I'm sending you lots of strength and love for you and mac today, msbelle.
Lindsey: Why--why did you... Lorne: One last job. You're not part of the solution, Lindsey. You never will be. Lindsey: You kill me? A flunky?! I'm not just...Angel...kills me. You...Angel... Lorne: Good night, folks.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
In other news, we got up early to prepare for the cleaners. We cleaned the house to prepare for the cleaners. Apparently, the cleaners will not be coming, and our neighbor (whose house they also do) forgot to tell us they rescheduled with them for next week.
It's fine, I'm sure I didn't need that extra sleep.

I need to get to the post office today to send out gifts to the Utah contingent of the family. Kicking myself for yesterday. Everything I tried to take care of went a bit pear shaped. Not my fault but still, feeling like I'm blowing it big time in every direction.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Oh, Burrell, I know that feeling. You are getting all the big important things right--if you don't get minor daily things done in quite the way you want, be nice to yourself.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
OK, the Winter Solstice just happened for us Northern Hemisphere folk. Happy Winter!

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!
My condolences, msbelle.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Happy Solstice! It's sunny and 61 degF today. I'm taking it as a promise from the Sun.

You are getting all the big important things right
I hope that's true. I suspect it's not. In fact, I got a list: Raising kids in chaotic environment, sometimes leaning on them emotionally--two big no-nos. Letting career stagnant. Not safeguarding finances, esp failing to ensure adequate retirement funds. House needs major repairs & remodelling. Husband feels unsupported.
Bah, I could go on, but I won't.
Okay, here's a few ways I'm doing things right, just for contrast: Keep family fed and housed. Shower family with love. Have a good job with benefits. Boss thinks I'm doing a good job at my job. Keep in touch with family and friends. Kids are doing well in school and socially.
I suppose that second list is more fundamental, but the first list is not insignificant.

The status is NOT quo.
Love to you and yours, msbelle. I'm sorry for your loss.
