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?
We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

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.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Happy birthday plus one!

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?

Welcome, Jane!
Happy belated birthday, sara!
In terms of rain, I would be delighted to send y'all some of ours. Everyone and everything is starting to feel moldy.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Happy birthday, Sara! I'm so glad it was lovely and filled with family.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That sounds like an excellent day, sarameg! I'm so glad.
Many happy returns, Sox!
Sounds like a good opportunity, Calli.
