Inspired by you guys, I grabbed an archive thread to read today, but I went Firefly instead of Natter. The comments before the show even started are remarkable. You people are GD prescient.
So sorry about your kitty friend, Sophia. But she clearly had a good, long life with you. I know though, still hurts.
Had a salad (chef, no cheese) for lunch. Originally was thinking burrito, then remembered all the lemon sorbet (so good!) I had after dinner last night and decided to be a bit more circumspect with my calories. And it's good!
Good luck with the surgery, Zen.
OK, I think the only work I'm going to do the rest of today is start drafting my out-of-office email to my backups.
Thought I'd share where I know people will understand and appreciate: just got an email that my RBG action figure has shipped!
Thanks for the offer, lisah! I'll definitely keep it in mind as we get closer to the date and I plan my DC travel.
There's work I really need to finish, but I can't focus today. And part of the reason why I need to get it done is because my team is going to Sonoma tomorrow.
Epic, that's exciting.
I wasn't on the Beta until after, because I remember reading you all talking about the day after the fact. And Sara's fine, just a back-to-school sinus infection with a terrible cough. The hard-ass nurse at school actually called me to come get her.
Okay, it's all mush in my brain now. I remember your board name there and thinking you probably weren't as old as you thought you were when you chose it, wrt posting on a Buffy board (because same here).
Poor Sara. Sinus stuff is of the suck. When the school nurse pays attention, you know the cough is bad.
My uncle died over the weekend. His funeral is tomorrow. The death notice in the paper misspelled his last name in the header. It's right throughout (i.e. when they mention other family members).
I think it's making me want to cry more than I cried when I got the news that he passed. (I'm not cold. I cried at his passing. This thing is making me angry almost-cry, but I hold it in, because it's stupid, and then I get a headache. Then I forget about it. Then I remember. Lather. Rinse. Repeat.)
To be brutally honest, I hate smartphones and the loss of keyboard culture. I hate Twitter and Facebook gives my ADHD hives. I'm deeply suspicious of putting my banking, my writing, my photos, and my personal ramblings on/in/at (you choose) the cloud. I hate losing track of people, I mourn diaspora.
Is there room for me in the cranky corner, Beverly?
I can't believe that the Buffistas haven't talked about the most Buffista adjacent political news of the last 48-hours.
Cynthia Nixon's bagel order caused a social media meltdown

Sue, was it RIO, or someone else with the: "Eat a muffin, whitey" remark?
I'm sorry I'm so posty today. I promise I'm not trying to make up for the X years I wasn't here or only lurked and popped it.
In my defense, I'm pretty sure last night, msbelle told us to be posty.
Aw, Cindy, I'm sorry.
Ha! I applaud her owning the bagel of wrongness. Adding the lox brings it back around to ok, for me.
I'm not a fan of onions or fish or raisins, so there's no way I'll try it, but I guess if that's your deal, have at it.
