Back from unplanned darkness due to moving the computer (AGAIN) and lack of adequate coax cable issues. I really missed this place.

I need those patented Buffista job vibes for Hubby tomorrow. He's got an interview at a place very likely to hire him, but hey, all the good vibes one can get.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
My papa (father's dad) is getting better and stronger. My mom called early this morning to tell me that her dad, (my grampa) has lung cancer. It has matasticized (I know I didn't spell that right). He lost forty pounds in the last two months.
I don't think there is a lot of time. My mom and my aunts are taking turns taking FMLA time to stay with him so he can stay in his own house.
I'm going to try and get home so I can hang out with him while he's lucid, because I think all they can really do is pain management.
This is the thing that sucks so much about being three thousand miles away from home.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Good vibes for the doggy please.
I'm taking her to the vet tomorrow to have some bumps removed.
I haven't talked about this at all since I'm trying to see it as just something that has to be done, but I'm beginning to be concerned.

Our wings are not tired.
I seek the effective Buffista jobma vibes. My largest client is having their big board meeting 4:15 EST today to approve programming expenditures for the entire year. They have accounted for about half of my total income for the past few years so it is very important. Any lighting of candles, saying of prayers, or other Buffista vibing is truly appreciated.

As opposed to my very gray status as of late, as work and people suck the life from my being, I will be completely dark this weekend - away to the country for R&R.

And we will call it... "This Land."
I will be intermittently dark (like a quasar, except not) for the next couple months as the temp agency and the freelance work try to eat me alive in an ironic turn-about of my employment worries... feel free to take whatever jobma you wish from that.
