i mean it this time

This whole piling out of GA thing is not going that badly right now; we gave ourself tons of leeway and are now at the point where we want to leave tomorrow but seemingly won't be able to do so until it's too late in the day for it to be pointful, so we're looking at doing the driving to Tampa part on Monday morning. Monday is my birthday, but lol, I spent my last two birthdays in FL for no damn reason and so this whole thing is mostly just funny. I hope to god my in-laws didn't get me anything this year. M, at least, grasps how much I need more stuff in my life right now. :/

I am all stress and rage rn, but I'm trying to hold tight and we're really not so far from done with this place now, and I'm glad. It's weird, leaving all this lulling convenience. We are past the point of being able to cook much and the guy who delivered our lovely Vietnamese dinner exhorted me to complain to our landlord about the tilted bits of concrete that leave us all wading through two or three inches of water to get to the steps whenever it rains, and we are moving, so of course it is fucking raining like woah.

I think you're wrong about truth. Humanity might be restricted to experiencing it as contradictory fragments, but that doesn't stop there being an underlying unity. (Cf. the wave-particle duality - and that's hard science.) Which is why traditional religion calls it "mystery" rather than confusion.

Anyway, rejecting simple answers is a sign of maturity. So I hope you are enjoying/have enjoyed your birthday. And send the rain our way - England is heading towards drought.

ahahaha but I used to study this shit. 'hard science' is not necessarily reality. (FWIW I'd always understood 'mystery' in the religious sense to represent a shared religious experience - eg. Christian communion - rather than having any real overlap with how the word's usually used in speech).

I can tell what you mean about the drought! I am getting ridic dehydrated over here :(
