Oh, that's cool.
You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

I hope you find some peace and calm in your break, Susan.
You're very welcome back here when you're ready.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
Any old fancy place you like at the Ferry Building.
Oh man. Good stuff.
Hec, I can't express how much the offer means. I feel like a dork saying thanks, but not right now. BUT once things lighten up a touch, I'll be over there. My office is not far from BART, so it would be an easy jump across the bay.

If I only had a brain...
My best Halloween moment last night came when I was having an interior monologue about "Where has the magic gone?"
Right then a deer came up the street. I shone my flashlight, and my son said "MOM! Haven't you ever heard of a DEER IN THE HEADLIGHTS?". So I turned it off. The deer went clickety-click up the hill, passed us, and went on about its deerly business.
That'll do.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
A few months ago, you were considering and/or talking to your NP about anxiety and ways of coping with it, weren't you? (I think you were, but anything that happened while I was pregnant is a weird blur because my brain wasn't functioning right.) It sounds like, between your father's death, the novel, your job hunt, and the normal grind of parenting, your anxiety levels are through the roof again. Can you talk to her again? Maybe see if there are new strategies for coping that will give you a fresh perspective?
Right now it's waiting until I get a job. The way our insurance is structured, it pays 60% of the costs of most counseling-type treatments, and the stress of putting the remaining 40% onto our gradually escalating credit card debt feels like it'd make my anxiety worse rather than better.
I hope you find some peace and calm in your break, Susan.
You're very welcome back here when you're ready.
Thanks, Hec. I really appreciate that.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Happy Birthday, Ginger!!!!

It'll be fun! I'm already looking forward to it.

Our wings are not tired.
It's good to read that you called your pastor. He sounds wise. I know when I get to an overwhelmed with life state (and it happens often) I have to take time off from the board. Not because of anything happening on the board, but just fact of life hours in the day issues. Like it or not, the board is a time suck and sometimes it stops being an option.
You'll be on the receiving end of my ~ma whether you are posting or not.
And my dear, you need not feel a need to speak for your husband. I wouldn't accept the task of speaking for mine.
