moment of silence for Hamish
Thank you. I hope your date went well!
She was so young!
Dwarf hamsters only live about eighteen months, although I don't think she made it quite that far. Whitby (our last hamster) reached the grand age of at least three and a half, so I was quite distressed last night and wondered if I'd done something wrong. But she appears to have gone in her sleep, so that's nice really.
Too much work! I must plan a seminar on the gospels, and finish a document that goes to a committee that confirms my PhD status, and other such busy things.
I'm sorry I didn't say something earlier, Steph. I'm so glad it's going to be fine.
Dear weather, April fools jokes are for kids and Google employees. Not for you. Quit snowing. Now. No love, me.
I don't wanna go to work today. It's not that there's anything bad (except possibly some April Fool's Day jokes) waiting for me. I'd just rather stay home to write fic and wallow in a book.
Oh! I knew there was something I forgot - Seska, I was sorry to hear about Hamish shuffling off this mortal coil. A brief candle, but still a small light in this wilderness.
Whoot for benignity of your ladyparts, Tep! It's no damn fun when the parts that are supposed to be for fun turn on you. I hope the steroids do their job quickly!
Alas, poor Hamish, we salute your passing. ::bows head::
ION, this was posted in our coffee break area a while ago. I ♥ the State of Vermont.
I meant to say something last night, Seska. Sorry to hear about Hamish.

Whereas, Vermont rocks, Resolved, I will move there if I ever desire to live somewhere colder than fuck but otherwise awesome.
Good-bye, little Hamish.

Seriously, the snow this winter was so bad that it broke my brother's snowblower and he bought a new one that's so large it has a headlight. He's a pretty mellow person, but the enormous amount of snow made him lose his shit more than once.
(askye, you will be renting, so snow removal is NOT going to be the huge bugaboo for you that it is for my brother -- he owns his house, so he *is* the maintenance crew. Also, it has 2 driveways, one of which slopes up at a sharp angle, and the other slopes down. That means that snow whammies him HARD. You will still need long underwear and a really good pair of boots, but snow removal will not be a huge deal for you.)
(Also, you get good cheese, good beer, apple cider donuts, Lake Champlain...oh, and Will!)
