I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Nope. Not weird.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

I appreciate the validation, Dana.

I'm still torn.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That is a real dilemma.

Nice nails, Laura! That's fun.

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

Timelies all!

Yesterday Mr. S's behaviour at home and at school was awful. He's been suspended again. He also got hold of scissors and cut the cord for my mouse, and both cables for my printer. Is it bad that I'm looking forward to work tomorrow so I don't have to deal with him much?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Is it bad that I'm looking forward to work tomorrow so I don't have to deal with him much?

Nope! Totally normal parenting impulse.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

So this whole "we're going to cut the power off but we don't know when" thing is extremely frustrating.

The best part is that despite knowing for days that this would happen, PG&E's website with the maps and schedules went down under the strain, and they still haven't put the new one up. Their PR is SHIT.

... hmm, now it looks like the blackout will be at midnight. Fun.

Off to plug in devices and make sure there's a flashlight next to my bed...

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

If I were a customer, I'd be burning effigies in front of PGE HQ. They had HOW LONG before fire season to get this done?

Sheryl, so sorry for the current travails. Sometimes it gets worse before it gets better.

Our wings are not tired.

Tomorrow Step-dad is getting hearth catherization and loop thingy inserted after passing out at home. Sister is getting esophagus opened with some balloon procedure and then botox'd open since it collapsed or some such. Going to be with my sister and other sister is taking care of step-dad.

Me, working on stepping up my diet and exercise game because it is still easier to be the driver and visitor than it is being the patient!

John Bolton is now writing a book. That should be fun, except for the whole having to listen to him on his interview tour.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

There is an assisted living home associated with ltc's school, and the kids went for a visit today. ltc was a big hit sitting with the residents instead of her class and singing to them.
