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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I am doing the part of my job that I fucking hate, and now I hear I might have been able to foist it off on to someone else! Next time...
Good news, Zmayhem!
But the truth is, music is more a part of my life than ever before, and it has nothing to do with the paying lessons. And you know, even if I weren't able to identify as a musician at all, it would be meaningless to my value as a human being.
It might be meaningless to your value as a human being, but it's still important to you. I'm just saying, don't feel bad for thinking about it.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Yay, Hec!

David, that is awesome. And I think your plan for managing the transition is probably spot on.
I myself will be spending the weekend trying to reacclimate and reassure the dog who was apparently kind of traumatized at being taken to my sister's for the week while I was away. And secondarily by my sister's Complete Failure to Maintain the Usual Schedule. Baby girl does not like change.
(Note: The outrage at the schedule thing is not coming from me, for the record. It's H's interpretation of the Looks that keep coming her way.
(Note the second: Pooh Case intentional.)

Because books.
That's excellent JZmayhem news.
ION, you will pry my convection oven from my cold dead hands. I've never had one before, but cookies that were supposed to take 7 to 9 minutes in the oven only took 4, and I baked two sheets at a time. And they're perfect!

Our wings are not tired.
I'm envious of the convection oven. If I buy this place and update the stove/oven, I'd seriously think about one.
God I just can't wait until this Giants game tonight. I already have two bottles of champagne chilling and it's only going to be ME here. This day is going to be sooooooo slow....

Note to people over the wall: melting pot vs. mosaic--very important difference, and London is a mosaic, and what you're describing in New York is also definitely not melting or melding.

Hec and JZ, I'm so pleased! Buy a good bottle of something for yourselves to celebrate (and ease the pain of whiny child.)
Grocery store was having GREAT deals today, and I managed to get everything I wanted for the week for about $65. Including coffee beans and stuff for chicken soup, so YAY.
And now I am going to make cupcakes, and stare longingly at the bottle of wine for tonight.

Erin! Bev mentioned that you wanted to be added to the polish exchange list (I've been skipping and skimming a lot lately) Can you shoot me your email address?
