Go neighbor kid!!
I went to see Pearl the puppy foster at the shelter after work. She was bigger already, I swear. so so so so bitey. I think I made the right decision to take her back to them.
Why couldn't Giles have shackles like any self-respecting bachelor?

Jesus, Maria, how awful. I'm so sorry for his friends and family (and hers, of course).

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Today has been a day for running away to join the circus. Sadly, I did not run.
I'm trying to figure out if there's some way to convince my boss that 7AM meetings are bad for my headaches and I shouldn't have to attend them any more.
The good news is that one series of meetings is going from every two weeks to every three weeks. The bad news is that with one meeting every two weeks and one every three weeks, there will be one week every six weeks where I have two 7AM meetings that week.
week week week week week week week week

Maria, I was just now able to look at the whitefont on your post. How horrible. Keeping your SO and others affected in my thoughts tonight.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
But you will occasionally have a week with no 7 am meetings, right? Right before and right after the two-meeting week. So that's something.

Oh, Maria how terrible. Keeping your SO and the whole community in my thoughts.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Oh, Maria, how awful. I'm so sorry for your SO and his co-workers, and the poor son.
amyth, I hope your neuro can take care of this without too much stress on you.
And thanks again for the birthday wishes!
I've been glued to cable news and twitter all day. What's happening is... no, I'm out of succinct words for "what the actual fuck". I hardly dare to hope it, but this might, might be the tipping point. The only Republican congressperson I've heard *not* condemning him is Rand Paul. They were even ripping him on Fox, though Hannity will probably continue to genuflect.

Home. Skipped everything. Parents here until Thursday. Which is good & nice, but was so done with even interacting, went & his in my room until they wound down enough to go to bed. And then I came back downstairs. 20+ hrs is a lot, especially after almost 2 weeks, ESPECIALLY when you are THE fearless tour director the last 3 of those days.
And mom's short term is....Uhg. Not getting into it now.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Thank you all. It was confirmed tonight—she was leaving him. So the obvious choice is to do what he did. Whatever. Fuck toxic masculinity and everyone who is mourning a murderer. I'm so proud of SO for calling it out when he sees it. He's swimming against the tide, but there are a few allies that I wouldn't have anticipated.
I can't even deal with 45 and his bullshit. What did you think was gonna happen?
Dana, that still doesn't seem fair. 7 am meetings are of the devil.
Welcome home, Sara. I'm glad the trip went well and I'm also glad your parents went to bed.
