Start saving your ~ma now, so at 1:15 Eastern time you can send it in one concentrated beam to Northern Virginia where my mom will be entering surgery. Thanks ever so.

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

Going dark until Monday as I'm off to a wedding in Vermont.
I'm already behind in...everything. I am never going to get caught up again.
Le sigh.

love's a dream you enter though I shake and shake and shake you
A whole heaping load of wayward-kitty-ma is needed in Somerville, as my sweet, afraid-of-his-own-shadow cat seems to have disappeared. The kicker? Last night he kept me awake with banging his ID tag around, so I took off his collar. If he's outside and lost, no one will know how to get in touch with me.

Kitty found, pitiful and covered in spiderwebs, in the basement. The landlord must have left the door open.
I can breathe again.

move out and draw fire
Grampa-ma needed, focused towards the Yakima, WA area. So maybe WA-ma. I'll skip the gory details, but despite the Yakima police and paramedics determining that Grampa needs urgent medical attention, he is refusing to let this happen. I don't know what the best outcome would be, but proof against fear and sadness would be good.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Well, I'm just about off to bed to get a good night's sleep before my exam. I'll catch up with you all afterwards.

Hey. New board.
Hey.
Would greatly appreciate all the homework~ma you people on summer vacation (and, for that matter, you people who aren't students) don't currently need.

Once again, Buffista ~ma proves its power. Within a couple hours of asking for it, Grampa was in the hospital being treated for dehydration, a hernia, and general crankiness. Now we can move to the next step of caring for him.
Thank you all! Releasing ~ma back to become exam~ma and homework~ma and whatever else is needed!

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Requesting some serious job-vibeage at half past one PST today. Nic has a phone interview, and we need it. Hoo boy, do we need it.

Another social casualty...
I apologize if this is seen as soliciting, and I ask the Stompies to please delete if it goes over the line.
I recently started working for a staffing firm in Orlando, Fl. It is an employer-pays firm, so people looking for jobs pay nothing.
If you are, or know anyone who is, looking for a job in Florida, please feel free to send your resume to me. We primarily staff professional and technical positions, and I can't promise that we will have any openings in your field, but I will do what I can to help. You can contact me at my work addy at kgessner at synerfac dot com.
I have been the recipient of much-needed job-ma on occasion, and, now that I am in a position to actually help, I would like to. (Also, we can help if you are an employer looking for good candidates.)
I apologize again if this steps over the line.
