My week in six letters

Birthday: "Thirty? Oh shit. When's my jackpot?"
Commute: "Late again. I curse train, feet."
Work: "Cooked production metrics means no raises."
Writing: "Stop. Start. Edit. Upload. Plan. Sleep."
Work again: "This job sucks. But what next?"
State of religion: "Finally to Judaism 101--another ex-Catholic?!"
Ambitions: "Fifty-five lives. One life a year?"
Work again: "High points: Dr. Pepper, co-worker snark."
Reminder for someone: "Missing a deadline isn't death sentence."
Thoughts about missed visit: "Want fruitcake. Want cuddles. Want connection."
Dating: "We're dating? Wanna play magician/assistant?"
Story ideas: "Alternate histories of love lost, found."
Phone: "Cab ride for phone costed $250."


Also, does anyone have any suggestions for local stores/gatherings I can go to find nice presents for holidays?
