Yay Aims! So nice to have reason to NOT to say "Fuck cancer".
Kaylee: So how many fell madly in love with you and wanted to take you away from all this? Inara: Just the one. I think I'm slipping.

Compassionately intolerant
Wow, I really am coasting up to my 50th. So much less has happened in the last 5 years than in the previous. Ought to do something about that.
Lemme see:
- Entered into a relationship with the wrong fella
- Survived mono at 44...not fun
- took a job for the sake of a job that, while stable, ended up being a bad plan
- Became the doggy lama, which I love
- Ended the not!smart relationship
- Reclaimed my given name...an important transition
- Saved some hearts
- Became more comfortable and more confident in my work
- Developed perhaps the best, most significant friendship of my life Considered shuffling the mortal coil but that same friend saved me
- Gained weight and discovered I need to permanently break up with wheat and corn

hip deep in pie
finished masters
bought house
went to Washington and NY and met Buffistas
got new job
taught myself to make pie
There are some significant things there, but I don't feel measurably different. I think I spend more time dwelling on what hasn't changed than what has.
