Ann, that's a ferret.

Karl, I'm glad that all at least ended well.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh wow, Karl! I'm so glad you got to the folks who could help.

Our wings are not tired.

Thank you for taking care of yourself, Karl! So good that you are fixed up and have a plan for many healthy years to come.

It's Monday! I am in Otter Lake, with the heat running.

Oh my, Karl! I'm so glad you didn't let it go.

Hi, Laura!

My baby starts swim class at camp today. I'm a little nervous.

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

Yikes, Karl. So glad you're OK.

Fun! Some of my favorite memories are from the kids swim classes. They were both absolute fish. The instructors have fun games they play.

She's never been in the water, and also she's very difficult to change clothes. So I'm nervous for her and for the instructors.

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

I hope it's a good experience for her, sj.

Glad you were well taken care of Karl!

Hope you feel better, msbelle. That sounds like how I was feeling a couple of weeks ago - my doc said it was probably a virus. Clear liquid diet (jello, broth, fruit juice and gatorade, basically) for a few days helped me; don't know if it was actually necessary or even did any good, but seemed to cause my system less suffering than actual food.

I desperately want to be asleep, but I am at work. Even if I wanted to work from home or call in sick today, my water will be off all day while the irrigation district fixes a leak so probably not a good idea. Excited about not having water running into the gutter from my yard any more, though!

I'm in a weird place at work this week, not a lot to do, but on-call for what could be a lot of last-minute questions. I should get started on "summer projects," I guess, or at least prep for my new hire who's coming in a few weeks...

I'm glad things worked out, Karl. Goodness.

I hope the swimming lessons go well, sj. It's a great skill to have, and the sooner kids master the basics the better.
