~ma for your mom, Matt.
Gud, I am sorry to hear about Thor. They give us so much love but they just can't stay.
Goodnight, Happy Cat. Goodnight Sylvia.
Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

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.

Oh work. For two years I have been asking about the national credentialing for Direct Support Professionals that the higher-ups mention at PR moments. For two years they have been telling me, "We'll let you know more when we find out more." Last week my main supervisor tells me, "Oh, it's a nomination process because there is a pay raise involved." Today I get an email saying, "Since we can only nominate one person, and someone else at this location is interested, I asked one of your other supervisors to nominate you. Have this form filled out and returned to her by Friday."
It's a page full of essay/interview questions. I have BSed my way through four of them to be stumped by this one: "My personal views and values on community human services are:" I don't know how to answer that in a way that is not rehashing the ones about why I want to do this work and what qualities and strengths I have.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

My thoroughly unhelpful first thought was "Four legs good, two legs bad."

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Wow, Kat!
Soaring Crane is kicking my ass. I think I am just going to go to bed rather than try to pack or whatever. So tired.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Have a great trip!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Husband has another in-person interview tomorrow. It's moved very fast -- they first talked to him last week, and before I could even call him to ask how the second phone interview yet, they had booked him a ticket to fly up for the third interview.
I have managed to make it through this week so far, but OH MY GOD it would be good if he could get this job. The salary is what he was making before, it's in a big city where I could get another job, they'd cover relocation, etc.
Anyway, if everyone could start directing their good vibes today, maybe we can make this happen by sheer force of will.
