Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Oh, yay: the new season of GBBO has started airing in the UK, and someone brilliant is uploading it to Youtube. Which means I don't have to fart about with the bay of pirates. Excellent.

Oh thank dog. I watched on the iPlayer with a VPN, but starting Sept. 1, you will need a TV License to watch BBC iPlayer online. A friend of mine had a hard time finding a way to ahem it, so I was getting worried about what would happen Sept. 1.

I saw the spike in posts and was so happy to see the cause! I'm so relieved and happy and I am neither married to Dana's DH or have family in Texas! Best news!

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

Yea, Dana!

I decided to try Pokemon Go two nights ago and have now been told by a game that I walk too fast.

Got VPs coming into the office today. I was surprised they actually arriving at the dinky Lawrence, KS airport until it was explained they were using one of the small corporate jets. Definitely big wig VPs then.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Got a few more details. Husband starts in two weeks. I will be staying here for some time, and he will be in temporary housing or an apartment or with family.
