Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

~ma to Suzi and msbelle's dad.

-t, what's with the safety pin? Someone else mentioned it but I failed to get the memo, evidently.

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

I texted you because I was concerned, but I don't know if it went through.

I never got it, sj. I'm sorry I worried you, and I'm sorry I didn't text first. Because of post-election drama and other stuff, I never left my house until after 6.

Healing~ma for your dad, msbelle, and sanity~ma for your mom.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

No problem, Maria. I knew you were upset and I was just worried about you driving because that's what I do.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Glad you're having a good day, -t. That's great.

Okay, I just made my Holy-Shit-Trump-Was-Elected appointment with my OB/GYN. I was actually overdue for my annual checkup anyway.

I'm trying to think of things I need to do. I am not a very street smart person. I am not good at strategy. I knew enough to renew my passport a couple months ago but I didn't do anything more than that (mostly because the obvious thing would have been getting financial resources together and I hardly have any of those). I need to go to the med center right now to try to get the labs my doctor ordered 2 weeks ago. And I should see if I can accelerate any healthcare stuff before that gets yanked away. But what things are people doing personally to try to prepare?

The short answer is it's a pin representing safety, Beverly. Started after Brexit as a sign of solidarity with Muslim immigrants, as I understand it [link]

Right. Passport. Still need to do that.

I was considering changing my tagline to "I'm gonna be a fireman when the floods roll back" but then realized mine was still wildly relevant to some of the comments I'm seeing out there.

Our wings are not tired.

At the dentist so limited ability to copy paste and so forth is not happening. Much love and ~ma. Looks like my back molar will get a shiny gold crown. They say I grind too much for porcelain. Between my mom and this election the teeth grinding is not getting better. Also they are doing an implant to put a tooth where nature didn't provide one. That should be interesting.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

A friend of mine just posted "If there's no great glorious end to all this, if nothing we do matters... , then all that matters is what we do. 'Cause that's all there is. What we do. Now. Today." on FB and tagged someone else as the only person he knows who'd be able to ID the quote without google. I am insulted!

Correct that misapprehension stat!
