Since meara's salary~ma is all taken care of, I'm modifying it into hunting-for-a-new-place~ma and sending it eastward toward sj and TCG. And, since we're all sharing pictures and stuff, do you have any from your trip to visit your best friend and her babies?
Suzi, I got it, and then my brain got fried wrestling with the HR website at the university. But I'm all swoony at the prospect!
And, Maria, it's so good to see your pixels, and even several weeks later it is sweet as can be to drink in your eloquent imprecations against the ex-bosses. Fuckweasels. Did I mention that one of them, after sitting there in the firing and never opening his mouth, hovered around my desk while I cleaned up and took down pictures of Matilda, trying to catch my eye and tell me how sorry he was? I wouldn't let him. Fuck that. He already thought I was distant, and he'd already fired me; how else was he going to punish me for not giving him the satisfaction of showing what a Nice Guy he really was? Fuck him.
In less vindictive news, Matilda likes her new xylophone. Which lives at Nana's house, not here.
Oh, God, what a horrible crosspost. Scrappy, I'm so very sorry. I've been thinking about and vibing peace and comfort to your niece and your family ever since you first posted. I can't even imagine how broken her parents must be right now. All my love to all of you.
Cool JZ - not a rush, just wanted to make sure the message got to you. Glad you are swoony.
Byron, Seamus, and ND are all sound asleep at the foot of the bed. ND sprawled out to pet the kitties and passed out along with them. It's pretty damn cute.
Oh, Scrappy. Peace to you and your family. Wow.
Kristin, that sounds nightmarish to deal with. Yikes. Some kind of consultant is probably the way to go, though.
Yay on the weight loss, Jessica! Much less yay on the sinus ick.

I don't even know how to say anything beyond that right now, but those are most heartfelt {{{}}}s.
Amy, your comment when juxtaposed with my most recent one is cracking me up.

Jessica, I'm sorry you're sick, but that is great news about your weight loss! Go you!
Oops. Hee.

In our house it usually requires dog consultation, of a snuffling and tail-wagging variety.
