This very long wait just got a little better with a Leverage repeat on the TV.

I know it has been an emotional run for you, Sean. It sounded from this side like it was a positive experience in many ways.

It was the most amazing experience I've ever had, in a career and industry where amazing experiences are more common than usual. I'd never seen the show or heard the music until I worked on it, and it's now my favorite show.

Congrats on a good run, Sean. Did you get to hear your monologue?

Not yet, but the show it's in is running next weekend too, so I'll be able to catch it then. I think I'll be able to go both nights.

Sean, I'm so glad the show was such a good experience for you.

3 hours later my car is finally ready!

So, I am doing a five-day fruit fast to kick-start my "Healthy Eating Which Will Hopefully Lead to Some Weight Loss" plan. A bit drastic, but I have found a shock to the system is really good to break my crazy-ass eating habits.

Also, I am tired of none of my clothes fitting.

P-C, you are right, I just checked. Never mind, Nora!

Good luck with your fast, Scrappy! I am such a protein ho, I can't even imagine doing that for one day. My body is freaking out hungry right now since I've started work again.

In StW news - I generally have trouble sharing a bed with someone, I don't know why. He spent the night on Saturday, and I slept pretty well; last night, I actually had a bit of trouble getting to sleep because he WASN'T there. It was kind of nice, in a weird way, I don't know if that makes sense.

Go Scrappy! We'll be happy to cheer you on. I've done a cleansing diet from time to time, usually with msbelle as my cleanse partner, and it's really a nice way to become more self-aware around eating.

The SO & I were talking about doing a juice fast for a bit.

And because it needs its own post, I just found out a former student just lost her grandmother and cousin to an apparent double murder on the Apache reservation today. The BIA is investigating so it sounds like they're waiting on the feds to arrive from Flagstaff. (One of the vagaries of pseudo-sovereignty: tribal police have authority up to a certain point, but the feds have jurisdiction over capital cases like rape and murder. Of course, those cases aren't usually on federal radar, so justice is often slipshod at best. Another classic example of institutional racism at work.)

Anyway, it's horrible and my former student is upset, of course, and I'm frustrated because there's little we can do.

Oh how awful, Liese.

That's terrible, Liese.
