You'd never make it. I'd rip your spine out before you got half a step. Those little legs wouldn't be much good without one of those.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

It is very nice, and you picked a great time to induge yourself , because you get two thing for you ( the print and the church) plus something for the community ( the church) .

I think the hardest thing as an adult in US at this point is figureing out what you need vs what you want, and then figureing out whihc wants are good wants ( good for you , give the most bang for the buck, make more people happy) , which wants are worth waiting for ( until you have the cash) and which wants are lottery wants.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I don't need it, but it's beautiful

Just focus on this. Especially if you could afford it. We have to have stuff we don't "need."

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs

Thanks guys. I do love it. I have a feeling art may end up being my downfall, but it's a good downfall as these things go, I think. I may change my mind when I'm 80 and still working.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I may change my mind when I'm 80 and still working.

Open a gallery when you are 75. That can be your job into your 80s.

FWIW, my grandmother worked on into her 80s, taking care of old people. She did this not because she could not afford to retire, but because she was strong, healthy and liked to keep moving. Until she hit 90, she never seemed old to me.

I should like very much to emulate her.

Who's a good little cancer-free cocker spaniel? Is it Dallas? I think it is.

Good girl, Dallas. No cancer? Cookie!

Birthday fabulous. Racing really fabulous. Earache of the suck, but gone now.

Skimmed the week (after shamelessly resucking for my birthday wishes cause they were lovely, thank you all) and am certain I missed things.

Also burning kleenex in the fireplace and calling it HomeHazMat work is really not so very amusing that it makes up the for the allergies, but it still amuses. Lots of tissues going up in flames... Why must the pretty city try to kill me with plant sex?

Pfft. Remember, Ozzie knows where you live.

I have a massive Bruise of Unknown Origin (BOU!) on my ankle. Are you sure you haven't already told him where to find me?

Love the pics, Robin! Happy, pretty people!

ITA, which is very different from "ita," who I'm agreeing with.

What is even happening?

I loaded the page wrong, or loaded the page twice, or whatever. At any rate, whatever I did made me jump over a lot of stuff, and there's no way to get it back that doesn't involve more effort than is currently at my disposal, because there's not enough GRONK in the world, today.

That said...

It's benign. Sooooooooooo relieved. So very very relieved.

YAY! I'm so so so happy for you and Dallas, Trudy.

Also?

Robin and the WBBF are even cuter together than I'd imagined. I've seen pictures of Robin, but never of the WBBF. Thanks for linking that here, Robin.

Finally, and in conclusion, I'd finally trained myself not to type "Lee" and to stick to "Perkins" and what happens?

move out and draw fire

Me, I'm going with Leperkins, kind of like leprechaun.

After some protest, Mallory went down for a hella long second nap (despite the landlord's daughters blasting their stereo and screaming) and I've run out of things to do while waiting for him to get up so we can go swimming. This is a new and interesting situation.
