Oh, my. This is now the world we live in...

I'm trying to get my bosses to sign onto a plan in which I load my laptop, my bike, and my dog into my hatchback and drive to Colorado, where I crash with my brother's family for a month. Change of scene, change of pace, biking and hiking and games with the kids. Could be great. But I have to get permission to go, and have to figure out how to do a two-day drive safely...

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Atropa, do you still need me to be a decorative piece? I can slounge very well - I've been praticing!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That sounds so nice, Consuela! Good luck with the official okay.

Our wings are not tired.

That sounds good, Consuela. Make it happen.

I'm having a grandson. Had big family joint video call. I'm delighted. My poor MIL though. She has 6 grandsons and now the first great grandchild is a boy too. This be how the Holt genes roll. She's still hoping for a girl someday. I did remind her she could have tea parties with boys and she agreed.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That kind of thing is so funny -- we are mostly girls on both sides of my family!

Congrats!!

Sorry, I didn't mean to post and disappear yesterday. The day got away from me, and ltc didn't fall asleep until very late and today was very stressful, and now she is still not sleeping!

I'm definitely leaning toward trying to rent it. I'll have to make some phone calls tomorrow. I'm worried that if we decide not to go and can't rent it that TCG will be annoyed at the maintenance fee we paid earlier in the year.

Oh never fear! Atropa and I will not be competing. The Vampire Witch Queen and the Queen of Fucking About are bosom allies.

Why do you have to tell them, Consuela? Do they expect you to come into the office at some point?
