I walk. I talk. I shop, I sneeze. I'm gonna be a fireman when the floods roll back. There's trees in the desert since you moved out. And I don't sleep on a bed of bones.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.

Thanks for the house~ma.

My broker just called with the news that they accepted my offer for the house.

Through hyperventilating for the moment, anyway. I'm releasing the house ~ma back into the wild.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

Going very gray for the next little bit, as I'm starting a new project. Email addy good.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I am completely in awe of the Buffistas at the moment. I just received the most amazing package in the mail, filled with tons of Lush products, from everyone as a thank you for the basket I sent to the F2F. I am overwhelmed and have no idea what to say, so I will simply say thank you. I feel honored to know such amazing people.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

I'm really being a hog with all the ~ma lately, but I need some more. Any recovery~ma flung to PA would be wonderful. My father had an accident cutting the grass on Saturday and managed to shatter his kneecap and break his tibia in 3 places. Yesterday's surgery to repair everything went well, but he will be mostly bedridden for the next 2 months. If he can't put weight on his leg after that, we're looking at another hospital visit for a knee replacement.

t looks skyward

Enough, please. I'm tired.

Our wings are not tired

I'm going to be in Seattle from June 23rd to the 28th. I want to play with Buffistas. I'm pretty much coming up just to hang out and have a good time, no other reason.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Interview~ma for 3 p.m. Central time, please. I'm going for a job I really, truly want and would really, truly be fantastic at.
