I'm posting from my bed. Harvey is lying on my tummy. Sammie is lying next to us by my knee. A little while ago I thought about leaving to run some errands. And then I decided that the most important thing I can do is to be here now.

I might regret the things in life that I have not acchieved but I will never regret living in this moment.

!!!! You may just have the bestest name ever! I mean how do you beat that?

Inorite? I discovered this exciting news during a poetry class in college, where our first assignment was to research the meanings of our names and present them to the class. Imagine my glee... my classmates were somewhat nonplussed.

So unless D's last name means "peanut" or "inconceivable," I may just have to keep my names as is. Not that there is even a whisper of any of that at the moment - he still hasn't said "I love you," for those following along at home. Unless that's what the plane ticket home means, I'm still learning his language of generosity.

I might regret the things in life that I have not acchieved but I will never regret living in this moment.

Amen, sistah.

...actually, may I tag?

I am not doing so good in the wake of the events in Boston today. I feel sick (headache, stomach nausea) and heartsick.

I don't even know what's going on in my head.

I'm watching Community, trying to keep my brain from crying.

Ah, Nora, my love. I'm so sorry.

I knew lea was old(er) English for meadow, but--

"Hi, I'm Beaver meadow, have we met?" Bucolic. Sorta like me.

I'm sorry, (((Nora))), and anyone else shellshocked by today's news. I'm dealing by being frivolous and avoidy, and sneaking up on print news when I can handle it. I don't mean to make light of the situation, or anyone else's feelings about it.

It's a good thing I have a DVR because all TV is pre-empted here, and I have reached my limit of disaster coverage for the night.

We are probably going to stream Netflix--an Attenborough, a cozy Brit mystery. Like I said, avoidy.
