Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

Another pesto related injury! When will they learn!

The status is NOT quo.

Not that we see as much of each other as we'd often like. Busy, we are. But truly, lovely Buffistas in LA, and we'd love to add you to our number.

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

Of course, it goes without saying that getting a whole new set of localistas would be a bonus!

I hope your foot is okay, shrift. That's one of those injuries that makes me angry that it hurts so much when it happens, dropping something on a toe.

I've been up since 4. I'm giving up on today. Fascinating what stress does to me.

It makes your sleep schedule like mine!

I have to drive to Torrance to pick books up. I'm tired just thinking about it.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I went with QuickenLoans because they made it easy to do so. So far it's gone pretty smoothly: mostly online communication, a few phone calls, I had to mail in one document. They were not clear about how best to do that, but I suspect that is because mostly people do not have to mail in originals. My house is upside down, but my new interest rate is low enough to make a substantial difference to my monthly payments, which is what I wanted. It'll be paid off 30 years from now instead of 24, but that far in the future is so theoretical to me right now, I can't worry about it.

Tim called the Quicken loan people last night and started the process. The interest rate should drop by about 2.5%, which is substantial, and will certainly help the budget for my impending life as a lady of leisure.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Have you guys seen these pictures of families with their weekly groceries? It's fascinating. [link]

It is interesting how even the ones with LOTS of vegetables (like India) still have fat people!. Also, poor Chad family.

The problem with me waking up at 4 is that it means I am pretty functionally useless for work cause I was up because my brain was too busy. And the outlook window keeps making my browser go all rainbowbally. FUCK YOU OUTLOOK!
