I'm sorry, dad. You know I would never have tried to save River's life if I had known there was a dinner party at risk.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

BTW, Tom (?) submitted that Good News paper already!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

That was me.

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

Oh, man, chicken noodle soup is a classic for a reason. I am quite pleased with my dinner.

Because books.

One of the best things I ever had was homemade chicken noodle soup when I was sick. It was Christmas, Jake was only three months old, and I was so sick -- fever, chills, all of it. Stephen actually made homemade noodles, too.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It was the one positive thing I reblogged! And for naught...CRUSHED.

Sorry--noncombative thing. I think I was being totally positive in the TRUTH sense.

Which isn't necessarily applicable, but it was when I did it. Just then. Around the paper.

Oh, that is the best, Amy! Soup made for you when you are sick is like nothing else. And with homemade noodles, yeah.

He's pretty cool like that.

Today was a sad day. I should go read Good Stuff.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Typo, thanks. My resignation letter stated that August 23rd is my last day. If they keep me through that, then I will take the next week to recharge. If they don't then I'll take a week and start August 26th.

ita !, thanks. I will be starting either August 26th or September 3rd, depending upon when I'm released from jail. My new boss emailed me tonight asking how it went. I think he was concerned they were going to counter-offer. They didn't. Because they knew they couldn't match it.

I'm glad you are taking a breather in between, Maria. Congratulations!
