I just finished my work for the night! So I came by to see how you all were. As much as I'd want to I can't just forget about all you boys and girls and leave you on your own

Reading both of you talk made me feel a little less worried about you, and I'm happy to read that disposition to keep on breathing. It doesn't mean much, but you girls have all it takes to deal with anything that may come, so yes, definitely, keep breathing, and just be.

's lovely cheese, I'll add that life is a bit like a carrousel. You know, the painted ponies go up, and then down, and then up again, and then down. And it goes round and round and there's nothing we can do, but we have to remember that the ponies will always go up again. Always.
Hug to you two ladies, and to Philoz too because that cheese was adorable.

I dunno where you posted that Camus thing, but I read it quoted by someone so I'll try to answer my thoughts on the matter.
More than riot, I think Camus is talking about activity, about action, about taking charge and DOING. Whether this action is a rebellion against the norms of society (like Meursault in The Stranger), or simply a mundane activity that is born out of our own will and choice, the point is that man has to act out of personal pursuit rather than societal pursuit.
You have to put Camus' work in the context of his time as well, since its rebelliousness (sp?) reflects ideas that seek to oppose catholic norms and fundamentals. We might not find his work as powerful now, but back then simply saying "f*ck you" towards the rules imposed by the church and the "good customs" was very hardcore.
tl;dr it doesn't matter if what you do is mundane so long as you're doing it because
you want to, because it gives a meaning to your life that you want, not anyone else.
Might be projecting my own train of thought into this, though, so take with a grain of salt too.
