"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Crazy fact- I just found out that he is in Hawaii right now. Going back in a week.

See, I'm glad he did that because the Judge is going to ream him out.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ha HA! I remembered an inside task, so I have gotten a to-do item done while still on the couch.

The status is NOT quo.

Yesterday was beyond awful. One of my oldest friends, Amy, and her family (including her elementary school aged children) live in Newtown, and she is a teacher ( I didn't know at which school). I didn't know for hours if they were all right. Thankfully they were --different school in the district--but one of her friends lost her daughter, and Amy lost several colleagues. I just...it's so awful. And then ND's niece said something about how teachers should be armed, and I completely lost my shit and I'm really struggling with seeing her on Christmas next week. So yeah.

Our wings are not tired.

I'm at the office to do some work. But I did bike here! Read some of a new book this morning. (result of stopping by library to get an application for volunteering with my son, yikes have to finish by Jan 2) I am striving for a better balance of working, working out, and relaxing.

{{{Pix}}} I had you on my mind yesterday, among others, knowing that you were from the area and might know those more immediately devastated.

Because books.

Pix, I was thinking of you yesterday, too. I'm so sorry.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Pix, I'm glad your friend and her family are okay, but it's such a horrible situation all the way around.

Thank you, but please no brackets for me. It feels disingenuous given what others lost.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Oh, god, Pix, I'm so sorry. It's all so awful.

I went climbing last night, then watched a couple of episodes of Fringe (am I supposed to care about Peter? I really don't). Now I'm going to walk the dog and do some cleaning, and then take my mother out for some Christmas shopping. And then maybe take her & my dad to lunch at Trader Vic's.

I had the jeweler fix up one of her old rings: it was missing an amethyst and a bunch of seed pearls. Turns out it was her grandmother's, a woman who all we know about her is her married name. And that she and her husband died young, leaving her daughter to be raised by her sister. It's cool to have a physical connection going that far back.
