ION, I was glad to hear about this controversy at the Catholic church I walk by every day -- the archdiocese made them cancel a planned service that might have looked like it was for Gay Pride this weekend (it was totally for Gay Pride!): [link] So not only are they a welcoming congregation, it must be working for them, because they have just done a shitload of work on the church facade, and it looks GREAT.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Jesse, that sounds incredible. So heartening to read about a pastor standing up and forcefully insisting on making a loving, welcoming place for everyone.
I am more than slightly bouncy today about news from my own parish, which is that we've been invited to join another deeply pro-QUILTBAG parish in marching in SF's Pride Parade.
Lots of interview~ma vibes to MM.
And yay Typo! I'm so glad to hear that cancer has been well and thoroughly fucked, and I sincerely hope the door does hit it in the ass on its way out.

Right?? It made me feel better about the weeks of walking in the street that they have subjected me to...

Jesse, adding 200 parishoners is pretty big, I'd imagine.
I do not want today. Or tomorrow. Or friday.

I'm so happy with my church (yes, it likes carrots) - they're having same sex wedding services (I met one of the happy grooms yesterday) and the bishop was in the pride parade (an annual occurrence).

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
ARGH TINO WTF.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Still fucked up from lack of efficacy yesterday at the ER and my boss won't let me work from home. Don't have meds yet, so it's moot because work wouldn't start well until then. I have just rescheduled a bunch of important meetings off until Friday that I hope he's okay with. I'd have preferred some of me on them today than all of me on them days from now.

Well, looks like it'll be regular insurance for me - the courts blocked the move to allow any contracts to be made with the new OAPs so if I want to stick with my current doctors I can't have an HMO.

Yeah, I wouldn't get a puppy - an adult dog all the way. I am thinking I might call them today.
