Gosh darn it lately.... Wherever I drop my location pin lately, I wind up here:

I mean.... Death lane sometimes seems preferable. Never have I been so functional, stressed and annoyed all at ONCE.

At least I don't got one of these along:

I'm talking about a really terrible parent who needs a book in order to deal with a supremely easy to fix behavior. Gah.

I bet Hemlock TOTALLY soothes the soul.

Dang it my mommy is like so stressed out herself, she has no time to help me. I tell her all my problems., she gets stressed, and then she says she has to go teach and i am like NO ONE got tea, and we are both more stressed.

I gotta go to Walmart momentarily. No desire, but it must be done.

Yup here I go again:

No offense and I love the sentiment, but those pictures make me anxious?

Anyone else? I have had them at various employers and like, I always look at them and go YEAH that IS EXACTLY HOW I FEEL. WHY YOU BE REMINDING ME HOW BAD IT WILL BE TO FALL?

Okay the mistress of the Dark Nicotinic arts should NOT feel this way. I just mixed two flavors and well, I'm JUST gonna go. Then medbox and that review and the rest of the day is MINE.

This reminds me of the annual meetings one company I worked for, and their selection of MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKERS who'd be part of the event.

One year, it was a woman who failed to reach the top of Everest. Twice.
Message clear? "sometimes, you have to give up...or else you die".

Another year, it was the guy who had to saw off his own hand with a rusty pocketknife.
Message? Not quite as clear - possibly it was "yes, we know your goals are really difficult to achieve".

SAW arm off guy is AWESOME. LOL. I read his 'book" (not sure if it was ghostwritten or what.)

I think the message is: "There are times you really have to suffer to stay alive!!!" I mean, that dude had some fortitude. I mean, not even "Do I choose to like, have someone cut off my hand so I can live," but "Can I slowly, painfully and also using leverage to break off the bones after I have been drinking my own pee for 3 days, or should I just die?"

Maybe the first chick was, "Failure is okay." Which is also true and honestly, there are a TON of mountaineer dilettantes who want to climb Everest. Apart from this one ladder part, and the altitude you are basically walking up a very tall hill. It's NOT HARD. Cold. maybe bur I bet *I* could do it.

So it's like, "You, our one of your team members are going to constantly suck at all times!! Go forth and perform!!!"

LOL I wish I would have been there. I would have had so many questions during it, I would be asked to leave.

Thing about Everest though, is that end run being deceptive is sometimes what kills people.
They're low on oxygen, they've been planning this for a year, they paid a lot of money, so they make a bad decision and continue towards the summit after the "cutoff time" - and then they die.
I think the top 3 reasons are avalanche, falling, and "not turning back when you were supposed to".

"Into Thin Air" is a pretty decent book...

And yeah - Aron Ralston WAS a good presenter. I had a photo with him, and I can't find it!!!

I'm pretty good at self-deception. I bet I could do it SUCCESSFULLY.

I once went on a hike with not enough water (there wasn't enough in the ocean) and like Peanut M&Ms which were like tiny nuggets of GOLD (until that moment I hated them;) It was a very logm hike and I was in the middle of a very long detox when I told my husband we were going. I think he was so tired of hearing me groan in bed, he was like WHATEVER.

He was dubious it was mid summer. We brought water but it was further than we realized. It was to (to add insult to injury) like a freaking.... 2 miles more than it should be to see the "covered bridge."

The pics made it look like you could frolic across the bridge, go under the bridge etc. We just sort of stopped. There was no more trail. Then we noticed a small brown arrow sign pointing across a HUGE ravine that said "covered bridge." It was one. You almost needed binoculars but yea.

Arizona can be such a c:censored:t sometimes. Never go there. I might have folded and required air lifting out but there were the peanut M&Ms. So like, uh, yeah I staggered on out an the husband said later he did not know how. Me neither. I just treated me like the covered bridge and said, "Anna, you are so much better than you actually are, like that dang bridge."

I also ate Peanut M&Ms for like, MONTHS after that.

LOL OMG this is cheering me up I just found out (unfortunately) that some training on whistleblowing had been hastily assigned to me via my HOME EMAIL. I did it.

They are gonna make me whistle blow this one. Oh boy, how very much I CANNOT wait.

Dear god.
