I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Good timing: This held off long enough for me to sing in our third and final concert this afternoon (though I was definitely not feeling good).

Bad timing: My last day of work is tomorrow. I was planning to spend the week enjoying not being employed, not lying on a couch hating life.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

If you feel like you have a fever, treat yourself as if you do, whatever the thermometer says.

Truth.

I made a litterbox today!

No, seriously. I cut an opening into a large plastic bin that fits inside the fancy enclosure. No more wrestling the covered one out. Hopefully less swearing. AND I got rid of the second box. They don't need it, one less to scoop.

I mean, they curl up together in the coveted spot, when neither are feeling playful... [link]

I am in Maui! Magically I no longer hate everyone with a towering fury. My friend's flight was delayed so I am going to be at the airport for at least another four hours, but it's not like being stuck in LAX.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Hello, Maui!

Thank you, Hil!

Yay Maui!

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

Yay Maui!

I hope it passes quickly and you can enjoy being idle at least some of the week, Dana. That's bad timing indeed.

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

I am in Maui! Magically I no longer hate everyone with a towering fury.

The Earth dodged a bullet, there...

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

Just about any genealogy software will have a bunch of different types of trees you can print out. There are reviews of a bunch of free ones here:

Great, thanks, Hil!

Dana, I hope you feel better soon and can enjoy your leisure time.

I have slathered on SPF 50 and am sitting outside. It's pretty great.
