I remember Alicia! She was a lovely, fun person, and I'm both delighted for her and unsurprised that a marvelous fellow noticed how marvelous she herself is. Much joy and many many years of it to her and the fellow.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Catching up - first, I want hard root beer for breakfast.
flea, I am so sorry for your loss. Grief is often complicated.
I competed twice!
Yay! I know it wasn't brilliant, but you did it and it will get better and easier.
Sometimes, love wins.
Thank you, Karl! This brightens my morning. I've seen so many friends that have assumed they would never find this joy suddenly turn it around. May the same happen to many others.
Oh, Karl, what a lovely story to wake up to! So happy for Alicia.
flea, I am sorry for your loss.
Karl, I am so happy for Alicia. That is great.
ION, M painted Peanut's room yesterday. I think he's nesting more than I am.
I wish we had more eggs in the house, I'd make hard boiled eggs and salt crusted potatoes for breakfast! But oh well. My whole house is asleep except for Luna and myself. I am pretending to grade. She is asking for pets and to play fetch, as is right and proper.
I love a quiet morning. They are such a rare occurrence.
A coworker remarked that now I could stop bitching about my brother and I laughed because this shit is far from over. Hello Thanksgiving. How do we now handles the holidays with this new absence? I'm hoping to convince the family to make reservations at a restaurant. I wish I lived closer only for this and Christmas so I could help cook.
After my Dad died, my Mom and I spent Christmas visiting a friend in Florida drinking margaritas and walking on the beach - as far away as possible from typical Christmases. It was wonderful to not be stepping on old memories.
Walked to End Alzheimer's this morning, which was great! It was just me, my mom, and our neighbors, which was kind of perfect. I keep thinking I should work harder to build up a team, but a small group is really nice. We also milked our VIP status for all it's worth!
Nice, Jesse!
I had planned to try making Hollandaise sauce this morning and have Eggs Benedict for breakfast, but I woke up really wanting a cheese sandwich. Maybe lunch will be more ambitious.
Timelies all!
The little guy was very fussy last night. Every few hours he'd start screaming. Up until last night he had been sleeping 6-7 hours from the last feeding(usually around 8 pm) to the next one. Not so much last night. I hope this was just a one-time thing.
