"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Grant-ma results part un: Yaaaayyy! Just heard back today from our first (and major) foundation -- they've granted our full request amount! This covers damn near everything not already dealt with by individuals, etc. Okay, not everything. But near enough where I can say, yes, we're doing the program next year. Yaaaaayyy!

So thanks, Buffistas for the -ma. Grant-ma part deux we should hear about in January.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

The Empress and I are heading for le hospital for (we think) the impending arrival of Princess Emeline Jayne Conat, Miracleborn I.

News as it, ya know...happens and junk.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Miraclesprog update!

Emma will be out in a couple hours! Or, as MM put it, a "couple L.A. hours," since hours take longer out there.

The Empress is in "station plus one," meaning she is "one hundred percent effaced, fully dilated."

Aims is doing fine now that she's hopped up on drugs.

Emma is totally ready to come out, peoples. Send out the welcome-to-the-world-ma.

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

This week we hear whether the show my BF works on is renewed (which means another 6 months of work, a promotion and a raise) or not (which means unemployment). Another Season vibes, please!

A quick Miracleborn update:

Aimee has been trying very very hard, pushing and pushing, and Emeline's head just doesn't want to fit through that opening, so she's been sent in for a C-section.

Emma should be among us shortly.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I'll be going dark for the next two weeks while on vacation where I don't expect to have Net access (Caribbean cruise). See you when I get back!

All is well that ends in pizza.

Okay folks, ~ma request time again.

I just got a call from a recruiter who wants me to be one of two candidates presented to a company that's only a 30 minute drive away, all freeway.

It's a contract tech support/helpdesk/network position, and pays well, so any job~ma you can spare the next few days would be helpful.
