goddammit I don't fear becoming an old lady whom no one ever visits, I fear being left with incompetent uncaring healthcare workers.

Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
$5 for a salmon dinner still sounds like a pretty good deal, Jesse.
An excellent point! I will not worry about it, and will try to make this again sometime. It was no more than 20 minutes from in the house to eating, as well.

When I do the salmon and kale thing for JZ and me, it's really easy and quick and delicious. But it FEELS fancy.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Kathy, 2.5 years, really? Congrats on the MLIS! Sorry for your parents' illnesses, I hope they continue to do well. Aren't the UK and Ireland great; I went in 2011 and this year and both trips were marvelous and boy are my credit cards heavy now.
Jesse, I'd pay $5 for a salmon dinner. That sounds good. That reminds me, I'm supposed to be cooking for myself and eating healthier food now.

Well, maybe tomorrow.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I finally felt like some real food tonight. Later, or tomorrow, I might even have some vegetables.

I am Very Proud of myself for mostly following the plan for which I bought all of the groceries (except this salmon) on Sunday. I'm literally just committed to eating the food I already bought.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Kathy!!!!!!! Nice to see you around these parts.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Yay Kathy! I think the last I remember from you was when you were early in the MLIS -- huge congrats on finishing it! And great to hear about travels and moves, if sorry about the health issues. It's good to see your pixels again.

Kathy! ::tacklehug::
Right now I am watching Band Candy. And it's awesome.

I've always thought we could take something viral if we put our minds to it.
Standing. Right. Here. Please, let me unleash my 26k+ followers on Tumblr. I am all over this.
It's so good to see everyone again. The reason is something I still can't wrap my head around, but seeing everyone post is nice. This place has given me people who I can't even call best friends, because they're family. You folks have given me pep talks, sanity checks, and helped me get a book deal. I cannot imagine my life without you.
In the "no, really, pile more things on" category: I found out at 7am today that I needed to book travel for the last-minute-approved trip to the Copenhagen office. That I thought wasn't happening. I fly out on Saturday, and will be gone for a week. Tomorrow is the work deadline I've been floundering toward for a month.
