Timelies all!
~ma to Ouise.
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.
I go online sometimes, but everyone's spelling is really bad. It's... depressing.

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

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

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
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.

Yay, job, Jesse!

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!

Great news, Jesse!
Much health~ma to go around.
Something I get tired of hearing is how Trump is being clever with the way he handles the media. He's not fucking clever, he just lies all the time.
