Sometimes I am just overwhelmed by being a caretaker.
Oh yeah. I wish there had been more rest and renewal in your vacation.
Yeah, we're building a race of frog-people. It's a good time

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!

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.

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 had that with a close college friend on movie blogs. When we reconnected she mentioned that she had a blog on Bollywood, and I recommended a movie to her. She then informed me that she not only knew the movie but had gone to India and met the director and the star. (Turns out she was probably the biggest blogger on Bollywood movies in America.)
Anyway, then I went back and saw that there were places where we were commenting side by side on another movie blog we both liked.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I'm onTumblr, but I have remarkable consistency of identity on the Internets.

resume knowledge people. I used to firmly stick to the one page rule, but I am now bleeding over onto two and think I should maybe add on another job to get it to a full pay and a half.
Thoughts? I only have 4 jobs on it now. Left off the two part time jobs I worked from 2011 - 2013 and nothing prior to 2007.
also, would love more eyes on it - just my first stab with adding the current job on there.

Moving from "this was mom's" to "this serves no functional purpose and it isn't my asthetic" was a big step. I still have stuff I keep purely because it reminds me of her, but it is also stuff I like/want to see on a daily basis.
My dad and I are still doing this, in bits and pieces, with mom's stuff.
I'm on Tumblr, but at this point I think the whole world knows I'm on Tumblr. Which I don't mind at all, it's just sometimes a little weird to look at my follower count.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
At some point, when my mother dies, I think I am going to have to deal with her stuff, my grandmas stuff, my grandpas stuff and my stuff from high school and college. It probably would be easier just to move in and live with it. And my mom has worked pretty hard to get rid of stuff, but still.
Unrelatedly, why do online house listings offer pictures of the breaker box and the water heater? I am pretty much going to assume that the house has electricity, and the picture of the breaker box tells me nothing! It is so weird. I want to see more pictures of the kitchen to make sure it isn't hiding country oak somewhere. Especially faux country oak WITH faux granite counters in the worst of the 80's and today in kitchens.
