Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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!

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

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

Because books.

Speaking of spoons, has anyone heard of spoon butter for conditioning wooden utensils and cutting boards?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Vaguely. I make my own wood conditioner, though, so I've never looked into buying it.
