Merriam-Webster hooked me up with some etymology that helped explain my mood yesterday, as "sun" and "standing" are two of my least favorite things.

I ate a salad. I'm kind of trying. I've also discovered that I am "responds to a total lack of control over the world with increasingly diligent flossing" years old.

Thought it would be worth mentioning over here that if you donate (or have already donated) $20+ to RAICES Texas by the end of this weekend and send me a screenshot of your receipt, I will send you any 8 oz. candle of your choosing. Please take me up on this, even if you donated earlier in the week, sending packages to people is one of the only things that makes me feel better outside of crying in movie theaters.
