Oh no, people in the fire zone. All safety and rain~ma.

In (slight) meara'ing:

Dana, congrats!

Congratulations, Gud's youngest daughter! It is encouraging that she could tell you that.

Wonderful school news about Matilda!

As for me, after being on stressy test season since late June, I finally finished all tests and papers and a research proposal (that I had to conjure up in about two weeks) five days ago and get the grades needed (I think - I currently have the grades I need, but I'm waiting to hear about the grades in two other classes. As long as I have at least 84% in both of them, I'm OK, so I'm not very much worried). At work we started unpaid leave four days ago and I've been resting since then, but it is starting to be a bit boring. Planning to go to the museum today and do some cooking.

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

I'm not seeing any news about containment, but a couple of areas that had been evacuated are allowing residents to return, so that's probably a good sign, right?

Coding and Sleeping

Ugh. I managed to fuck things up today before even waking up. I guess I've been doing that a lot lately and I don't even remember doing it. I figure I have so little empathy I can't even be bothered to remember doing bad things. Sometimes I fear that I may be a psychopath.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Gud, if you were a psychopath, you wouldn't worry about being a psychopath -- you'd either invent a justification for the bad things or simply not care.

Please talk to a professional, or at least call a hot line. If nothing else, talk to your GP -- you may need medication.

Our wings are not tired.

What Fred said, Gud. Your self view is flawed. Don't listen to anyone, especially yourself, when told you are a bad person because it isn't true.

Safety~ma in abundance for those at risk.

Have people been watching the DNC convention? I've been impressed with how they have pulled this off. All new rules and they have stepped up.

ION, it was in the 40s inside my house this morning. What up, summer? Headed to 73F for a high today, but for now I have the heaters running, a big bowl of oatmeal steaming in front of me, and am wearing the full length pink fussy bathrobe.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The people I know in Vacaville went home for a bit yesterday but then left again, I think.

Yeah, it's been great. I just wept all the way through the state roll call.

Oh, that's even better, Jesse. I don't get Vacaville's alerts, I didn't know any of their evacuations had been lifted

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Really? Ooooh.

That sounds good. More of that!
