Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

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

Heart~ma, Zen sis!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Hospital is keeping sister overnight. Don't know whether to be less worried or more, but glad she's under observation. Stupid meat parts, wearing out before we're finished with them.

I want so badly to drop all my work on my boss tomorrow and drive across the state to see my sister.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.

Oh, Zen. Love and ~ma to you and your sister.

Hi, folks. Sorry I haven't been posting much, but I'm here and reading, bearing witness, as it were.

Hugs to those who want them.

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

Heart~ma for your sister, Zen.

Shrift, sorry I didn't see your DSL cable woes earlier. I'm pretty sure I have a couple of those stashed here somewhere.

I hope your sister is ok, zen. Sisters are important!

I picked up a half-case of wine at BevMo tonight for my sister, because I've been here for 3 weeks and I'm eating a lot of their food and drinking a lot of their wine and hitching rides to work with my BIL and I'm sure they're getting tired of me. And five minutes after I got home with my bag o wine, my sister walked in--with six bottles of wine.

... we might possibly spend too much time together.

ION, I made a very tasty dish tonight! Cucumbers with avocado and grilled shrimp. Chop up three cukes and an avocado and an orange. Throw another avocado in the blender with some orange juice. Grill the shrimp (or buy it cooked). Combine everything with some olive oil, salt & pepper. NOM. Thank you, Mark Bittman!

I love this story.

~ma to your sister, Zen.

Aurelia, thanks for the thought! I've spent the entire evening preparing for the move and transferring files to backup drives, so I didn't even miss the internet tonight.

In other news, I've been having one of the moving cross-country mental breakdowns I've been told to expect, which is why I'm not asleep yet. I expect I'll have another one tomorrow. But once it's done, Dana can ply me with alcohol and everything will be fine.

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

Quick breakdown recovery, shrift.

And all good thoughts to your sister--and to you, Zen.
