Today was hard. Cathartic, and wonderful to see so many people together to celebrate my Mom, but hard.
Now I am flopped on the couch (with bonus Cass!). Tomorrow I go spend the day getting a pedicure & manicure.
Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

I'm sorry, Jilli. I'm glad you have Cass there with you.

Hon, I'm glad Cass is with you too.
I was thinking of you today. Serious vibes, but then I also saw this in the Target ad and thought Jilli!

Draculaura! For my birthday this past year, my Mom & Dad gave me her & Frankie Stein. Because nothing says We accept who you turned out to be like buying tiny goth dolls for your 42 year old daughter.

I think that's awesome; I'd never seen them before.
Ok, time to stop looking at garden stuff and go to bed.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
You deserve some relaxation and pampering, Jilli.
The comments on a friend's photo have turned into a search for the perfect mustachioed cyclops emoticon. It's making my day.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I'm glad there was wonderful along with the difficult, Jilli. And mani and pedi sound wonderfully, restoratively pampering. And more Cass time is always a plus.
As I've been stuck on the couch elevating my foot, I've actually uploaded (some of) the months' worth of photos we've taken. New stuff about the house starts here.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
OMG, I totally nightmared myself up. And it all had to do with a guy in a lab that wouldn't stop laughing and a light I couldn't switch off. CREEPY.

I woke up full of GRONK but determined to get started on my program project (due next Thursday). Of course, my desktop computer started crapping out almost immediately. And now I'm crossing my fingers as it goes through yet another CHKDSK, hoping that it will actually boot at least enough to make a copy of all the programming work I did yesterday. Bonus points if it's workable enough that I can do more.

Hivemind, does anyone know -- I got married in April 2010. Do I file jointly with Dan for 2010, or do I have to wait until 2011?
