I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I mean, I think those might be my issues, but maybe have a card you can hand out with a sign up to get more information, and then have a volunteer do it?

Has anyone else done the Clifton Strengths Finder? I am finding it helpful right now because my biggest strength is "Acquisition": People exceptionally talented in the Input theme have a need to collect and archive. They may accumulate information, ideas, artifacts or even relationships.

I am facing the problem with the acquisition strength right now

I am trying to use my number four- Strategic People exceptionally talented in the Strategic theme create alternative ways to proceed. Faced with any given scenario, they can quickly spot the relevant patterns and issues.

Anyway, I think this dude needs to find someone who complements his strengths.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And honestly, I bet the full-time job (our City Council is part-time) and small children would have been a more compelling excuse to give my mother.

Still, figure out how to do your job, though.

Also, Jesse, please thank anyone who donated to you. Seriously, just not having to worry so much about money has calmed me down from rabid chihuahua to concerned pug.

You are so welcome! It is literally the least we can do.

I guess literally the least we could do is nothing, but the point stands.

concerned pug

The image of you as a concerned pug is freaking ADORABLE.

Because books.

calmed me down from rabid chihuahua to concerned pug.

This is the cutest thing ever. And I am also so wonderfully proud of you. You attacked this problem! And I think therapy will be a lot different now than in your 20s, if you're anything like me.

Also, I wish I could send you Brendon Urie singing Disney songs, just because.

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

Go, Sophia! You've been a very productive concerned pug.

The fires are so very worrisome. We really need an Unfuck Your Climate plan.

Thanks for all the birthday happies!

I'm still angry about the Trump visit. He essentially invited himself in, shat on the carpet, and walked away with a bunch of the silver.

I did see many people headed toward the tower with protest signs as I was headed out for my rental pickup. That cheered me a little. Coming back in I was routed to Lower Wacker which I haaaate. I don't know where I am when I'm down there.
