She replied, "Dude. Fall back."
Dude, I love the whole Fall back thing. I needed the extra hour. Getting up with the sun out is a good thing too. Not that we are on any actual schedule or anything.
Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Welcome back, Laura!

All is well that ends in pizza.
My take on DST is making the timekeeping (of man-invention) somewhat closer to nature/God/Gaia/etc. In fact I think we should have more divisions, set it back an hour more for July and August.
There's still too much sunlight before you have to get up in the summer.

I'm really going to hate 5 pm, though. I hate it getting dark before I leave work. HATE IT.
Eating and then running errands. Finally getting rid of old vacuum. Yay.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I'm so glad you and yours are fine, Laura (except for Evil SIL, boo sss), and that, despite the stress and the worry, you can still be happy and thankful for peanut butter and bananas and rich starry nights.
I have had a busy morning - Emmett's room cleaned and vacuumed, the hallway swept, sink and stovetop scoured, laundry sorted, stains doused in Zout and left to contemplate their sins and await the great Cleansing, all clothing gathered up off the floor, sniff-tested for non-visible filth, and sorted or folded, living room vacuumed, kitchen table semi-cleaned, and in the middle of it I rewarded myself by reading this marvelous book, which is funny and wicked and occasionally mildly blasphemous, but in an oddly orthodox and tender way that I don't think even Nilly would object to (it actually made me think of Nilly, often).
Brought forward from the last thread: Trudy, if you want some of that brocade, let me get it for you now. There's only one bolt, and it's a discount exotic fabrics store, so once it's gone, it's likely gone forever, and I doubt this one single bolt will last till next May. And Sophia, yes, the Hello Kittyness of it is subtle. I'm going to see if I can borrow my mom's digital camera and take a picture of the pattern this afternoon.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
That is the most amazing penis cake ever.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
AUUGHHHH! NOT nice! Not nice at all! It looks like someone castrated the Big Red Rock Demon.
Laura, it's nice to have you back.
