Aaaaand now upgrade is being floated for Monday. Which I think is a mistake; better to get a waiver to do it next week. If this storm adds up to anything, if we run into problems (which we probably will, it's damned complicated) there won't be a lot of folk available until later in the week.

Ahhhrg.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh no, -t. A doctor visit does not sound like a bad idea.

And oh geez, sara.

I'm just hoping the storm blows out to sea. I don't want a big snow!

A coworker just named her new daughter Calliope Cosme familyhonorificname Mirkat Dadlastname momlastname. I'd judge on behalf of the kid filling out forms, but the couple is Russo-Spanish and sticking with ALL their family naming traditions* and I love the geeky reasoning behind the non-family tradition names (Mirkat was first choice for a fname, peaceful kitten, but it kept turning into meerkat, so...)

  • which actually dictates she should have 3 middle names, plus both parents' names!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I discovered Buffy because my BF kept telling me I would love this new show he was watching. He kept pushing and pushing. The first episode I saw was Graduation Day Part One and I was instantly hooked. Reader, I married him.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

The snow has begun in Chicago. The drive home tonight was fun. Clearly they're waiting until closer to the morning rush to get the snow plows out.

The Reynauds is bad today so I am now holding a mug of hot water to warm up my fingers. I have to keep reminding myself not to sip.

-t, I hope you feel better quickly.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Remember my problematic "friend"? We're done. I blew up when she told me she didn't want me touching her because I'm "gay" and she's not comfortable with that. She didn't understand why I was upset. "Well, I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings." Oh hell no. I'm not hurt, I'm mad. She was all, "But it's okay! I'm fine with it! I just don't want you to touch me!" Oh you're fine with it? Guess what. I'm not. She said some other shit too. Why the hell would she think I'd want to be friends after that.

And you know, "bisexual" was just beyond her ability to comprehend, I guess, so I didn't even get into it. That's the last damn time I open up to someone over a bottle of wine. Although if I hadn't I wouldn't know this about her and I'm glad I do. Saved me from getting too deep into a disastrous relationship.

Friends who end up not being so are very distressing.

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.

Zenkitty, I can't even.

What a jerk! I'm sorry, Zenkitty.
