I was just talking to my sister - it's her 45th birthday today, she celebrated by (among other things) getting progressive lenses. But what I was coming in here to tell y'all is: she ordered a couple of little salt tea lamps off of Etsy, but what was delivered to her was 6 big salt lamps, which she would have sent back but, you know, heavy and expensive to ship and when she finally was able to contact the shop they told her to just keep them. We decided she needs to set them all up in a circle around herself while she meditates. That should work to protect her from demons, right?

I'm sorry, Consuela. It's so hard. When you have time for hugs and some distraction, let us know.

Yes. At least, that's what it says in the handbook, which reads like stereo instructions.
Laura, I'm very flattered that swooping, swirling birds made you think of me.

I am sorry to hear of your father's death, Consuela. I was afraid that was what had happened when I saw the photo earlier.
Neil Degrasse Tyson lost his father this week, too - the same age as Suela's and also a New Yorker. He sounds fairly cool. [link]

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Oh god, I feel worse than yesterday. If today is somehow an indicator of what's to come in 2017, I'm going to spend the whole year sounding like Harvey Fierstein.

I'm with you in being sick Dana. I did make it to work but I did too much or something and almost threw up a few times and then came home.
I haven't been too congested just really really tired.

Consuela, I'm so sorry for your loss. So much love to you and your sister and your family.
