What Burrell said
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Kudos to Hawaii's Hoohiki, or their process to get documents from their courts. I sent an email asking what form to use to request adoption records, and within a couple of hours I had the PDF I needed. I don't want to even think what would be required in the non-Internet age.

I know there will be tsuris regardless, so I'd operate like they said. Even if you get a conditional yes, it sounds like she'll renege. So just move forward, loins girded.
City smells faintly of old farts and wet dog. Which I suspect is just exhaust due to inversion. No breeze, humidity rising. It gets like this sometimes. Unfortunately, I am airing out the house.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
The air quality here is terrible due to wildfires nearby. I've had a migraine since Tuesday, and husband's got a cold that won't clear up. We're both blaming the smoke.

Yeah, at least there isn't smoke here. We haven't had smokey air since...uh? 2000? But I grew up in fire country, so I know the drill and phlegm.
But the city gets this peculiar smell now and then. Few others notice it, but apparently it is a Smell I am good at picking up on, and do not like.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Awww, fuck. I just looked at the directions for Emmett's tournament tomorrow. It's an hour and forty minutes away! That's further away than Sacramento! It's past Manteca, a City whose very name means lard. And we've got two games tomorrow with a two hour break in the middle and a two hour drive back. Holy shit, that's dismal.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Maybe if you think of Manteca as a Dizzy Gillespie song it will be a nicer drive?

Sadly I've been to Manteca. Plus, Emmett just figured out that he doesn't actually have his blue jersey here as he presumed without looking.
So, now I get to add a forty minute detour to Albany to tack onto my hour forty trip to the land beyond lard.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Beyond Lard. Potential cookbook title?
I am grumpy because this list: [link] doesn't indicate how the arrests/investigations/court cases went.
Oh. Huh. I'm currently working with one of the women on that list and I fully expect the hubby to be around on Monday.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I can't work out how to feel. I mean, I know how to feel--American Airlines read my complaint and said "Ooh, she's pissed, give her a voucher that will get her many places in the US." But they clearly didn't think it was worth more than a form letter, and given that my complaint was I WAS ON MY WAY TO THE HOSPITAL I feel they could have said something more than "we know your time is valuable and you are frustrated". No, let's take a minute--my health is vital and I am unwell and in pain. It's amazing how much difference not-a-form-letter would make.
But that will probably take care of my flight to the wedding, if I'm lucky, and is almost as much as I paid to fly back for my sister's party.
So--I know the answer is "grateful". But I'm still pouty.
However--upside to having the car in the shop and driving three different cars while it was busted--*now* my new car feels like it's mine. So, there's that.
