I hope you said hi to DX for all of us! Miss him.
I did, and I told him you were all jealous.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
omnis, what are these magic lights, and where did you get them?
Shir, the fatigue effects are mono are so frustrating! The idea of you exercising to snap yourself out of mono is a little scary. Please take care of yourself.

Oh, Zen, I didn't know I had mono at the time.

I'm sorry, Cass.
Shir, I hope you can find a good balance point soon.

I really need to have a mini F2F at our house at some point,
YES.
if I can every get the place organized enough that I'm not embarrass to have people over.
Don't be silly. We're family. Cool family that just moves your laptop over so that we can sit on the couch, not stressy family that you have to scrub the grout for.
Staying here just trips my 'missing Dad a lot' cry a bunch apparently. Predictably, I sobbed for a while last night.
Oh, honey, I'm so sorry. I wish I could be there to hold you. I know what you're going through and I'm sending you all the love in the world.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
omnis, what are these magic lights, and where did you get them?
The lights are the Phillips Hue system. [link] You need a starter pack, which has 3 lamps and a bridge. The bridge plugs into your network. You control the lights via an iOS app (I think there is an Android app now as well). You can then purchase additional lamps, up to 50 on one bridge.

Vortex, I feel especially guilty about not having had you over yet. It's more like moving 5 boxes of books aside than just the laptop. It's possible I have too many books.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I wish Vortex could be there for you, too, Cass. She's really good at that (among all her other sterling qualities). Sending both of you hugs.
No such thing as too many books. Although...we did downsize some. And I'm finding libraries and overstuffed bookstores more intimidating and claustro. So maybe "too many" depends on the size of the container.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
Someone just called 911 to complain about a funeral procession. "Like, 50 cars and motorcycles with their lights on and three cars at the back with emergency flashers on and they're going really slow and blocking intersections and OMG I almost got in like 3 accidents because of them!!" I had to relisten to my (partially, stunned) response to make sure I won't get a rudeness complaint for explaining to this girl what a funeral procession looks like and how other cars need to be respectful and maybe find an alternate route if they don't want to be slowed down. Sheesh. I couldn't even make this stuff up.
