Meanwhile, here at home, every single state in Australia is currently on fire. The government is trying to outlaw protests against climate change.
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

'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"
I'm so glad for you Sophia!
Gud, I'm so glad to hear from you. I wish you could see yourself from my perspective, and feel how much respect and confidence I have in you!

Gud, thank you for checking in! We worry about you. Please do find the time to call your company's EAP or another resource. We can help if you'll let us!
Congratulations, Sophia! We helped, but you did all the heavy lifting!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Ugh, billytea, I'm sorry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Double yays, Sophia!!!

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Excellent news, and an excellent compliment, Sophia!

Good luck, bt, and his home continent.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Sophia, you absolute Star! Congratulations and wooHOO!
Billytea, I'm so sorry. I keep catching glimpses of the news--globally--I can't take more than glimpses, and I'm just horrified at the state of your country. Are you and all of yours safe? For now and the foreseeable future?
Sympathies for the caffeine deprived.
And amyth, every good possible thought streaming your way nonstop.
Gud, so good to hear from you. Please don't drop communication, we're all concerned about you.
And ltc, pleeeeease give your momma a break, okay kiddo? And get better, not just feel better. Both would be good.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Sophia, I'm in awe of everything you've accomplished, and so happy for you!
billytea, sending lots of sympathy from a US state that is all too frequently on fire.
sj, I'm sorry you're so wrung out but glad the doctor diagnosed it this fast--when Matilda had walking pneumonia a couple of years ago, it took her doctors forever to pin it down and get her on the meds she needed. I hope ltc and you both get some rest and recovery soon.

Things are afoot in the world of my family and job, but nothing about me getting a new job.
