You should set aside enough money so that, if you suddenly lose your income, you can still post bail.
Mental Health Blog Day: Jessica's Adventures in...
geekyjessica:
Today is apparently Mental Health Blog Day according to my friend Dr. Andrea Letamendi (Read her blog, it’s amazing: www.underthemaskonline.com)
I guess that means it is as good a day as any to talk about Jessica’s Adventures In Crazytown.

Waiting for Kelsey to pick me up. There’s a lady that just pulled her beat up minivan into a handicap parking spot. Wearing an “I love Jesus” cap, her purpose seems to be eating McDonald’s French fries. She keeps glancing at me, standing against the wall, deeply involved with my phone, squinting my eyes against the sunlight. I wonder if she knows I’m watching her....

Sawaboof: Review your purchase! →
This is a high quality product that delivers 2 out of 7 possible diatomic elements. Basically these 2 oxygen atoms are holding hands, and then decide to use their free hands to hold hands with Hydrogen. It looks like this: H-O-O-H. And they’re all holding hands and singing and it’s all fun and games until BAM! Oxygen just stole an electron from Hydrogen! Maybe the hydrogen wants to...

Movie Night with the Santiago Children
Hanging out with the 7 and 9-year-old tonight…
“SarahBooth we made up this song.” “Oh yeah?” “Old MacDonald took a dump. E-I-E-I-O! And in his dump there was some corn. E-I-E-I-O! With a corn hole here, and a corn hole there. Here a corn, there a corn, everywhere a corn corn. Old MacDonald took a dump. E-I-E-I-O! Old MacDonald took a dump. E-I-E-I-O! And in his...

My mom used to give me peanut butter crackers to bring for my snack day.
I didn’t choose the assassin life; the assassin life chose me.

Ask your doctor if Heinlein is right for you.
Side effects of Heinlein are common, and include nonconformist thinking, exploring fundamental life questions, and grokking.
Interstellar war with bugs is a rare, but serious, side effect of Heinlein.
Users of Asimov may experience heightened risk of these side effects and should use Heinlein with caution.

Anyway, Josh left bacon-wrapped stuffed jalapenos in my mailbox last night and I forgot until I got home from work and saw them and was like ooohhh… riiight. What was the temperature today? I have no idea. They’re still pretty cold and they smell ok so…
Just in case anyone wants to know how I died later, they’re baking in the oven right now.

I effing hate entitlement.
If a business can’t/won’t give you what you want/need (e.g. special menus at restaurants), don’t use that business. If they’re jerks, get others to stop using the business, too. Businesses don’t have an obligation to change how they practice because you have hurt feelings. The world doesn’t exist to cater to you.
Sometimes you can be fine all day and then, all of the sudden, you just want to go to bed because the only other option is to feel sad for no reason. Or hope this old Charlton Heston movie can occupy enough space in your brain long enough for you to push through it.

Today, because the State doesn’t interrupt my workload with enough useless bullshit really, really important, mandatory, 3-hour trainings preceded by mandatory 2-hour webinars all about the trainings we will be attending (With PowerPoint!!), I get a phone call from one of the group homes I work with concerned because the State did an inspection and strongly recommended they find an alternate...
I have an irrational fear of encountering people I’d rather avoid for the rest of my life, so I avoid places or go and leave them as quickly as possible so I don’t feel anxiety over looking up or turning the corner and running into them.

We went off leash at Lake Michigan today. As per...
And then Tiki ran up to the ice and tapped it with her paw. It started drifting away. So she jumped on it.
She then immediately turned around, looked at me, laid down, and started whimpering.
Because she was drifting out to sea! She was an entire 3 or 4 inches away from the shoreline, seeing if maybe she could make it back by moving her belly and sticking her paw out.
It was really pathetic,...

A letter.
To my dear Wilde Honda Service Team,
Thank you for your most recent correspondence.
While I appreciate the multiple, attempted-guilt-trip, presorted standard class mailings I continue to receive asking why you haven’t seen me and my 2009 HONDA FIT in a while, like I’ve told the various service representatives who have called me 3 times now in the past 12 months (in addition to the...

Just another nighttime dog walk.
Tiki: What is that?!
Me: No Tiki.
Tiki: Is it a squirrel?!
Me: No Tiki.
Tiki: Does it want to... Play!?!??! Playplayplayplay!!PLAY!!
Leash: Tug snap tug yo.
Tiki: Girl Human. There appears to be some sort of force field surrounding my leash. I demand once again that you lower your shields. Or I will continue trying to break through on my own.
Leash: Tug snap tug yo.
Me: Come on Tiki.
Tiki: Play!! Playplayplayplay!!PLAY!!
Critter: Growl hiss bare teeth.
Me: Shut UP Skunk. We're nowhere near you. Go away.
Tiki: Play!! Playplayplayplay!!PLAY!!
Me: *Dramatic sigh. Drag dog away*
Leash: Tug snap tug yo.
