The folks on the GBACG list kvell about that book.

Raq, you might not be far off in thinking that that quake felt worse than the ones you remember from CA. I'm a native Californian and can get blasé about quakes. But when I read about the devastation of quakes elsewhere, I remember that besides being in a more developed country, California is constantly upgrading its seismic building codes. And I think that makes a key difference in how an earthquake feels and how much damage one sustains. I'm glad you and yours are okay.
I'm lingering in bed. I've been having a very hard time with motivation lately due to issues that have been going on for a year and a half. I have a very hard road ahead of me and it gets so overwhelming that I just kinda bury my head under the covers. But I have to try hard to be logical. I'm not going to get out of this hole by hibernating. I have to attempt to climb.
So tucking yourself amongst the stacks of books on your floor is a decent survival strategy.
Woo! Just because we've never had an earthquake doesn't mean one shouldn't be prepared.
We had a short 3.6 while I was home. It's the first earthquake I remember experiencing.
Unfortunately, the books in the house are in the fall-on-you bookshelves. Fortunately, we were on the second floor, where there wasn't much to fall on us. We'd just have collapsed down into the bedrooms downstairs...
I need to stop looking at apartments. We can't move for...um...9 1/2 more months.
Hey. Pink got married Saturday.
{{Cass}} I don't think I've expressed my sympathy, and even if I have an extra hug is always good. Peace to you and may your family remember the truce for awhile.
I have been really productive today. It is a pleasure to look at my list for the week and see most of it crossed off. DH helped me put the xmas stuff away in the storage place. he asked me if it made me sad. But it doesn't. One of the Really good things about Christmas is I know how to put it away, and where to put it away ,and I know it can stay put away until at least the day after Thanksgiving. There are so many things that refuse to stay put away, or are needed when you thought you didn't need it, but christmas stays in the box.
Today's Kara: "Mommy, you know what your biggest job as a mommy is?"
Me: "What?"
Kara: "To love me more than anything!"
My mom told me the same thing when I was calling her at all hours from my parent's house in the last couple of weeks. And I am 34...
just because I think you might need more punctuation today.
Thanks, Raq. It's nice to have shoulders to lean on. I am doing okay today but every once in a while, I crash for a little while.
Peace to you and may your family remember the truce for awhile.
I hope they will, beth. I spoke with both my parents today and they are doing okay. They have their house back to themselves as the last person left just after I did yesterday. They value their privacy as much as I do so this is good for them. And they have all four of the Goldens now who will lavish as much love on them as they can stand with tails wagging.

I am dyeing my hair today.
Blue!!!
Good news for Buffistas is that paper doesn't compress much. So tucking yourself amongst the stacks of books on your floor is a decent survival strategy.
And since we tend to be curled up with our books more often than your average bear already...

Linger for a bit (specify how long) and then get out of bed and plan your next step in the climb?

I'm going to go see Brokeback now.
I haven't been specifying, but I've managed to be a wee bit productive. And this amotivational depression has been so bad for the last couple weeks that any productivity is a victory. I'm productive at work. I just have a hard time being productive on my own behalf.
I'm glad you're getting some "me" time, Cass.
I'm burning some comp CDs for friends but my internal drive just gave an error. I think this confirms my suspicion that Apple did the warranty replacement with a drive that was inferior to the one I had before. Dagnabthem. Restarting.

I don't think my mother ever told me that. But she did. All of us.
{{{{{Cass}}}} More hugs to you.
Good luck to CJ with tryouts.

Raq, I am glad to hear you are all safe.
