Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

Yay Strix! Good sleep makes such a big difference in one's life.

Congratulations, Strix!

Yay birthday week!

Doing nothing with the three days I'm in the ofice this week sounds AWESOME. This huge cup of coffee is no substitute for the nap I really want (I don't really want a nap, I want to still be asleep. I was having vivid and almost coherent dreams about convincing the US to bail out of capitalism - not restful and not satisfying to wake up from)

Ann, that's a ferret.

Congrats, Strix!

I am in office only two days this week! I'm very excited about that.

This article made me side eye so hard. I totally understand and respect being stealth whenever you need. But REPUBLICAN?? Are you ducking kidding me?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Good news: Rescuers found a group of Thai boys and their coach who had gone missing 9 days ago. They were exploring a cave system that flooded. Everyone was still alive.

Our wings are not tired.

That is beautiful news, Dana.

I am empty nested! Brendon moved into his own apartment yesterday. He had nothing but an air mattress in the place at the moment, but he stayed there last night. His days off are tomorrow and Wednesday so we'll go a thrifting.

Oh good! When I heard about that on the radio it didn't sound very hopeful.

From meara's article:

Everyone loves you, until they know a little bit about you, and then they're all whispering about you at church.

That just struck me as so accurate.

The whole article makes me so sad.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Yay sleep!

Happy Birthday Week!

Boo car A/C.

Yay days off.

Yay empty nest!

I only have the 4th off, but the week seems like it might be fairly calm.

Mac is getting dreads started in his hair today. Because he has such loose soft curls it will be a slightly different process than normal locking, but I watched several videos of combing twisting and maintenance last night so at least feel like I have a beginner knowledge. I need to get him a cap to sleep in.

Neat.

I left my phone at home, forgot to take my meds, and really wish everyone around me would just not.

I am not that into July so far.
