Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I think more doctors do drink! And drugs are totally a crapshoot in many many ways.

OK, the good news is, I was able to shove my sofa out of the way of where the new one will go. That is a problem I don't have to worry about tomorrow!

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

Yay for problems you can shove out of the way!

For real, though.

Best kind of problems. Maybe better than no problems. Maybe.

Because books.

This week was so busy, I wish I had the weekend to spend in a cabin somewhere, with books and ice cream. Something on a lake would be nice.

I might have to add tea, crusty bread, and brie to the list of essentials, though.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I had the neighbors over for "sorry about the layoff" drinks and old school Godzilla movies. It made for a pretty good end to the week.

I suspect my liver is not super efficient. Or maybe rose plus homemade schnapps would challenge our ancestors, too.

Thanks for all the kind thoughts and wishes for Elliot. I was able to toast his passing with some friends at dinner, tonight. I chose a beer named Gumballhead, after a comic book cat. While Elliot probably had more dignity than a comic book cat, it just felt right. I'm still sad, but I'm more at peace.

eta: Calli, it sounds like we've both got really good friends.

That sounds like a good end to the week, Calli. I hope you can find something good soon.
