It is honestly raining out there!
Bay Area, so weird. It was cold enough tonight that I wore a leather jacket and wool scarf on my way into the city, and then it rained! WTF, California, it's July!
My whole life just flashed before my eyes! I gotta get me a life!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Me too. All I got was sprinkled on as I was driving home.

Also, I got a crazy NM monsoon, complete with wind blowing birds stationary in flight, a gully washer down the street and epic thunder and lightning. And I got to stand on the front porch with my dad in the spray, watching it like we always used to. What more could I ask for?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Sounds like a Happy Birthday, sara. It's not midnight here yet, so I can still wish you a good one--and a great year ahead.

Thanks, it wasn't deliberately stealth, I just was offline most the day.

Welcome baby Jane!
Happy belated birthday, sara!!
Happy birthday, Sox!
I never want to pack or move again, yet we keep working on renovation plans and interviewing for jobs other places. I should perhaps sit myself down and have a serious talk with me.

Happy Belated Sara!
And welcome little Jane!
Sigh. I am feeling super burned out. I need a vacation that doesn't involve family, just R&R. Or a new job would be good.

Happy belated birthday, sara!
Happy birthday, Sox!
One of my coworkers clued me in on a job opening at my org that should hit right around the time my probationary period's up. It would be a 50% raise and put me back were I was, income-wise, before the layoff. It's nice that he thinks I should try for what's effectively a promotion, 3-months in. I'm not as sure. On the other hand, could trying hurt?
