It just feels weird.
I'm still not entirely over the very sudden death of my major undergrad prof a year after I graduated, and that was 25 years ago. It's hard to overstate what a great teacher can mean to your life.
I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Just learned he died tonight, as I was replying to another prof.
For me, for this, it isn't really grief. Lots of distance between me & college years. Just the void of another piece of my past gone & no one gets to create any new memories.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Glad your cat is okay, Calli.
I am depressed. No, maybe not depressed. Just, in the doldrums? IDK. It's been nigh impossible to do anything for nearly 2 weeks. I'm bored and restless and exhausted and sleeping way toomuch. Yeah, okay, I'm depressed. I think it's the cold and the lack of sunlight. Tomorrow it's supposed to be almost warm, I should go for a walk or something.

Oy. So, for Christmas every year my parents give us a check. I told my sister I would take her to Mexico with me, and figured I'd basically use that money to do it. So tonight I'm texting with her, going back and forth, and book a place for a week, and buy her plane ticket, and mine. Spend ALL the Money! ...and then I check the mail and find a letter saying "you did mobile deposit on this check but we reversed the deposit because it wasn't a good enough quality image". ACK. So then I had to go run around the house and try to figure out if I still had the check so I could try to re-deposit it! (Luckily I did find it)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Yikes, meara!
I'm sorry, Zen. I hope the weather cooperates, a walk sounds like a good idea. You have reminded me to turn on my Happy Light, so thanks for that.

I've got to go chip at the ice on my sidewalk, but I'm waiting for the sun to do some work. It's kinda bad out there.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Working from home today, so I haven't been outside. But it's very foggy around here -- starting to lift.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It's so warm here! I didn't even wear my heavy coat. By which I mean 34 F. It's going to be a slushfest for the next couple of days.

Am grateful for the yak trax I got last year on sale at REI! Sidewalks are still a mess out there. But even watching the dog slip and slide as we walked her was stressful. Even if she didn't care.

I am sitting at home waiting for the FedEx delivery of my new phone, because it needs to be signed for, and their office hours match my work hours. Yay, day off work, boo, I really want to go back to bed but I know as soon as I do they'll knock.
