Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.

not your mom's socks.

Big problems: the obvious ones, Carrie Fisher

Smaller problems: - arghhhh the house sale is becoming problem

- publishing is really hard to deal with today on a very personal level and I'm hoping I made the right decision about something

-I've been working so much I've completely screwed up the holiday

- and all the words that come out of my face today seem to be wrong

Sparky I like your strategy though.

Our wings are not tired.

{{hippocampus}} Sorry the day has been for crap. May tomorrow's problems be boring routine ones.

Today was a day filled with delight. St. Lucia was lush and beautiful. The aromas in the botanical gardens soothed my soul and my body was immersed in mineral baths. Grateful that ND & Pix talked us into going on this cruise. My family and customers will recover from my absence. The only downside is the quantity of food being consumed. I won't be able to get near a scale for 2 weeks after I get home and I will have to avoid my doctor completely!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Carrie Fisher's brother is saying she's in stable condition.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Husband and father are off doing one thing, mother is doing something else, so it's just me and the dog for a couple of hours. Watch the Sense8 Christmas special? Poke around for fic? Try to write a yuletide treat?

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

I want to worry about Carrie Fisher -- she's not even 65 yet! -- but Dad's got pneumonia and is basically non-verbal. Not eating, barely drinking anything. Not great. Smiles a little bit, if you talk to him and he's awake.

So, that's a thing. Damnit. Fuck this year.

I'm sorry, Suela.

Carrie Fisher is SIXTY, another reason why this is NOT ALLOWED.

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.

What a heavy heart you must have right now, Consuela.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I'm so sorry, Consuela.
