Finally caught up and have to add my whoohoos to both the ACA and SSM coming out on the winning (our) side in one week. I want to hug them all (except Scalia.) I'll take reasoned dissent, and thank the person for it, over fucknuts raving, any day. Plus, thanks for the link to POTUS singing Amazing Grace; I ♥ that man and his wonderfully expressed compassion for all.

Also, Hi, Cindy! Nice to see you adding to the gladful rejoicing here. I've always enjoyed the way you express yourself.

I'm writing to my landlord to tell her that I'm moving and need to break the lease, and I'm not sure how to word it.

Dear Landlord,

Thank you for being my landlord for the last X months/years, but I am going to be moving and need to break the lease. Please call me or email me to go over the procedure for this.

Me.

Email sent. I hope landlord is understanding. I'm giving 60 days notice and I'm not even gonna try to get out of the reletting fee.

Edit: thanks, Connie. I probably should have said thanks, but mostly went with apologies for making life difficult.

Love it!

Damnit, I just want to apply to this job. Why do I have to write an actual cover letter?

Rats, my battery is dead and I just fried a set of cables trying to jumpstart my car. Firestone was so covered up in customers I couldn't even get into their parking lot, so I'll need to wait until Monday morning to get the car jumped and a new battery installed.

Borrowing Mom & Dad's van so I can meet best friend out for his birthday dinner tonight. It's a good thing I didn't have any extensive travel planned.

Oh man. I had a Mom-of-the-Year award last night.

Penny has been completely evil about breaking into the kids' room and chewing things. Yesterday she had been in the room until I caught her, maybe 20 minutes, and she had a guilty look. When we put Noah to bed, he called us and held up a hand of fluffy stuffing and said, "Where's this from?" We checked all of his stuffed animals for tears. None. But a new dino he had gotten from the public library was missing.

Noah was bereft. Like heartbroken. And before he cried himself to leave, I had to leave the room because I had to giggle. Ugh.

How the hell did that happen? You walk into some sort of Congressional changing room?

I had a group of students he was meeting with, his constituents. One asked about his heart surgery and he took off his shirt to show him his scar. He was a surprisingly charismatic man. Which makes him even more evil.

I'm so impressed. This woman is my new hero

Yep me too, she's awesome

Popping in to wave the rainbow flag a bit: I'm out of the country (next door in Canada) at the moment, but it was a nice piece of news to see.

Also, hugs, hairpats, and expressions of love and solidarity to those in need or in distress.

Be well, best Buffistas, and take good care of one another.
