That sounds like excellent advice, j, wherever she's getting her inspiration from. Yay for good days, especially when you need and deserve them so much.
Reynolds, I'm a dangerous-minded man on a ship loaded with hurt. Now, why you got me chatting with your peons?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
J, I'm one of the least woowoo-ey people around, and I agree with every word.

Our wings are not tired.
Well, Woo's my middle name so I say Woo & Hoo! Staying focused on the future sounds like the best plan.

Very good woo, juliana. I'ma agree with everything she said. And I'm not big on pitching woo.

And it feels like I'll never, ever get the chance to just curl up with a book for the fun of it again ever in my life. At least not till I'm very, very old.
It won't be that long. First, as you note, you'll have that time between 8-11 to yourself. (That's when I wrote the first book. Also at lunchtime at work.) And as Laura notes kids get more independent as they get older and don't need the constant engagement.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Yay for pretty good days, Juliana!
I think I need to start making lists and plans so I can feel a bit more in control of things. Lists/plans can be dangerous for me when I expect too much of myself and then get frustrated over falling short, but OTOH I need them at times like this when I look at my life and am overwhelmed by the sheer number of things that need to happen. If I start writing things down, it seems less chaotic and scary, and helps me sort out my priorities.

Has anyone heard from Polter Cow recently? I've seen his LJ a couple of times, where he's much involved with Veronica Mars, but I'm wondering how his life is in general.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Huh. It's past midnight. I'm now officially 25.
Doesn't feel much different than 24, yet. Mostly, tired. Time for bed, I think. Maybe I'll feel more 25 in the morning.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Happy Birthday, Hil!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Happy birthday, Hill!
