ION, my mother made that chocolate/caramel/matzoh stuff with crystallized ginger, and it's literally all I can do not to finish it off right now. I'm kind of offended that people call it "crack," but I GET IT.
She didn't even touch her pumpkin. It's a freak with no face.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Coding and Sleeping
This weekend I replaced the front brake pads on my car, put together two bookshelves, helped my daughter with calculus, replaced basically everything in one of our toilets, did laundry, cooked, went to pharmacy, went to grocery store, went to pet store, and urgent care for a tendon problem in my elbow. Now I need to pay some bills and set up some SSL certificates. It has been busy.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Wow, Gud. THAT is productive. We packed boxes, packed more boxes, went and picked up our U-Haul Pod box, hired two very nice day laborers to help load it, and they filled it up. Then J drove it back to put it in storage, and brought another one and they filled it again. We offered our sad old couch to the laborers and they took it in addition to their pay. Then our realtor came over and we discussed what else we need to do to prep the house for pictures for its online listing. Oh, and did laundry and rearranged the backyard furniture.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Catching up on last season's The Americans inspired me to re-watch The Day After which I haven't seen since it aired in 1983, when I was Paige's age. You know what I didn't have access to in 1983 at age 15? Whiskey.

Oh, Liese, I'm so sorry. I hope all of this upheaval turns out great for you (and remember that even when you're doing something you chose, change is hard!).

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.
Lots of love to you in this difficult time, Liese.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'm sorry, Liese. I hope it's as painless as it can be.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
{{{Liese}}} Love you, honey.

Liese, I'm sorry. Lots of good thoughts headed your way.

What they said, Liese. I'm sorry, but I hope it works out for the best.
