But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The cafe downstairs puts aside a cupcake brownie with fudge icing for me every week so I can get two per week. They've even written my name on it.

That's great.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Happy-making things: How one of our dogs looks operatically miserable from walking in the rain and the other (a poodle) looks totally chipper, even though all his curly hair hangs in his face.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Oh, another happy. I just found a set of earphones I thought I had lost.

not your mom's socks.

ita, I'm so sorry.

What Maria said.

Separately, I hope the tow-truck folks get it together soon.

I am wearing boots, if that helps.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I am wearing safety shoes.

Things that make me happy: awesome tv, my snugglepup, good food, Nora and Tom for neighbors, the crazy morning show on the local hip hop station, my neighborhood.

I'm so sorry, ita.

I'm sorry, ita.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Damn it, ita, that's horrible. I'm sorry.

Things that make me happy: TJ's Just Turkey slices, my new phone's enormous freaking screen (ciao, Apple, it's not me, it's you), seeing my aged relatives this weekend, my dog, which I just accidentally typed god, which is what those things WANT you to think.

Oh, and the just-completed series of Doctor who.

ita, I've been through this with my mom twice and it is just SO DAMN HARD. Until you know what is happening, it is nothing but waiting and worrying. I wish a good prognosis and strength to you and your family.

I'm so sorry ita--wish less stuff were going on at once for you. I remain very glad I was too young to really get it when my mom had cancer (she's 25plus years free now!)

Things that male me happy today: being productive (no really!), the pretty drive down to Colorado springs, music, the hot girl that continues to be interested, my plan to get an iPhone 4s.
