I don't fancy spending the next month trying to get librarian out of the carpet.

Doing the boat pose right now AIFG!

Yes!

I'm watching a groundhog out of the villa window, which is cuter than it sounds.

That sounds pretty darn cute.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Seriously.

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

I got eight and a half hours sleep one night last week. It was revelatory. I really hoped that trend would continue, but I'm back to four-five a night.

The last dream I had was crossing a street, with H in a wheelchair (he wasn't incapacitated, it was just...getting the chair across the street for reasons) and me carrying a cat by the name of the one we lost twenty years ago, except this cat looked nothing like her. As we approached the curb, she wriggled and I set her down, and she ran and disappeared down a storm drain. We couldn't get her out in the first couple of minutes, so we moved on--gotta deliver this wheelchair, after all. And then I woke up gasping because we'd abandoned the cat.

I just procrastinated some more by building a few slides for a presentation I need to deliver on Tuesday. REBEL YEAH.

Following up on yesterday's "Successes" story:

Does the process give a "Success" alert when it's done? That would almost make sense.

The only alert is an "Unknown Message Type = INFO" alert that says "Import Complete".

So I don't know.

And she just said it again about a different process in a different system, so maybe it's just part of her personal idiom for some reason...I think I can tolerate it unless it starts spreading to other people...

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Maybe find ways to forcefully use the word "succeed" around her, like a lot, so she twigs to the fact that it already has a perfectly servicable verb form?

That's probably more effort than I want to put in, but we'll see how it goes.

Ah, see, if it were me, the extra effort to prevent my head from exploding would be worth it. Your sumpsimus-ness [link] may vary.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Just tell her the internet is mocking her.
