Here’s the most incredible story you’ll read today. A small plane with four people aboard crashes in a field. Another pilot witnesses it. That pilot happens to be flying a bunch of skydivers. They offer to jump to assist, are given permission. The skydivers happen to be EMTs. Everyone survives.

Skydivers alert emergency crews, assist after plane crashes near East Troy airport
Four people were aboard the single-engine plane when it went down in a cornfield near Carvers School Road in East Troy at about 1:30 p.m.

Accidentally bought whole beans instead of ground coffee for the office. Have now pushed my poor little grinder to its limit going through an entire 18-oz bag. Sorry, grinder.

I am perpetually crashing out about work and/or school because of this. I have found this tumblr post a useful encapsulation of Living in These Times:
A tumblr post by nitewrighter that reads: 

“Me: I don't get it. I thought was doing a lot better than was a few years ago. I'm like 10 times more on top of things than I used to be. How does everything feel terrible now?

The Tiny Me in OSHA-approved Hi-Vis Gear Who lives in my brain and pulls all the levers: Boss, it's the fascism. You're completely gunked up with cortisol due to the fact that your entire daily life is now underscored with a haunting awareness of the rapid erosion of your rights, dignity, and any and all social safety nets, and you're also bearing witness to the most vulnerable people immediately being persecuted. This creates a natural stress response that basically means you're going to continue having memory and organizational problems, as well as emotional imbalances.

Me: BUT I HAVE A BULLET JOURNAL AND I MEDITATE NOW.

Tiny OSHA Me: BOSS, THE FASCISM.

After 10.5 hours at jury duty I went to the nearest L stop, forgetting that boarding there would take me all the way around the Loop instead of straight north. Argh.

Anybody in Chicago got a windshield replacement recommendation. Some place local that maybe doesn't judge your old ass car? Gerber and Safelite won't do it because of the amount of rust around the frame right now. :-/

It has been a busy and challenging week with lots of ups and downs, and now I have to muster the energy to cook dinner and wash dishes and pack breakfasts and iron when I would rather listen to the cicadas and stare off into the middle distance.

This is the second time this year that I've seen a moment of change coming, only to realize that it had already passed without acknowledgement. It's a distinct variety of grief.

I think another lesson to take from the loss of both Dolly and Tim Curry is that neither of them took themselves seriously but they took the work dead serious that's the most important thing pour all of yourself into the craft but have fun and don't get an ego.

REMINDER! the word Grimoire (book of magic) comes from the Old French word grammaire, or grammar. The word "spell," like a magical incantation, comes from the Germanic "spel" which means "storytelling." Be careful with stories! They have power. And so do the people who tell them well

1) "Our in-person audition appointments are FULL. However, we can accept a tape from you." Translation: we're not interested. Submitted a tape anyway out of spite. 2) "At this time, callback offers have gone out; however, you are still in consideration for the production." This is a a lie. 1/2

Been on vacation this week. You know what's more enjoyable without time pressure/cognitive overload? EVERYTHING. LITERALLY FUCKING EVERYTHING. I'm currently anticipating a pleasant afternoon of degreasing the cabinets above my stove. Or maybe reorganizing my sock drawer. Or neither; who knows.

The washing machine had just a few minutes to go, so I sat down to take a quick look at handbags on Etsy. I need to replace an old favorite. Two hours later, I remembered the laundry. No more Etsy for me.
