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

It's gorgeous here. I have work to do, but at least I can sit on the deck and do it. Eventually. When I run out of internets.
News of me:
So I came home from the F2F to find that the AC was out, the dog was limping, and my dad spilled a cup of coffee on the laptop. Not exactly the stress-free homecoming I was hoping for before going back to work.
However, a strategy of ignore-it-and-it'll-go-away, otherwise known as "I can't fucking deal with this" appears to have worked on the computer and now also the AC. Not so much on the dog, unfortunately. I've upped her meds a bit and am hoping she'll shake it off. She could use some 'ma if anyone's got it to spare.
In better news, in conjunction with my sort-of promotion, I can haz raise! So that's nice. Now I can buy 10% more dog meds. Fix 10% more sibling's cars. Call 10% more HVAC repairmen (though hopefully now that one can wait awhile). But also maybe 10% more buffista or other travel? 10% more tattoos?
Seriously, y'all, this past six months has been the most crazy up and down financially. On the one hand, raise/bonus/Bush's blood money/raise. On the other, root canals, dog emergencies, blown car radiators, the threat of new computers and major household repairs, etc. This can stop any time. I am totally grateful that I'm stumbling into the good stuff as well as the bad. But the whiplash is getting old.

Doing the skipping-and-poking-head thing yet again, because according to the Buffista Calendar, today is DavidS' birthday.
Happy birthday, Hec! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Happy birthday to all y'all Cancerians! Suddenly, I know so many, but am a bit behind on the birthday greetings.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Happy birthday, David!
I just took a ridiculously long walk for no good reason, but topped it off with McDonald's, so I guess it's still a net negative, health-wise.

Happy Birthday, Hec!
Eeesh, Brenda! That's exciting news on the raise, but good grief! I'd back up everything on teh computer right quick, while you can...just in case...10% more travel sounds like "SEATTLE" to me, though. IJS.

Also, Yahoo mail is killing me right now.

Happy Birthday, Hec!
It's supposed to be hot today and is already warm. AB and I just got back from the farmers' market, where we got strawberries, basil, peppers, tomatoes, and Rainier cherries, and the library, where she got The Pigeon Wants a Puppy and I picked up a climate change book that will probably give me nightmares and the new Loretta Chase.
