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

Sorry to hear that, Scrappy. How is the substitute teaching going?

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

Nothing happening during the summer, so money is tight, but fall is just around the corner. Our COBRA coverage ends next March, and we need to figure out health insurance before then.

Oh, right, summer.

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

Good luck, Scrappy! How are you settling in otherwise?

I'm so tired that I accidentally turned on the coffee machine last night while I was prepping it for this morning. I'm going to spend a lot of quality time sleeping this weekend.

Things are going more smoothly on giant project eating my life, so yay?

Settling in very well. We love it here!

Had my mom drop me at the airport two and a half hours early because I was so done.

I hope it's a pleasant airport to be waiting around in, meara.

I hope you get plenty of rest and your life back soon, shrift

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Something nice - I live in one of the few buildings that allows pets; since I don't have a pet of my own, I make friends with my neighbors' dogs. With a few exceptions, it's lovely - they appreciate a little extra affection and I get my puppy love. One, who lives down the hall from me, is an elderly French Bulldog. when she sees me at a time when she crosses paths with me, she'll stop, sit down and refuse to move until she's received an acceptable level of petting and ear rubs. This morning was one such time - her person was getting out of the elevator as I was leaving my apartment and the dog sat and WAS NOT MOVING until she received her morning homage. So I rubbed her ears, scritched her head and told her she was a good dog. When she'd had enough (or at least enough for the moment), she agreed to get up and walk into her home. And I toddled off to work.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Jeeeeeesus, is it raining.
