Holy Crap, Todd. I'm so sorry you had to deal with that. That's beyond ridiculous.
Mighty fine shindig.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
First, I need to say how very very much I hate insurance companies and the medical establishment, on behalf of Buffistas and of, well, all Americans. Being in HR, I have to discuss health insurance with employees fairly often, and it's hard not to go off into angry rants.
Second, we have six (!!!) offers for our house, and we are meeting with the realtors tomorrow to discuss next steps. IT'S REALLY HAPPENING.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That's great, Scrappy!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Awesome, Scrappy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yay Scrappy! That's exciting.
Jesus, the process of having to deal with a doctor's office when you're sick is such a cruel joke.
Yes.

Our wings are not tired.
That is awesome news, Scrappy. So happy to hear this!
When you are done with the house~selling~ma please pass it this way. I have a couple interested parties and would love to sell the house without having to go through the whole listing and open house deal again. Just had a realtor call earlier today to ask permission to show the house later this week to a very interested party even though it isn't currently listed. The electric company is burying the electric lines tomorrow so we asked him to wait until that was done since there is a big ditch in the backyard at the moment.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Maybe I'll ask her to try to light a fire under him for the next one we all do together.
I've definitely also had times when I've started a race with a friend, gone our own speeds partway in, and then met back up at the finish line. (Though usually I'm the slow one in that case! I've never minded being left behind to walk/jog while my running partner runs ahead.)

Horrible auto accident a couple of miles from my office that happened while I was at a convenience store getting snacks—a car-motorcyle collision that killed the cyclist and sprayed debris all over the highway. It wasn't immediately obvious if anyone else was hurt, but the sheriff's deputy on scene was having to hold a frantic woman back.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Just found out Joyce, my favorite aunt, went into hospice today. They're giving her two days to two weeks.
I'm flying to Oakland tomorrow to see her, and will fly back on Saturday.
My sister has only gotten voicemails from my uncle, so we don't know if our aunt is alert and knows what's going on or not. But we're both going anyway.
