On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I just gave my landlord 30 days notice.

Meep. I'm moving in less than three weeks.

Was only cat napping fitfully as opposed to sleeping, so I bit the bullet and made the call. E-mailed the girl I am taking over the place from as well. Need to look into moving co's now.

I suspect I can probably take a nap and actually sleep now that I took the leap of faith.

Yeah, much better. Still a bit daunting with the disorginization and other factors.
So glad to hear that the environment has improved today, Daniel. I hope that the trend continues in this fashion.
Date fun.
So nice to see good date-age things. Do we have plans for date numero cinco*?

Cats are driving me bonkers. They want to walk on the laptop keyboard. Not to get anywhere. Just to piss. me. off. And get attention. The next bit of attention they get might involve canned air blasts.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Go Cass! Change is good--but hard. We decided to move from NY to LA, and were here in five weeks and we have never regretted it. I bet this will shake your life up in a fabulous way, which you totally deserve.

Cassie, I am sooooooooooooooooooo excited for you.

Our wings are not tired.

Hey Cass. Brendon is going to be in San Diego on March 7th. Will you be around?

Very excited for you Cass. The 2 month rental sounds perfect for taking some time to find the right place. Whee!

move out and draw fire

Much envy of Cass, for getting Portland, and Portland, for getting Cass.

Spring is springing here. It's nice. Fruit trees are all covered with softy pink flowers, bulbs are sending up green shoots. Birds are here, for the only time during the year. Magpies are nest-building. (I know this because one dropped a stick onto my car today).

This somehow tempers the $100 oil change I just got.

Thanks everyone! I was doing the emotional equivalent yesterday of biting my nails over making that call. And then just realized that it's hard to leave places you've loved behind but sometimes it is the best thing you can do for future happiness.

I think so too. I feel good about it but a little startled realizing how soon it all will (so long as this apartment works out) be happening.

So sweet. And, you know, this opens up Portland as available for Buffista visitage. With a comfy guest room and everything. t crosses fingers for people visiting

Yep. Brooke's memorial is the 4th and I just remembered that my sister's birthday is the 8th so we'll likely do a family dinner the Friday after. Would be great to see Brendon.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Matt called from milwaulkee this am - talking about the temp rising to -2. I know it isn't that cold here - or even close , yet today the cold is sitting in my bones. I have to go to work, and will hop in the shower soon. I hope that drives the chill out enough to keep it out...
