"if you hit the river you went too far."
Well, in general, if you hit a river, you've probably made an error somewhere.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I feel like the most impressive part about Tammy Duckworth giving birth as a sitting senator is that she is 50!
(Not that I am likely to have any children at 40-whatever, never mind magically having one younger!)
If I ever get back to dating, and somehow find a partner, it seems likely that I could magically have one younger! I.e., become a stepmom to kids who already exist.

It's a Bring Your Kid/Horde to Work day here. I am problematic around kids at the best of days, but I know I just have to cope out in public. I thought I was safe at work. But there are high-pitched voices everywhere, echoing up through the atrium, and they're running and giggling through the call floor as their parents hush at them helplessly. Cackling children send me straight to a Children of the Corn place, and Hubby spent a lot of time reinforcing that I can't hipcheck them as they plow past me.
I would not be a good choice as a babysitter.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
There is a very small puppy here. There is also a child here, but she is quiet.

I can breathe. The fire's still going, but there is enough wind to keep the air moving. There's a part of Zelazny's Lord of Light where the Holy Assassin talk about how no one writes sonnets to breath, but no one can survive without it.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOD. I just signed on for a permatemp position as a middle school language arts teacher. It's from August 29th to October 31st. This is great, because once I get certified ,this school may want hire me on full time, and if not, this gives me strong experience to use to look for a full-time position. Still, I have two weeks to get ready and learn the curriculum and prepare lesson plans and learn all the software and and and. I am excited and terrified!

Our wings are not tired.
Very exciting, Scrappy ! Congrats.
Quiet Friday here. I had a funeral to attend earlier for a best friend of my oldest sister. The woman had been bedridden for years following strokes, so mostly it was relief that she was free from pain. It was nice to see old family friends.
Now I want to nap.

Congratulations, Scrappy!
A nap sounds wonderful, Laura. I've only been back from vacation a few days, but I'm already running a sleep debt, what with one thing and another.

That's so awesome, Scrappy! Good luck!

Yay scrappy! I'm getting a haircut shortly, but have very few plans this weekend. Maybe I'll go to the movies!
