Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Me, too!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I need to buy some eggs.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

So my errors this weekend at work ( nothing major, but annoying) have resulted in me being removed from the weekend rotation. It is the equivalent of throwing me into the briar patch. I won't be getting overtime every fifth week like I did when I worked, but SO worth it.

Normally I would be afraid about any reduction of job duties, but this is good and this makes sense. I am not involved in a lot of the day to day production talk and then to have to be dealing with it basically solo every fifth weekend ( or even rarer because of weather) makes it difficult.

So, maybe slightly worrisome, but more Yay! I can freely plan weekends.

Sounds good, msbelle!

Still hoping you can find a more congenial job.

Weird, I can't get into Tumblr from work, and not because it's blocked but because the security settings and connections don't go through. Not even with a Danger, Will Robinson warning.

not your mom's socks.

A friend on Balt. City Council said some wise things the other day that got picked up by the City Paper. I'm really proud of him. I may have made an error posting his words on my fbook feed (my friendslist contains a lot of different politics), but I kind of want the world to know that there are a lot more ways to think about what's happened, and what can happen next.

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

Followed Dear NSA. Loving it.

TB, all good luck in tracking down a diagnosis, and that helping treat your symptoms. Bodies are often difficult.

Matt, I'm sorry about your elderly relative, and I hope her brother is merely tired and confused. I'm glad you were able to be a pallbearer.

Suzi, I'm enjoying hearing about your move.

Had my performance review - basically I am awesome, keep it up, so that feels good. And I did get a raise, which I wasn't sure would be happening considering the year we've had. 3.5%, which doesn't amount to much but it does get me past a round number that I was on the wrong side of, so that's nice.

I should probably spend some time thinking about my automatic deductions, but I am so not in a mood to think about money lately. What little I've done in that are has all been making sure my bills get paid on time, and that has been challenging enough.

I just pimped Dear NSA on FB and the first two likes I got were from my most liberal and most conservative friends. So - there is appeal from both ends of the spectrum.

Thanks Beverly. I feel like I've surpassed "my move likes carrots". Having this big overlap is fantastic on some levels and very frustrating on others. I get to take my time unpacking car load by car load but it feels like it is taking forever and there is still so much at the apartment.

Miss Kitty is doing well though I'm worried how she will do going up and down the stairs each day. I did get her some hip and joint support chews that she has gobbled down so far. I gave Noodle the run of the house earlier and I haven't seen/hear from her in the last few hours. She is my "find the smallest possible space and hide there for hours" cat.
