Buffistas

You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Double posting because otherwise seems crass...

I got an email today saying I have to be back at work on Thursday. Um, thanks for the notice. And since you're only paying me half my hourly/contract rate, perhaps I won't come to work after all? But it's prep for the accreditation we will be doing this year and I'm on the main committee so perhaps I will need to get off my ass and go.

In other news, I swam an entire lap of butterfly today! I mean, it was a lap insofar as it was two lengths, separated by a length of freestyle and MAJOR time to catch my breath. Also, my waterproof iPod ran out of battery charge while I was in the blow which is no good. Will try to do 3 lengths of butterfly tomorrow, but it's kicking my ass.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Jesse, I'm sorry for your loss. Similar thing happened to me earlier this summer and it really felt sudden and untimely, even though rationally I guess it was time. Do you want to move into that apartment?

Is it wrong that I find Duck Dynasty sort of delightful?

It seems like an old-fashioned sitcom, pretty much. A friend of mine is applying to write for it.

Jesse, I'm sorry for your loss, but happy that it was peaceful and she didn't linger too long.

Although I do second bon bon's question about the apartment: do you want to live there? Is it in a better neighborhood and cheaper?

My BIL has an aunt who is in her 90s, and has spent the last 60+ years living in a rent-controlled apartment right by Columbia. She apparently pays less than $100/month for this place. Amazing.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I'm sorry, Jesse. Glad it was peaceful but it is hard.

Do you want to move into that apartment?

Good question. Though I thought I remember you talking about it before.

Get some sleep and I hope tomorrow is easier with both the cold and the grief.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'm sorry for your loss, Jesse.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Jesse, I am so sorry for your loss.

Typo, congrats on getting the article published.

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

Wow, Kat, any butterfly at all is impressive! I've never been able to do it.

I'm sorry for your loss, Jesse. Much love to you and your family.
