Dragonfly, did I dream you performing ballet? You are very light and dainty on your toes, dear. Lovely. When I was young, I rode horses. Now I am an old lady, but there is still a lot of 
to be found.

I don't want to go to stinky work... It's early in the morning and it is cold and dark outside and my work is stinky and last week I had to clean bird doo off of these mirrored shelves. And I asked for a raise, but I wasn't taken very seriously. I guess that's because of the circumstances-- I brought it up rather informally. But poo. 
I know no job is perfect, but when you know you're better than your job, it's disheartening.
Some day my career will come,
Publishing will be such fun!!!
But today I have to labor away
Retail is so stinky!!!

D'you reckon it would actually be possible to make a couch out of blue goo, like silly putty or something?

Hopefully, weird things won't get stuck in the couch.
Today wasn't TERRIBLE. It was survivable, and had I not gone to work, my muse wouldn't have dropped by. I have a humorous article idea now. YAY!!!

That's nice, Miss D... you go get a pen now and a piece of paper and get it all down.
*Finished Thog's loincloth. Gets up weakly from her rocker and hobbles over to him with it.*
Here, sweetcheeks. Gird your loins! hehehe! Hope you like it. I always knit a hex into my work. Yours is that you will never experience lower back pain. Live it up!
