Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!'

Happy birthday, Matilda! I have very distinct memories of when she was born, because I bought her birth gift in Galway.

Today I am doing absolutely nothing except watching the Top Chef marathon and installing my mother's new iMac. And possibly packing the absolutely ridiculous number of clothes in this room.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I'd say so.

Yay for SA heading to Europe and not to jail. (Despite what the republicans will tell you, Europe is actually better.)

The status is NOT quo.

Happy Birthday, Matilda!!!

Yay Stephanie for the doula/midwife plan!

P-C, what they said.

Omnis, we have made that observation of ourselves many-a-time over the past few years.

Blah. Am so friggin' tired that it's a miracle I can keep my eyes open at all. I'm operating on about 5 hours of sleep, but my hard work did pay off: I finally finished the first pile o'essays of the year. I've taught two classes so far today and have two more to go. Have I mentioned how much I despise 45-minute periods? Then it's off to the grocery store and home to pack for the ninth grade overnight.

Have I mentioned I'm tired? Like many of you?

I want nap time, dammit.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I mostly pickle radishes (white vinegar, rice vinegar, salt, sugar, water, let sit overnight in fridge) and use them as sandwich toppings. But I doubt that would be a solution if the problem is "too bitter."

Nothing makes you more eager to leave your own country quicker than a trip through jail. And bureaucratic hell.

I don't doubt it. On the plus side, if your family is anything like mine, it gives them the chance to say "sorry, she's fled the country" every time you get a phone call.

And bureaucratic hell.

Hmm, I don't know that you'll escape that in the UK. But at least they'll have different accents! Seriously, though, I'm glad that you've gotten everything straightened out on this end.

Hm. Well, it might be a different sort of bitter, with a little sweet in them. I might try that. Tom will eat them if I don't end up liking them, so there's nothing to lose.

Different kind of bureaucratic hell. I'm very eager to get back.

I think you can slow-cook radishes in a little bit of butter and salt. It's a twist on french, to cook them down.
