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

That sounds delicious, -t

I"m planning on making lentils and garlic bread for the kids tonight (yay leftovers!) and fry up some polenta cakes for Cody and myself, but just realized we will have a bunch of folks descend on us in a few minutes. May default to take out instead.

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

Both those options sounds good to me, Burrell. I need to work out how to fit restaurant meals into my highly structured meal plan. Other than Eat the Free Food Whenever It Is Offered, which is a basic principal of my life.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Jesse, should I just start posting Jeb pictures to her FB page? I can do that.

Ha! No thank you.

I love John Oliver.

That is all.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Congrats, shrift! Happy Moving!

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Haaaa so I guess we're tentatively scheduling my start date for July 6th although I'll be doing 50/50 work while we get someone in for my position and I train in the new position. So I'll probably be out in SF in July looking for a place to live, and actual moving may be Aug/Sept.

So you should TOTALLY come out the week that includes the 14th, because I will be there.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

shrift, let me know if you need help with apartment hunting.

So, I was trying to keep my heart rate in the 50-60% of "max" zone and found that I could do that by sitting up straight rather than leaning back on the couch.

I suspect that is not good.

I'm sorry to hear about Chumley. Just, I know.

Moving onwards, shrift! Yay!

I'm so scattered, it's not funny.

Acquired new TV. Damn thing has wifi. Haphazardly researched months ago. I'm still not on cable, so... Wonder if this one will last 18 years?

That could work, because we were talking about me coming in either the week starting July 6th or July 13th.

shrift, let me know if you need help with apartment hunting.

Oh, man. I will welcome all help with apartment hunting! I've been narrowing down options based on rent and reviews, but having people on the ground to assist is invaluable. Surely some landlord wants a thirtysomething long-time tech lady employee with no pets, right?!

Edit: Also, I was drinking wine and hanging out with senior leadership of the org I'm leaving because why not, I'm outta here soon, let's develop relationshippppps.

Note I've only had 3 glasses of wine in 6 hours, but I blame stormy weather for the brain pain.
