Scuzzy is a terrible name for anything, much less a vibrating beaver! Good lord.
Gris, best of luck. Just a few more months until the school year is over?
Jesse, I know that feeling well.
Does anybody else miss the Mayor? 'I just want to be a big snake.'

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Flight home was delayed 3.5 hours. Have retrieved dog and am now in bed. Mac is packed to fly right out again tomorrow morning to see his uncle. Oz, the cat who hissed and swatted at the sitters to such an extent they could neither give him meds nor pet him, he sniffle me for a second then is purring, flopping, and asking for belly rubs! Infuriating. He is going to have to be boarded for any future trips and treated as a hostile cat.

The bakery isn't technically open for business till Thursday. Right now it's the last-minute crash to prepare, and there are a zillion things still to do. BUT we have been tasting all the bread and pastry, because the bakers are figuring out the new ovens and fine-tuning recipes. And honestly I'm running so much, up and down from the basement, bending, squatting, cleaning, sorting, that I'm not worried about the extra carbs. Yet.
I do love it. The owner is just fantastic and the young head baker is in love with his job and with bread and life, so it's all really chaotic and frantic right now, but also really wonderful.

Amy, that's good to hear!
Msbelle, I feel you. I was the only one who Devi allowed to medicate, I got very lucky with MK.

Amy, that sounds wonderful! I'm glad you're enjoying the job so far.
msbelle, sorry for the cat drama.

It's really cool to be part of this really small team she chose, and to be responsible for all the front of the house/retail stuff. Also a little nerve-wracking, but it feels good.
I do miss being here, though. It's a little lonely at home, being on my own with Sara. But Ben is here a lot, and texts an calls, and Claire is a wonderful house mother, if I can call her that. Just a lot of adjustments at once.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
We miss you too, Amy! But the bakery sounds great. And the pre-opening rush of any place is always weirdly giddy.
Last entertainment of this evening is "Intro to Felt Surrogacy," for which I have brought out Puppet!Angel. I feel he needs to see it.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That is a lot of change to deal with. The bakery startup sounds fabulous!

Amy, just remember we're always here,even if you aren't. We're pulling for you. It is a lot.
