Thursday Thoughts - you got to grow, you got to learn by your mistakes, you got to die a little every day just to try to stay awake

1. The time from the weekend before Memorial Day through the second weekend of June is a nice warm cocoon where I spend more time at the shore than in Philly. Those periods of time are my halcyon days. I was ripped from it abruptly on Tuesday for a meeting that popped up and re-entry was not kind. My dogs were not pleased either but at least they were pleasantly exhausted from all the walking and being awake they do down there vs sleeping 16-18 hours a day like they do at home.

2. When I go back and forth between the shore and Philly quickly I have to take photos of what I leave in my drawers because I can't remember. More than once I've been sure I left clothes there and arrived to find nothing, leaving me wearing the same thing all weekend long. I mean, I sort of do that anyway, but it's a choice. 

3. I was super pumped to see this when I got off the train this morning. Art is coming to dank and drab Suburban Station!

4. When your coworker BFF sees you. Let one motherfucker be offended by this in this world, seriously.

5. I never have to serve, rarely have to show up even, but like clockwork I get the notice. I don't mind. We are responsible for doing these things. It just makes me laugh when I see “it’s your turn.” Mofos it is always my turn. 

6. "I'm full' is a good description of how I feel when things are super peopley. I don't go from having fun to being overwhelmed though, and I don't worry that anyone will be offended that I'm going to go be alone for a while. Fuck that noise, if you are offended by people doing what they need to do to take care of themselves, you have problems that have nothing to do with the person who has allegedly offended you. I know what I need and I make sure I get it because if I don't, no one else will. The last sentence is my approach to life. 

7. Do you finish a book at 11:38 pm and then pick up a fucking new one and start reading it even though you have to get up at 6:30 or am I the only moron who does that? Book 78 of the year was...

8. I've been doing my own pedicures - I know, who am I? - but had to get a quick one at lunch yesterday because I've been out of time. Essie Bachelorette Bash

9. Reminder:

10. Ecards: me, contacting the City of Philadelphia's Historic Events booking people this week after three weeks of no replies.

I’m off tomorrow. Have the best weekend!
