So, my calendar at work is put out by the Humane Society, pictures of dogs and cats every month. It's pleasant. This month I find particularly restful, and I just now figured out why - the dog is posing in front of bookshelves, and while the dog doesn't remind me of Walter or any of the dogs from my past, the books on the bookshelves could totally be mine - Dune, and Star Trek novels, paperbacks stacked up on their side next to hardbacks in series order. It's homey.
Well, personally, I kind of want to slay the dragon.

So I have this idea that we should hire ourselves out to the state of California, and we'll just drive around the state, getting groceries in every town and thus causing it to rain. We'll be hailed as goddamn heroes.
That's a great idea! We could pay tribute with vegetarian and gluten-free treats.

My most fabulous massage therapist, who was diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer last December, died yesterday. She was one of those people you instantly connect with, she made you feel important, and could brighten the darkest day. As dark as today feels, I still feel so lucky to have known her for the last 6 years.

My housemate is going out of town for the next few days. It's the first time I'll really be alone since Hubby died. Part of my brain goes "All alone! Wail!" The other part goes "No more having to share the bathroom! Yay!"

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I'm so sorry, Suzi.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm sorry, Suzi. That's hard.
Connie, I've had a couple of nights all alone in my house, and it is weird! But not as weird as I thought it would be. (And I don't even share a bathroom with my mother -- our apartments are separate.) This is potentially literally the only time I've been the only person in a building overnight, since mostly I've lived in apartment buildings.

Did the airport close?
No, but there were a lot of delays. The main airport news was the man who was arrested for the second time for trying to take a gun through a checkpoint. He was quoted as saying "I'm as baffled as you are" as to why he had the gun. He also said something cryptic about a problem with squirrels.

Because books.
Oh, Suzi, I'm so sorry.

I had the impression that the squirrel problem was at his destination, but who knows?
