Mom has AAA and likes it, although we used to have insurance roadside service. I've read that after Major Life Changes you shouldn't make decisions for six months to a year, but what do I know? I keep reading self-help books.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Happy Birthday, Sox!

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

You know what's disconcerting? Following someone on Tumblr for months, and finally discovering that it's one of your best friends who you didn't know was even on Tumblr.

I follow lots of people on Tumblr and I only know who like three of them actually are. I probably follow some Buffistas and don't even know it. Are a lot of us even on Tumblr?

Happy birthday, Sox!

We are home now. I am so tired that I can't even deal. But I had to. I had to re-order respiratory supplies and then was told we'd been discharged from our enteral supplies so I had to re-call our pediatrician and ask him to help us get a new authorization for enteral supplies. Then I had to speak to Grace's ENT and to schedule another appointment with her for a few weeks.

Sometimes I am just overwhelmed by being a caretaker.

Punishingly Intricate

My brain needs a companion goat.

Our wings are not tired.

Sometimes I am just overwhelmed by being a caretaker.

Oh yeah. I wish there had been more rest and renewal in your vacation.

Plus a companion goat can butt mean people on command!

I'm back from a good night at Readercon, and in the pleasant place where there are 2.5 more days of cool stuff. Plus, my own bed to sleep in, and the temps are down in the high 60s so it's good sleeping weather!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Sometimes your life is pretty overwhelming, Kat. I hope you can get some good rest tonight. Glad you are home, sorry that the trip was cut short, and especially for the reason it was cut short.

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

Oof, that' s a lot, Kat.

Following someone on Tumblr for months, and finally discovering that it's one of your best friends who you didn't know was even on Tumblr.

That is awesome.
