That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Hec, that just sucks. All kinds of ~ma to your friend.

Jessica, I love that you are a dork and you DO have a v. cute boy.

Yay, Tamara!!

After a day of internet issues, I finally have everything up and working again. Yay!! Seriously, being w/o the internets is Not Good. I rely on it way too much.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

We might need a quick Good News Audit:

I'm feeling the happiest and most accomplished and productive I have in years.

I'm going to two writers conferences in the next five weeks.

Barring unforeseen disaster, we should be out of credit card debt by the end of July.

Aww Hec that's just not good. Man!

Vibes and thoughts for all the sick pets.

Anyone want to give me a sort of usual 11th grade course list

Amy, don't know if this helps but this is what my soon-to-be 11th grader is taking: US History (AP), Psych (AP) (elective), English (AP), Chem (elective), Pre-Calc, Physiology (elective - and satisfies the stupid Health requirement). She took Spanish in middle school so her foreign language requirement is complete. Next year she'll only have to take 5 classes - US Govt or Econ, Calculus, Bio 3-4(AP), Literature (AP) and one other elective

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Thanks, Tamara! Couldn't find that middle "a" anywhere.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Oh David, that is horrible news. I came in here ready to spew bile about the complete suck-fest that was my commute home tonight, but I think that pales now.

Good News:

The theatre gave me a $1000 raise

My BFF's husband has been alcohal free for one month and they are back living together. He may just pull this together yet.

My mom's kitty, who was diagnosed with hyperthyroid, is doing much better.

My boss, whose position was eliminated is very happy with her new teaching job and has lined up a few consulting gigs to help make up the money. She seems so much happier, and I am glad, because she seems calmer

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I have lost 15 lbs.

The weather is beautiful right now, and I just spent an hour at the dog park.

I am seeing Wall-E this weekend.

Ooof, David. OTOH, kidney dialysis, while it seriously seriously sucks, is quite survivable. Sucktastic in the highest, but...

The good: I managed to get out of Indianapolis!

The better: It does not look like I will be spending the night in Minneapolis! Fingers crossed, of course, until the plane is actually off the ground and all, but the fact that I made it here, and even though my flight was delayed, still have enough time to be online? Is v. good.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I was just looking at some gorgeous sleeved bridal dresses today. They are custom, so more expensive than most of us can afford, but here you go: [link]

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

Okay. I have not lost any weight recently. (Though after the F2F I'm resolved to. And also to throw out my bras and buy new.)

But with all the animal stuff going on I have dragged myself off the floor and away from compulsively hugging the dog (Lucy thanks you) to say - did I ever mention that there's a bar in Chicago called Kuma's, that has a bear as it's emblem? I always think of you guys when I go past it.

Josie, Pico, Bear - good hunting.
