My old boss was very seriously considering it -- that's how he and his husband were planning vacations, as scouting trips for retirement.
Mal: Can I come in? Inara: No. Mal: See? That's why I usually don't ask.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Does today feel especially bleak or is it just me?

Today just doesn't feel bleak, it is bleak, thanks to the United States Senate, the Greatest Deliberative Body in the World.

I've been in a weird cranky/sad mood all day, well before the Senate vote. I'm not sure what that's about. And it's a stunningly gorgeous day here, too -- perfect for frolicking (or at least taking a walk), but instead I am cross and gritchy and teary.

I'm the same, Tep -- I woke up groggy to a cloudy day, and like you said, way before the Senate vote, everything felt awful. Which was partly walking into work and getting reamed by the tiny French bakery dictator, but still.
I feel like I've been on the edge of tears all day.

Of course, this kind of started yesterday, when I cried at the video for Fiona the hippo's 6-month birthday (she even has her own song, proving that she is indeed the Lil Sebastian of Cincinnati).

I'm all unbalanced because I went to therapy yesterday and only cried a little bit, and it was a great session! And today, blech.

Timelies all!
~ma for your co-worker and her family, quester.
Could I have a little health~ma for my dad? According to my mom, he was feeling sick over the weekend and finally went to the ER today(after my mom out-stubborned him). They took X-rays and found he had an infection in his lung. He's been admitted to the hospital and given antibiotics. Hopefully he'll be able to go home tomorrow.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Went to the dentist in Concord, CA today. At first when I chipped my tooth, the tooth didn't hurt, it was just the pointy part of the tooth cutting into my tongue that hurt. But then my tooth started hurting too, so I started getting worried.
The dentist ground off the pointy part, but it turns out the pain was unrelated to the chip in the tooth. I have a cavity and there's an infection.
I now have antibiotics that should take care of the pain, and since that tooth is a wisdom tooth (that I've had tons of work on over the last 20 years), I'll have to get it extracted when I get back to Chicago.
