Early: So is it still her room when it's empty? Does the room, the thing, have purpose? Or do we -- what's the word? Simon: I really can't help you. Early: The plan is to take your sister. Get the reward, which is substantial. 'Imbue.' That's the word.

Our wings are not tired.

Clearly passing the kid is more important than anything else.

Without a doubt. The current bureaucratic system punishes the teacher for a failing kid so they will pass one way or another.

Now awaiting about a million FB messages from son and GF about the interview. For the last week she has been tutoring him on Tesla history, bought him clothes with the popular logos for the environment, and generally prepping him for a super entry level position. She has been there a couple years and has advanced several times. When she started they had to give her a waiver because she was too young to be allowed to even test drive the cars per corporate policy. She is a huge fan of her employer, and the rise in her stock hasn't hurt her opinion any.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Fingers crossed, Laura! That would be cool.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

So the furnace-boiler-hot-water-heater started making loud noises last night, and the water pressure in it was basically 0, which can't be good. It's like there really is a Detect Connie Has Extra Money curse.

At least it's in the 60s here.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Good luck to your son, Laura.

Several nearby mountain ranges have between 300-500% of the typical snow pack for this time of year. Temperatures will be in the 80s for the next few days. Surf's up!

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Why am I having especially deep angst? Is that a side effect of surgery?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I think (though I'm not positive) that's pretty normal after surgery. I've heard it attributed to the anesthesia leaving your system, though I honestly don't know what the timeline is on that. It seems like it would be gone by now.

I know you weren't taking percocet very long, so I doubt it's withdrawal, but stopping opioids can mess with your mood.

Basically, you just went through a big ol' surgery. There may be emotional fallout. Go with it, and be kind to yourself.

Huh. "Post-surgery blues."

Although this is only limited comfort right now, as I cry over the new picture of General Leia. Goddamn you, Annie Leibovitz and Tumblr.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

meara, Harlots is on Hulu. It is about women working as prostitutes in 18th century London. It's surprisingly good. Written, Directed and Produced by women. I heard it has an all female crew too, but I don't know for sure. Samantha Morton is so compelling in it.

The current bureaucratic system punishes the teacher for a failing kid so they will pass one way or another.

Yes. Hence me.
