Go back far enough, and you can see me and Cass!
It's like a voodoo picture, you post it and I am living in Portland! Presto. Though there is no darling Lilybean to play with here so I will have to get myself to Seattle soon, as well.
beth, take care of that finger. I hope it heals quickly. Dinner sounds fabulous.
I got rid of a ton of books before I moved. Actually I got rid of a ton of everything. But I wasn't smart enough to do anything but just take them to the local African-American Alliance thrift shop because they were the nicest and actually took donations. So they got all my stuff which should bring them in a hefty amount of money.
Mom is leaving China soon. She'll be back around 5:30 (board time) tomorrow afternoon. A little safe and comfortable travel~ma flung into the universe would be good, she's feeling a little under the weather and that can't be a fun way to fly around the world.
Such a tough day today. Had a training on how to fight the alleged "Protect Marriage Amendment" and pitched a bitch with a dial-a-ride driver. He could not find the place and was gonna charge me to take me back.
I...made him rethink that position.(Not proud that I flipped out, but impressed that I kept my invective at network-TV strength despite being a frequent HBO viewer.) He would've died waiting for those two dollars, too.
The training was good, though. Just more work than it needed to be, like everything I do.
Next time I get stressed, though, must avoid that thought, as it contributed to my upset.
It *did* work, though... ambivalent about how much more people respond to my weakness than to my strength.
ow ow ow owie ow. tonight seems like the night for finger injuries -- i just burned my finger while lighting candles. currently icing it -- well, holding a bag of frozen berries on it, since i had no ice cubes. the bag leaked and got berry juice on my walls. (no, i can't explain how it ended up on the walls. it just did, somehow.)
Guess what? Someone found my wallet on the street and returned it, completely intact. Holy shit. Good people do exist.
Granted I already canceled the credit cards, but still!
No more finger injuries.
My sister just called me. She's pregnant. I am speechless. Speech. Less.
Kristin, that's awesome! Even if the cancelling was a PITA, better to be safe than sorry.
Cass, if I remember your sister's situation, that does not seem like the thing to be doing right now. Oy.
Holy shit! Cass, that's...um. Wow. Are you okay?
Cass, if I remember your sister's situation, that does not seem like the thing to be doing right now. Oy.
Yeah. You remember correctly...
I am baffled, boggled and not surprised. Of course when she got pregnant with the nephlet it was in much worse circumstances so I am certain I will love being an aunt again.
Fuck.
I am tempted to call my parents just to hear stepmom rant, or see if she just bites her lip. Well and I need to call them anyway.
And glad you found your wallet, Kristin. That must be such a relief.
Yay for your wallet, Kristin!! Yay!
