When you have a people-pleasing past so now you desperately hope the teachers & school administration don't find out you're WEAK to emails that include, "I appreciate you!!", and similar sentiments. 🥲

Minutes Before Everything Changes (Again):
Fiction
Shannie and I walk home as soon as we finish eating, the party sounds fading abruptly behind us. The sun is almost gone and our skirts look ratty and dirty in the half-light.
“I wonder how Gram is doing without us,” Shannie says.

Today I saw a company flier begging for applicants... only you have to download their special company App just to apply!!
It's not even funny what kind of loss I will absorb if I have to create an account to do business with you. I will walk away from a winning lottery ticket, I promise you.

Pete is lost in terms of modern war. I use the example of this outgunned Ukrainian army officer who successfully terrorized a Russian unit for weeks because she "did the math."
At the time, someone commented, "yeah, in combat, 'I did the math' beats 'I can do 100 pushups' every time."

It's Fat Bear Week so I'm once again supportively witnessing this kid's entire rant about chonkiness being prized in nearly every species except humans.
It grows longer every year.
The anger, injustice, & frustration grow as well.

Bad GI flare & someone snarks about how I'm late.
For an *optional* training.
Sir. I've dealt with 10 unpleasant bowel movements this morning.
Please don't be the 11th.

Ruby Bridges was 6-years-old when she stepped into the history books. Bravely accompanied by her mother, she was the first Black child to desegregate an all-white school in the South. It was not long ago…
Today is her birthday. She is still with us. She is 72. Happy birthday, Ruby Bridges 💜

I can't believe I didn't notice a theme that's been present since the start of the book: nobody wants to do anything.
No one wants to fight this war. No one wants to be king. No one wants to be a hero. No one wants to help their addict boyfriend through recovery. They do it because they have to.

Made the mistake of ordering a delicious breakfast sandwich with avocado.
So- instead of savoring it- I am scrambling to finish before the avocado slices get warm & the egg gets cold.
Today's going to be real weird, I can feel it in my bones.

You're assigned to make Final Fantasy 17
You must use elements of prior FF games, but one per game and the source games' numbers have to add up to 17
You can have Cloud (7) playing blitzball (10), for example
You can use as many games as you want to reach that sum of 17
What do you combine?
