Natter 72: We Were Unprepared for This  

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh hee -- the call wasn't today, just some day at 9.

My main unemployment strategy was getting out of the house every day, preferably walking a long way, so a hike seems like a good call. (Walking was good because it used up time AND was active. So I walked the couple of miles to the unemployment center, and that used up half the day!)

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

GLAAD's Where We Are On TV report reveals that overall queer representation is down since last year's all time peak, but is high compared to the other years since tracking started. These numbers aren't high, though. And it would be great if they were tracking Dramatic Series with Leading LGBT Characters on Broadcast Television instead of and/or Supporting, since most of their numbers are going to be made up in the qualification.

But HEY.

Calli, are you sure you don't have a PRE-cold? TV told me they exist...

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

No, I'm pretty sure I have the garden variety, friend's-baby-sneezed-all-over-me cold.

Good luck with the doctors, ia.

Consuela, a hike sounds good. (Well, conceptually, to me, at the moment.)

It's a glorious week here in Utah, chilly mornings, sunny afternoons, no snow outside of the mountains. If I can keep my lungs warm, it's a wonderful time to be alive.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Mixed news from Mom on the cancer--it's a little bit everywhere in her abdomen and a spot on her lungs. But it may still be the type that attacks the organ membranes. So the options are possibly chemo before surgery to try to remove some. Or topical chemo to attack the specific sites rather than iv chemo. Could be a lot worse, I must say.

surgery~ma for Grace.

ita, I hope there are answers for you.

I hope something works, Cashmere.

OK, this is the kind of thing I love about Boston: [link]

Punishingly Intricate

Good luck on the jobs, everyone! My company is hiring out the wazz right now, btw, if anyone is interested. We have hired remotely in the past so you never know!

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

I didn't have the spoons last night to make lasagne, but I started reviewing Yuletide source last night and now have three pages of notes, so I guess I'm okay with that trade-off.

I am trying not to glare at coworkers who are coughing disease vectors, but it's difficult to restrain my ire this morning.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I didn't have the spoons last night to make lasagne

Heh - without the context behind "spoons" this is a very odd sentence.
