Also? Opened the windows and airing out house! Spring!
You've got my support. Just think of me as...as your... You know, I'm searching for 'supportive things' and I'm coming up all bras.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Yay, spring!
And also, YAY amych!
Talk of Easter had me looking up pictures of the Easter Sunrise Service at Old Salem. It's a thing. The Moravian Band plays (as it does at Christmas Candlelight Lovefeast), people gather in the square by Christ Church and follow the band to God's Acre (stumbling over the brick sidewalks in the pre-dawn), the Moravian cemetery, where all the gravestones are identical flat white marble. The congregants arrange themselves to wait for the sun to breach the horizon, singing hymns and praying.
God's Acre has gates, brick pillars with a white-painted arch between them, scripture quotes lettered across the arch. My favorite one, tucked up under century old trees and giving onto the sidewalk along a row of 160 year old row houses, says, "Till the Day Break" on entry. And, "And the Shadows Flee Away" on exit.
I am consumed with fond nostalgia.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, that sounds lovely.

I've been in meetings all morning. I just have one more left and then I'm going to slack off for a little while and do more computer research. There's one I'm looking at where I can get Windows 7, but it wouldn't ship until the 14th.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Ugh. My migraine had eased up overnight, but now it's back (the weather is INSANE right now, and my poor head has surrendered). I have to run to the grocery store, and then I am going to take ALL THE DRUGS that I possibly can (within safe limits) and then watching CA:TWS with the sound down low.
Maybe I'll get a Reese's Easter egg at the grocery store. I'm sure it would make me feel better.

Chip in paint on railing, fixed! And you can actually sit in the seats in my car.
Loki had enough outside time to morph into a growling wildcat.
Lest you think I'm too good at adulting, last night I took my recycling down, but failed to put it at the curb. WTF?

The good news is my coat rack arrived from UPS yesterday, and it unexpectedly has a marble base that's WAY too heavy for my cats to knock over. The bad news is it arrived without the wrench or the tines that the coats are supposed to hang from, so right now it's a loosely assembled extra-tall umbrella stand.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
you just have to wait until she is back.
Our registrar (who is the only one who can register students, posts grades, do incomplete contracts and degree audits ) is going out for surgery with no back-up. The plan has her working from home part-time as she can.
