Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

In a classic twist, I read that post right after listening to Prince's new version of "Let's Go Crazy," and now it's right back to "He Arose!" I do not know "Master, The Tempest is Raging," but it sounds like a good one.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

How can you get good psychiatric care when you're not seeing the same person all the time? As soon as you develop a relationship with someone and feel like they know you, they move on. That's ridiculous.

This is something that Tom's been dealing with for years. It's super frustrating. Hopefully we've got a potential permanent person now...

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Yay Vortex and flea!

I'm currently at the 6 hours/pay period annual leave level at work.(Sick leave is at 4 hours/pay period for everyone) I'm a federal employee, so no change in salary for a while.(Not that I can negotiate salary at all)

The status is NOT quo.

Congrats Vortex! Yay flea!

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Congratulations flea!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I just (like, on my lunch break a couple of hours ago)applied for a couple of permanent positions where I am temping. I doubt I will be negotiating for anything at this point, but I feel pretty good about my chances of getting an offer on one of them, at least.

Hope you can work something out for your leave, flea. Congrats on the offer, even if it is low.

I'm starting inquiries about a Harp loan. I may not have informed the mortgage holder of H's death yet. I hope that doesn't make for big problems.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

"Were You There" is probably my favorite Easter hymn. At church camp, the minister of youth/choir director asked me to sing it a cappella at a specific point in the campfire service. Unexpected, in the starlit dark, after an extremely poignant anecdote. There were people weeping--weeping. Felt powerful, though emotionally manipulative. I can see where that sort of thing would become addictive. I've always been fond of the song, since.

Ooh, that sounds amazing, Beverly.
