Aww, crap. A lot of ~ma Ouise's way.
This shit can let up any time now...
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

I'm home with Mr. S. The doctor said to keep him home today, but he can go back to daycare tomorrow. He's got antibiotics and eye drops.

Poor Mr S. I hope he's feeling better soon.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I was up at 6:20 for a meeting, and I am already so over this day.
Had my postponed chorus audition last night, for all the good postponing did. I still sang like crap, which was really embarrassing. I managed to pull it out in the sight-reading, so I'll start with them at the end of February.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You'll be great, Dana!
So.... I did get the job! The salary offer isn't as much as I want, but if they can come up just a tad, I'll be happy. It's contingent on them talking to my current boss, which I think is TOTAL BULLSHIT, but OK. I mean, it's bullshit if they would ever pull the offer after I've already given notice, because how else could they talk to my current supervisor?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Go Jesse! That seems like a weird contingency unless the organizations are connected in some way.
I am against this whole sickness and mortality thing. Enough is enough.
I went to bed before 9 last night and still could not drag myself out of bed this morning. I'm at work, but no shower and no breakfast, I guess it's good I managed pants. And I think I have enough change in my purse to get something for lunch out of the vending machine. What a stupid day.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Yeah, I'm worried today because it looks like my mom's lung cancer has moved to her bones. Not a good sign, but we knew this was likely, given that she has not accepted treatment (it's her third go-round with cancer--she's had surgery and chemo twice before and decided at age 86, that she'd rather not go through it again). They aren't 100% certain yet, but it looks extremely likely.
She meets with her oncologist on Thursday and we find out more. I am less worried about her dying, which we've all known is coming, than I am about her being in pain. Here's hoping there is ameliorative treatment so that she can continue to enjoy her life.

Because it deserves its own post--congrats on the job, Cowgirl!
