That is interesting. Huh, never thought twice about the history of the name or the logo.
We can come by between classes. Usually I use that time to copy over my class notes with a system of different colored pens. But it's been pointed out to me that that's, you know...insane.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
I thought the B and X were a nod to the abbreviations for transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx), so it was Blue-transceive, or a BX kinda thing. Nope. Some old Viking leader's initials. Neat!

Man, I just read about this in a novel (The Ancient Family chronicles) (terribly copy-edited, BTW.)

Any ~ma for my step family today would be really appreciated. My stepfather's great-aunt, J, fell into a coma today. She's been in a nursing home for a while with various health issues so this wasn't unexpected, but it is still hard for the family.

My brother came over last night. He had a sit-down with Mom and me (after she told him we already knew what was going on, sort of). Turns out his actual arrest was two and a half years ago, and he managed to keep it from us. He was in jail for 18 days for this probation violation. He said he's been group-therapizing and 12-stepping and he actually sounds like he's in a good space awareness-wise. If he can just "keep with the program", I'm cautiously optimistic for him.

Epic, I hope he does better this time.

Tea:
I was up sick last night with an awful stomach ache for the second time in a week. I have these awful stomach aches on occasion, but not usually two in one week. I can't decide if it is a post-miscarriage hormones are fleeing my body at a rapid rate thing or something else entirely, but I'm afraid to leave the house today in case I get sick again.

Sorry you're feeling gross, sj. So hard to function when your body is in rebellion. I send you Ginger Ale vibes to feel better.

Thanks, Epic. Sometimes I feel like my life is filled with episodes in which my body says, "You had plans? Ha! Not anymore."
