I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

Happy Birthday Plei!

the morning glory vines are all ripped down (fret not, they're immortal)

Don't be so sure. As a teenager I discovered that all it takes to kill them is a little TLC from a person with a black thumb. Vines that would have laughed at Roundup withered and crumbled as if the water I was sprinkling them with was Greek Fire.

I found out today that I'm getting a 6 2/3% raise starting with next week's paycheck. That'll finally boost me up past my pre-Crash of '08 salary.

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

Congrats, Matt!

not your mom's socks.

JZ you are putting into words something I feel but can't say yet. Thank you for writing about it and thinking about it.

Zen all the belated hugs.

I have global entry but, for the last 6 flights, since I got it, I have not been given use of it. SIX.

Happy birthday, Plei!

I got to see Sparky and DH, and smish K (though she didn't in actual fact wish to have a thing to do with me) and that was wonderful

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I am VERY tired of having no real bathroom and my stuff all over the house. My morning routine is: get up, go outside to tiny half-bath (yes, the only access is outside on the back porch) and pee and brush my teeth, Come back in house, take lame shower in the tub using hands shower, go to Kitchen and put on deodorant, go to bedroom and get dressed, go back to kitchen and put on make-up while looking in tiny mirror. Grr.

Lord help me I am at a bunko night in suburban Texas with elementary school teachers.

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

What is bunko?

Scrappy, I know how you feel, from my travails with the sewer line, using the facilities next door. About the same distance. Msbelle, send back field reports so we know you're ok!

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

I do not know why, but I am completely exhausted right now. It hit the moment I finished dinner. weird.
