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 love watching the weather roll up the valley. Clouds are now hiding the mountains. I can see the world!

Oh, I love that part. Watching weather happen is like earthy magic.

AND, my team got a $10,000 award which we are going to spend on books, mostly non fiction -- Henrietta Lacks, A Few Seconds of Panic and Unbroken are my first choices.

ALL of the Henrietta Lacks. Until I read the other two, at least. I need to read more.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Scrappy, that sounds like a delightful evening.

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

Man, $35/month for thistle seed seems like a lot. But goldfinches are delightful, so I guess I'll keep doing it.

That sounds lovely, Scrappy, have a great time! How funny to realize you are having Oscar contenders/winners over for takeout.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I know what you mean, -t. I amuse myself every month trying to save a dollar or so on it, but it still adds up

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Grand news, Kat!

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

So I'm finally at the point of negotiating salary with this firm, although the client, my Former Employer, is asking them to cut their bid by 19%. WTF.

They won't give me any flexibility on leave, but apparently the job is 3 days telework/2 days in the office. I want a big-ass flatscreen monitor for that. And a standing desk, although I forgot to ask for that...

Good luck negotiating, Consuela!

I do leave the thistles in the backyard to go to seed, but I'm not going to harvest the seeds so I can fill the feeder in the front yard where I can see the goldfinches from my couch. And there are community standards against having huge thistle plants going to seed in your front yard, sadly.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Fingers crossed, Consuela

I hope your get what you deserve, Consuela. Squeeze 'em!

I am completely failing to motivate to be something other than a cat bed. Except they abandoned me, so now I have to Do Something. Ate. Once my body acknowledges that, will go swim.
