Jayne: Yeah, that was some pretty risky sittin' you did there. Wash: That's right, of course, 'cause they wouldn't arrest me if we got boarded, I'm just the pilot. I can always say I was flying the ship by accident.

Yay, I get to go home early today! I can get to the store and get home before the rain rolls in. We're supposed to get 3-5 inches of snow over the weekend, and I want to have goodies on hand so I can nosh and drink tea and watch LotR all weekend.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I completely refuse to let this fucking year have Carrie Fisher.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

You ARE the nicest!

The boy child, yes, 20-year old child, is registered for the Spring semester, his books are ordered, and he just needs to figure out how to pay his tuition (his financial aid is in a knot at the moment). But this is farther than he got last semester. I had to prod him, not too hard but without prodding it wouldn't have gotten done.

Was talking with one of my PMs about our kids - we had our second children about the same time and even bumped into eachother at Children's Hospital when each were inpatients (CJ, after his spinal surgery and her son with a crazy high temp). She has the same issue with her kids - one is highly motivated and organized, the other needs prodding to get anything accomplished.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I did homemade gifts for my staff - skin goop. And then the ladies at the group home wanted to invite my supervisor, and my supervisor's supervisor, and the nurse, and the new staff member's new baby and .... I felt weird not having someone for everyone who came to the party. It was fuckin' 13 below, and they came out to our party, they deserve a prize. I figured, it's a homemade gift, that's not too over-the-top.

Sending out the vibes for Carrie Fisher, because I do not choose to contemplate a world without her in it.

So I ran out of parchment paper, which I need to make my cake. Do I go to the store now or in the morning? Uggghhhhh.
