and turning into a puddle of sentiment at the lovely woman Jilli just met.
She was so lovely. I talked about my friend who transitioned last year and is now volunteering at a community space for queer and trans teens; and the lady gave me a photo card with pictures of her daughter and a link to the website that talks about their story. I can't wait to give it to Maura.
So the Menorahmobile was just parked in front of our building. I managed to get a picture as it left.
My boss told me about it--it's used by a sect of proselytizing Jews (I forget what they're called).
Since I started working in Highland Park, I've been approached twice by them. They leave me alone after asking me if I'm Jewish and me telling them no.
Consuela, you are the opposite of a bad daughter. There are just no unambiguously "right" things to be doing in your family's situation now. I think giving your day a morning of potential quiet is the best option now.
And, ugh, Dana! What stupidity!
This was not an unexpected smile because, puppies are kind of known for being cute, but this is the picture CB's former foster mom sent last night:

I feel kind of bad that we don't have the space for multiple dogs. Clearly she'd like a puppy of her own!
Being right when your father is wrong (and pressing it) is not bad.
I tried to refresh my brain by looking at pictures of the two Steve McQueens, and apparently that's not a trick that lasts. Maybe it's inherently flawed by me not wanting to stop.
Dana, they shouldnt mention an offer unless it is 100%.
I'm at the oncologist getting an iron infusion. Doc called this morning to say my Ferratin level is 7, normal is something like 15-200. So here I sit for the next 3 hours. Wheeeee. So bored already.
Suela, you did the right thing.
Dana, that sucks.
Tommyrot, likely Lubavitchers. They focus on getting people who are already Jewish to be more observant. My bf D was a Lubuvitcher for about six years. Which is kind of cray.
Doc called this morning to say my Ferrari. Level is 7
Oh autocorrect you never cease to amuse.
Suzi, I hope it quickly helps your energy level.
'suela, there's not much any one of us can say, but I hope you catch some downtime and serenity soon.
I am all for drugs for Consuela's mom. Seems like the most humane thing. I'm reminded of my grandmother, who was eternally depressed and cranky (all her life, she tried many many meds, but especially as she was older). Once she was in the hospital and my mom saw her and was like "OMG, she's HAPPY. What is she ON, and can you give that to her ALL the time?!?" Sadly they never figured out what did it.
BOO to sucky employers. Or non-employers. Or something.
