Angel: Eve. So, I guess we should, I don't know, talk? Eve: About what? Angel: About what happened back there with us. Eve: Angel, it's not like this is the first time I've had sex under a mystical influence. I went to U.C. Santa Cruz.

meara, we clearly need to protect you with many layers of bubble wrap.

Laura, I am so sorry. I have been there, years ago, I took my cat Pico in for a procedure to drain what we thought was an abscess only to find it was bone cancer. It was heartbreaking. My love to you and the family.

So shopping during the Mercury retrograde is going as well as you would think. (I don't even believe in it. Or do I?) Friday, a pair of boots I ordered were marked "out for delivery". Only to have a mysterious "weather event" force the delivery truck back to the garage right around supper time. They arrived today though, and they're not the brand advertised on the website (a reliable Cdn winter boot brand) but store brand (Naturalizer). They're also supposed to be wide-calf and 8W, which is what the box says, but the boots say 8M. I returned them to the store and didn't even get an apology from the salesperson.

Then my one package that's actually a gift was shipped via Canada Post, which is in the middle of a labour dispute and is staging rotating strikes. I've heard they're a month behind on packages. Miraculously, that package was also supposed to be out for delivery today. Until Halifax staff walked off the job. Womp. Womp. I'm hoping it'll arrive tomorrow.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

meara, fingers are crossed.

Oh Laura, I hope it's something that can be treated rather than the cancer the vet initially diagnosed.

Grade all the things, Kat! Or else you'll have all the things + more.

msbelle, you are way more patient than I could ever be. He doesn't know how damned good he has it.

Urgent care claims not broken. Not sure I trust them (random offsite radiologist) but it's still shitty. My wrist hurts like crazy whenever I try to use it. Like say moving my scooter.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Gud, I'm sorry for your loss. They give us so much love, but they just can't stay.

Laura... yeah, it sucks to have to prepare yourself and family for what may be coming for Zoe.

~ma, meara.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I wrote him a whole long email tonight. He needs to make some decisions about next year and I tried to spell it all out for him. I also told him that anymore drug use or any more failed classes and he would have fewer choices in front of him. I'll be getting him info on all the armed forces shortly.

Now I just have excess rage energy running though me with no outlet. Nothing online is holding my interest.

Because books.

Maybe try turning your brain off for a little white with Candy Crush or stacking cats or something? I'm sorry you're so frustrated.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I'm sorry, msbelle. I hope he figures it out and soon.

msbelle, I have excess depressed energy. Lets trade.

I did manage to make a salad. But damn my wrist hurts. I think I will take some of my oxy (thank god I have some) and/or sleeping pill until morning but then. I have to work again.
