I'm home. Good to have family. Sister and I share an appreciation for imaginary internet friends.
Viewing is on Fri. and service on Sat.
Have had a really good time remembering with my sisters and parents.

We signed the contract on a house this morning. It's an old place which needs a bit of work (so we aren't moving in for a couple of months), with a lovely, huge south-facing garden. We're psyched, despite the whole thirty-years-of-debt thing.
Oh, and today is Benno's 10 month birthday. Double figures!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Going dark grey for a couple weeks. No doubt by the time I get back, there will be 750 users, about 100 of which with newly torn assholes.
Be good.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
I just got my grades too. I didn't fail my first semester of college! I'm quite thrilled; I really didn't think I did half so well as I actually did. I got an A, two B's, and a C plus. Very, very pleased.

Mostly lurking...
I'm going to be going dark gray, if not completely black for the next week or so. Leaving in a couple hours for the family reunion in TN. Should be loads of fun. No one wants me to worry about a thing. You know I still will, but it's nice that they're chipping in to help with stuff.
So, if I don't get to say it again, everyone have a very happy holiday!

I have a job interview in an hour--a part-time unit coordinator position on the labor/birth/delivery floor of a major Boston hospital. Good vibes are gratefully accepted!

I'm going dark over tonight and the weekend, visiting my sister. I won't be able to breakdown the Firefly previously on until Sunday.

Went to ENT this morning and just got back from the hospital where I had cortisone injected into my sinuses. What fun! Looks like my nasal problems will be chronic. Oh Joy!
The doctor did this procedure for me right away so that I will be able to enjoy my turkey dinners next week. (For this I am actually very thankful.)

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
To all my LA buds that made plans for me this weekend, especially to perkins & to Scrappy:
We are, in fact, going away after all, so I won't make it to Firefly tonight or to TTT tomorrow. But thanks for inviting me. And ita, I will rely on the trusty Tivo to make it possible for you to tape Firefly for me, and will gladly repay you with a good hot meal when you are once again mobile.
Bye!
