Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Skiing is wayyyyyy better than coughing. Or so I guess, as someone who has never beeing skiing and does not particularly want to. I hope you are on the mend soon, Consuela.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I woke up this morning thinking "at last it's Saturday!" Sometimes my subconscious is a cruel bench.

Thanks, jesse and Windsparrow.

having hot flashes when you're sick is no fun.

I ought to set up my new laptop so I can log into the office but I don't have the energy.

Laura, be kind to yourself: a new exercise program always makes one sore. There's no shame in starting slow, rather than going hard and then giving up.

So apparently we have a new Secretary of State, and the new head of CIA is a torturer. I begin to suspect we're in the darkest timeline...

Our wings are not tired.

And another White House staffer escorted out without his coat or anything else. I keep hoping that we are at the far end of the pendulum swing to crazyland and that sanity will prevail at some point. It would be a bonus if the swing can happen without a great depression or riots, or both.

Laura, be kind to yourself

You as well, I know it isn't easy to make time for being sick but taking care of it early is best. I am by far the oldest and heaviest in the group, so I get to follow geriatric rules. When they are all on one knee doing to free weight I am standing. When they jump up in burpees I walk one leg then the other. I get through the hour pacing myself that way. In another month I expect I will be able to do a lot more. Just doing what I can. My heart rate was 120-130 most of the time, so pretty damn good for my age.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

That is an impressive headline.

I hate waking up feeling shitty. Like, yesterday I ended up feeling fine after painkillers, but I really hate waking up already feeling like crap. Also, that it's almost 8am and I'm just seeing the sun rise now. Boo. Grump grump grump.

Wow, that is a helluva headline!

Agreed, meara. That is the worst.

I think I have been Words with Friendsing too much because I read the headline and thought about how many points that would be.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

My mom's in the hospital. She has pneumonia and the flu--on top of the, you know, cancer. Poor thing. I was just there and she was doing well, and I guess she got sick right when I left. i am mulling over going back down there--she sounds terrible.

Aw, mom of Scrappy, that sounds rough.
