Pearl, my chihuahua, passed suddenly Saturday morning with no suffering. We called her the drama queen and joked that she was the only one who didn't know she was tiny, and for that matter, a dog. She saw me through a divorce. She saw C through moving around due to my job, when she was his only friend. She was my alarm of anything out of the ordinary and companion to my whole family. She had a huge heart for only a few people that she considered her family, and her heart was only matched by her attitude. Fare well Drama Queen. You were a good friend and will be missed.
For those over in Supernatural, I still haven't seen the premiere, but will watch in the next few days, when things feel a little better, and then be back in thread. Thanks also to the buffistas who have already reached out to me. I treasure you more than you will ever know.
LA Theatre types - my friend Mike's theatre is looking for a TD [link]
If I could get some of the lovely
it's nothing, everything is normal
~ma tomorrow, that would be great. Thank you!
If there's ~ma to spare after Jilli gets heaps of it, some standardized-test-fu~ma around 8am est tomorrow would be fantastic. Some good-outcome~ma tomorrow for DH as he deals with a co-worker who threw him under the bus today would be even better.
OK - Senior editor thinks a new title for my book is essential to get it accepted by committees. I've described the book in Great White Way, so suggestion would be very welcome.
Friday morning (not sure what time) in Orlando, FLA, my BiL will be at a job interview. He's been out of work since retiring from USMC, about 3 years, which has stressed my sister out a lot. This is the first interview that doesn't involve a job in the Green Zone or Afghanistan. Please, some of the patented Buffista Job~ma that he gets this well paying job. Thank you!!
I'd like to ask for some good surgery ~ma tomorrow afternoon PST. My MiL is going in for brain surgery tomorrow. We're hoping that the tumor is as operable as they think it is. Everyone is a little worried here, but also hopeful.
Sending good vibes, Burrell.
Releasing the ma that I was using. Plane trip a success. At 2 1/2 hours into the ORD to HNL leg, i started a panic attack, but nothing went full blown. My ride from the airport picked me up with a paddle board tied to the car and within an hour of landing in HNL, I was in the Pacific. Special thanks to dcp for suggestions that saved my sanity and Amy for promising that I'd arrive safely.
My book is back before the boards and committees under consideration for publication. "Please say yes" ma, please.
Thanks for the Job~ma for my BiL interview on Friday. My sister finally responded with this:
It went great...the company is meeting Tues & Wed in Washington to finalize the contract with the gov't. If they are awarded the deal, the VP that interviewed Dan said he was 99.99% sure he would get the job. We will know on Friday! Thanks for thinking of us !!!
Before I release the ~ma, can we shift it to: Unknown-Company-getting-the-contract-so-my-brother-in-law-can-get-a-job~ma? (wow, that's a mouthfull)!
Thank you!!
