And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

Laura, I'm hoping for the best.

mac, nooooooo.

Our wings are not tired.

Mac, Mac, Mac. Need to send you and my eldest off to get a clue school!

Yawn. Up. Gave dog her diuretics and other meds in a gravy filled bowl of food, but no interest in eating it yet. She has gone outside 3 times already. Yay for weather that allows me to just leave the back door to the yard open for her.

Kids! Parents! Pets! Maybe there is something to be said for the hermit life.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Thanks, everyone.

Gud, I'm so sorry for the loss of your wonderful doggie.

Laura, hoping for the best outcome for sweet Zoe.

mac, no! wtf young man. Bad decision.

meara, quit falling down. That's my advice. Things are much better when we don't fall down.

Speaking of which, I'm watching one of those candid-video "People Falling Down" episodes and wondering how the human species has survived so long. I also wonder how all these people can fall off moving vehicles and buildings and *checks screen* Porta-Potties and be *fine* and I broke my ankle tripping over a piece of wood.

Kids! Parents! Pets! Maybe there is something to be said for the hermit life.

Mo' creatures, mo' problems.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I can't say it better than Zen:

My computer at home is really crapping out -- several letters aren't working, shift and enter are both iffy -- so I emergency-ordered a Black Friday special. I basically got the cheapest one with any storage in it, because did you know cheap laptops now have as much of a hard drive as my phone?? (OK, more than my phone, but that's because I have a cheaper phone, too.) I know "everything is streaming/in the cloud" now, but what am I supposed to do with my music? I got rid of the CDs, so now it lives in my computer. Changing technology is annoying.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh no, sympathies to all that need them.

Hugs and ~ma all around this morning.

ltc's new teachers seem nice. One of them I knew from after school activities. The other is new to the school.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

mac will eventually make good decisions...... growing up is particularly sucky but he has come pretty far in terms of things you worry about.

meara, no more hurting yourself. How's the wrist today?

Gud, sorry about the dog. It's awful to lose a buddy.

Laura, what is happening with Zoe today?

I have all the things to grade and really really really don't want to.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

My heart hurts for all the injured and grieving Buffistas out there.
