Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, I've gotten recs for both the steamer and the fabric softener, and am a little afraid of the steamer, because of all the wood. Maybe I'll say I'll try doing one room and see how it goes. (my mother is totally willing to hire someone, but I just feel like I can do unskilled labor myself!)

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

So I am watching the live stream out of Miami of Diana Nyad finishing her swim. It is very confused and I don't even know how far out she is, except pretty close.

Laura,

The last hourly news update on NPR says she's within sight of the Florida shore. The captain of her support ship is amazed that it looks like it will happen this time.

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.

I was watching it, too, and amused by the small dog on a surfboard. Everyone wants to cheer her on!

This too shall pass.

The Miami feed crashed so I switched to CNN.

I'm watching on CNN, too. Is the small wave to the right of center Nyad?

Twitter is saying she made it. BADASS.

There seem to be a lot of people leaving the beach. Is it over?

Where was she swimming from?

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

I had zero idea where she was going to or from, but as soon as I got the idea someone was distance swimming I thought Cuba to Miami was the best. I wonder if my subconscious fed that to me...

Does she have a message of some sort, or she just picked a nearby place?
