Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

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

Not possible. Unless...something timey-wimey.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

God, seriously, my 25th is this year. I have zero plans to go (Tim asked me, "But don't you want to show off your man candy???"), but it's still disconcerting that it's been 25 years.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

My 20th is this year, and I'm weirdly ambivalent about it.

Living in New Orleans, I am of course insatiably curious about where you went to school, Dana?

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I have to ask about the "pile" of modems and routers?

The cable and phone hookup and the wireless routers for TV and internet are in a weird location, and would be hella expensive/troublesome to re-locate. Plus, I'm not 100% sure where the best location would be. Anyhow, they were in an untidy tangle in an out of the way corner. Now, they're tucked away in a stack of rather attractive baskets.

35th is unpossible!

I am so tired today. The sleep study went (I don't think well, actually and since this is a necessary step to decannulation, I'm vaguely worried she failed) and now I feel all hungover and gross. Sleep disruption is no one's friend.

I'm also feeding some low level anxiety about a beesting to Noah's neck yesterday evening and his extreme malaise today. kids are all worry.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Thoughts run through the head of EpicTangent:

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Wow, just found out the musician whose family founded my org is going to be inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame.

Liese, that's very cool!

Am currently at a friend's house, keeping an eye on her while her gf is at work. She had heart surgery about 10 days ago and can't be left alone until 2 weeks post-op. I'm always grateful for the chance to help out this friend, since she has done so much for M and me since we moved to town. So we're just hanging out with her cats and each doing some work. It's nice and companionable.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I'm pretty excited about it.

Aww, that's nice of you, Kate.

Kids and worry are why I can't have kids.
