Birthday Happies, Tom!!
Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Cohabitation between guinea pigs and constrictor snakes doesn't sound to me like a recipe for lasting harmony.
Probably extra-harmonious for the snake, though.

Tom, I was really tempted to come to the Ohio stop of Scolapalooza, but my stupid anxiety prevented it.
I hae about three weeks of vacation time--maybe I should use some of it before my job goes away.
ION, finally done with a first-draft of a resume. Once I really dug in to work on it, I made good progress and my anxiety level dropped. Last night I was reviewing the things I've done at my current job over the last 21 years, and I realized I could add: "Developed custom software to manage final construction of five billion dollar offshore oil rig."
I had almost forgotten about that.

Awww, it would have been great to see you again! But I also totally understand anxiety getting in the way.

Hooray for the 21st Century! The reference librarians at the tiny public library in my small rural hometown have an email form right on their website. Which makes immense sense in a rural area, it's much simpler to email the library than schlepping into town. I've emailed them a request for resources on finding land and mineral rights info. Fortunately the documentation on the lease has the tax parcel number and the reference to the deed book location.
(god, I wish I'd had time to take Hubby back there to show him where I came from)

I'd say that's definitely worth including on a resume, Tommy!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'm really vicariously enjoying the trail of fun Scolapalooza is bringing to Buffistas as Tom makes his way across the country.
Right? That part is almost as good as actually getting see the Scola himself!
Impressive, tommyrot!
Good luck, Connie! That sounds like a big step forward.
I think I just took all my once-a-day meds for the second time today. Oops. Well, probably won't be too bad just this once.

Oops, thanks for the reminder. I did fine with the malaria pills while I was traveling but I am being super crappy about remembering them now. (You take these ones for 7 days following your return. They also have a 30-days-post variety which would give me lots more opportunities to screw up.)
