Ugh is right, Jess.
ltc is home, fed, and napping. She was having so much fun on the slide when I got there that I bribed her with my phone to get her home. Nap now, then inlaws.
You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Ann, that's a ferret.
All condolences, Consuela and family.

Oh, so sorry, Consuela and family. Much peace and comfort to you all.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Consuela, that's just tragic and unthinkable. I'm so sorry for your family.

Consuela, that's horrible. I'm so sorry for you and your family.

I'm about to pull the trigger on another 5k, I think, by myself again (my friend was interested, but the timing isn't working for her). It's called the Aloha Run and the medal has a turtle and a mermaid. [link] (It's possible that my state of mind is such that the mermaid is what's making up my mind for me). I've been torn because it's the same weekend as Who Con and I didn't want to have to choose. But I think I've talked myself into trying to do both. I feel like the last few months...years...?...when my mom is hospitalized my life is all Work and the Hospital/Rehab, and when she's not hospitalized my life is all Work and my DVR. I live inside my head too much (even to the point of hardly posting here), and I think I need to Get Out Among the Humans more. I have another 5k the following weekend (Bubble Run, with friends), and I'm probably going to see In the Heights (LMM's previous show) the next weekend as well, but I'm trying not to let the prospect of being physically & mentally tired out stop me.
I think I was already in Say Yes to More Things mode (in theory), but I just wandered over to one of the Goodbye & Good Riddance threads and I was reading about other peoples' travel and whatnot and it's really reinforcing that I need to Get Out There more, even if just locally (and here) to start. Anyway, just felt like sharing that with you guys. So many of you will Get It better than my local crew.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Consuela, I am so sorry.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Epic, FWIW, I highly recommend getting out there more, even if you have to hibernate again in between Adventures. That's what I do. It's good for people like us.

I have just sent a vicious email to the insurance agent who is sending mail to my beloved at my new address. He obviously got the address from a utility that got moved to the address but still had Hubby's name on it. I told the agent in my best formal, edged language to stop trying to get money out of my dead husband. Granted, this agent isn't targeting me, he's just doing mass mailings, and he's the victim of the bad mood I'm in after an 11-hour day at work, but I have decided to start responding to the people who are working off mailing lists because I'm tired of seeing my beloved's name in my mail box.
Plus, what kind of businessman thinks spreading his name of Shay D. Conyer is a good idea? Honestly, the first time I saw it I thought it was a pun.

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.
Shay D. Conyer has put All other thoughts and comments out of my head.
I can snuggle Hurricane Purrmiester two more minutes then must go to work. May all of you have some moments that make you as peaceful today.
