Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Happy Birthday, sj! Uh, sorry about the crying?

I'm not using it right now, but work pays for my monthly transit pass and my transit credit card expired at the end of June. I called and asked the provider to mail me a replacement card because they should have sent me one automatically before it expired, but clearly that didn't happen. I opened the letter today and found a replacement healthcare debit card, which I didn't need for another three years. So on Monday I get to call them again and politely ask what the hell.

My new work desk arrived today in five separate packages. Fingers crossed that its assembly doesn't drive me to tears this weekend.

Aaaand my Dad is in the ER again.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

What? Noooooo. The goal is no ER, not ER again.

Oh, no shrift! I'm so sorry.

Happy birthday, sj!

Health~ma to your dad, shrift.

With the incredibly flimsy excuse of keeping the battery topped up, I went on a two hour drive through the countryside this afternoon. It was a beautiful, sunny day, and if it was hot, well, the AC worked.

Our wings are not tired.

Dad~ma! And also desk assembly~ma

Ditto

I am sitting on my front porch in Otter Lake. Bright moon in the sky. A few neighbors setting off fireworks. Have several LED candles, a glass of wine, and my nook at hand. It's cool and peaceful and I wish I could share the calm.

Went for a drive earlier through mountain farmlands and way up to the windmill farms. So peaceful.

Thanks. We're waiting to see if they'll be able to release him or if he'll need to be admitted overnight.

Also, I took a look at the boxes my desk came in and apparently there are supposed to be six boxes. Hopefully there's another box downstairs that I overlooked, otherwise this isn't an auspicious beginning.

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

Yeah, and she's just getting to the point where all of it makes her cry. She's very sensitive.

As Emmett likes to note, Matilda once broke into tears because she was afraid Curious George was going to get in trouble for being naughty.

But now she is a callous sarcastic 13 year old and she can even watch horror movies.
