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.
Angel: You know, I killed my actual dad. It was one of the first things I did when I became a vampire. Wesley: I hardly see how that's the same situation. Angel: Yeah. I didn't really think that one through.

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.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Even when it feels very obvious, Ihave worked with, and have friends that are first responders. It is complex

Maria, I am so sorry. It is harrowing.

Our wings are not tired.
Fuck toxic masculinity
Yeah. {{Maria and SO}} Grief is often complex, but it doesn't get much more complex than that level of horror.
They were even ripping him on Fox, though Hannity will probably continue to genuflect.
Apparently they were shocked and mortified during the day but were back to the usual by the evening crew. DH listens to see what they are up to, but I just can't.
Welcome home, sarameg!! I am sure you are completely exhausted. I hope you all sleep, lots.
I think I have recovered from the physical and emotional exertion of the wedding. I pretty much slept all day Sunday. Got home at 3 AM because DH had to drive home a drunken not particularly cooperative guest, with the assistance of others. They refused to bring his car to his house until the next day just in case. He was appropriately mortified and apologetic the next day at least. I got up at 9, made myself a hearty breakfast and coffee, and went right back to bed until early afternoon. Then went out to the venue to pick up some stuff, ordered a pizza on the way home, sat in front of the recorded soccer game and went back to sleep! Got up, and went to bed. Was awake normally yesterday, but still in half functional mode. Today, all better!
Kids get to Otter Lake today. I hope to leave either tonight or in the morning. Still have stuff on the list.
