sara, congratulations on the promotion and raise, you senior professional scientist!
I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

Go Senior Professional Scientist go! I mean, better than being an unprofessional scientist. :)
Stephanie, that is so scary!! I'm glad you're OK, and hope everything keeps being ok.

I smell like dog. Which explains why the cats are so weird and smelling me and just being...weird.
The position title is just a bunch of words. Holds no real meaning in my actual workspace besides $$, but sorta funny with the timing.

Trust my rage
I put some pictures in Facebook.
The kids know there is a fire. I feel like I've been a bad parent tonight because I'm tense and I've been not focussed on them. But I'm sort of afraid to go to sleep even though I know that's irrational. And I signed up for reverse 911 just in case.

I think it is pretty reasonable, how you are. You are focussed on them: their safety. Even if they don't get it.

Goodness, Stephanie, those pictures are terrifying.
We made this offer to another of our Colorado Springs friends, but I think he's headed to Michigan anyway, and I know you probably have other resources, but if you need it, our house is totally available for you to evacuate to. We're out of it for the summer, and the door has a keypad, so we could easily give you access without being there.

Congrats, sarameg, that's awesome!
We had a great night with burgers and margaritas with our old friends ourselves. We were breaking in their brand new patio and pergola. We stayed way too late, reminiscing about good times and bad, and poking old wounds to get them healing, and laughing and laughing. It was marvelous, and really good for us.

Trust my rage
Thanks, Liese. I hopE it doesn't come to that but they are saying it will take weeks to get this under control.
I need to just put down my phone and go to sleep.

Congrats, sarameg!
Pete took me out for chocolate martinis after work. That helped my mood a good bit.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, it probably will. It's such a large scale. But firefighters are amazing people, and they will do the best they can.
Yup, get some rest if you can.
Good for Pete, Jilli.
