

Having a hard time processing this one.
A friend of a friend was killed in the storm in Chicago yesterday. Until then, I didn't even know she existed. Now, my news feed on Facebook is clogged with images and pictures and stories.
Well, I don't know how much you know of the chihuahua batallion, but one of them nests on an entire king size blanket, or sleeps between my legs, or curls up under my arm when I sleep on my back. The other will begin the night on the side of the bed where the other human is not, then will get shooed to the foot of the bed, where she will curl up for a bit before tucking in with the dirty laundry.

Take a moment to reflect on how cruelly random that death was, and how this person's friends and family must be grieving. Maybe say a few, simple words of condolence, if appropriate.
Then filter the stories out of your newsfeed. You don't need constant notification that strangers died and people are sad; it is a given in life.
I have the same grocery budget per week as the average family in Ecuador or Mali.

I spent two years with a $50/month food budget. I'm wanting to go for $20 or $25 per week when I move out now. But maybe not at first.

I can handle it. But my son isn't a baby anymore. Its becoming frustrating.
My breakfast this morning was 1/4 cup cooked oats, 1/4 cup cooked lentils, 1Tbsp sugar free blackberry jam.
But asking my son to eat like that isn't as fair. And he needs bigger quantities. That's a pickle I am learning to navigate.

So I've started watching Californication. Man this is a pretty badass show.
For a while I thought I just inhaled too much concrete dust, but my body is going through a rollercoaster of feeling good, then feeling that I'm sick.
But I saw my baby niece and she's cute so there's that 
Good news! The foot isn't broken.
Better news! I found a doctor that will tie my tubes!
Meh news: I have to wait for them to call me with an appointment date. I want this done, like ten years ago.
Whatever. I have the permission. That's half the battle.

Wee! I have about 14 hours before the landlords could come in and inspect this place. I love it when they say that they give you 24 h notice before they can enter the apartment, but they give you the notice about 6 hours before you wake up. It's days like this I'm glad I don't have a job to go to

Good thing the apartment really isn't all that bad. We need to do something about the bed room though.

I've got plans. I'm summoning the agents of the goblin king to return the junk back to the junk lady's junk pile

Back to School night...
I think when I'm talking to other parents, I need to write on my nametag: "Sorry this is awkward. I'm just figuring out how to say the next sentence without dropping an F-bomb."
Also recently had a conversation with another mom that suddenly, hinging on one sentence, took a left turn into Holy Shit Am I Talking To A Fucking Crazy Person?! So of course I'm running into this lady everywhere now.
Regarding moderating: I'd rather just go into politics. Show up to work drunk all the time, do two years, and make money the rest of my life.
In other news, just made a drink via layering that was pretty much all the colors of the rainbow in a gradual transition. Tasted kinda like a creamsicle.
