The only good this about this stupid warm spell is that my garden looks amazing. The roses and hibiscus are blissfully ignorant that it's supposed to be fall right now.
Early: So is it still her room when it's empty? Does the room, the thing, have purpose? Or do we -- what's the word? Simon: I really can't help you. Early: The plan is to take your sister. Get the reward, which is substantial. 'Imbue.' That's the word.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

It's overcast and rainy here, and I got like 5.5 hours of sleep. I am so onboard with climbing back into bed.

My foot is weirdly swollen today. I'm hoping it's nothing.

It's almost the end of the work day here, and I haven't killed anyone yet this week despite provocation.

Our wings are not tired.
I'm sorry, sj. Are you able to elevate and ice it? Is ltc in school today?
Today has been a mixed bag. DH finished off a last bit of business successfully and is now on the road headed toward NY. Alas, it was a rough morning for people around us.
Brendon walks on the beach at sunrise, and as many of you know, he talks to everyone everywhere. There are several homeless people that live on the beach so he sees them and talks to them if they are chatty, some of course are either reclusive or too ill to be communicative. He called me crying from the beach this morning because the ME and a bunch of police vehicles were there and clearly someone had died on the beach. There was luggage on the beach near where they were gathered so he expects it was one of the homeless. He was just stricken with that feeling of helplessness. So send a bit of ~ma into the universe for peace for the random lost person and those who loved them.
Then in tiny town activity news, sirens went off for the volunteers and step-dad called me to let me know it was a fire and other details. Then about a half hour later my sister stops to drop off her dog to me because she is off to the hospital to check on her co-worker whose house has burned down.
So generally, I'm giving today a thumbs down overall, but clearly some people are having worse days than me.

Thanks, Laura. ltc is home, but Mom is here. I have on compression socks and I'm going to take an epsom salt bath later to see if that helps. My feet swell every once in a while, but it is usually both feet.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, I'm just crabby, but not actually in pain or crisis, so maybe I should get over myself?

In totally other news, do you think it's weird that my coworker's out of office message says she is "currently out of the office with limited access to email"? She is on maternity leave! She is going to be out for a while, and she shouldn't be on email at all while on FMLA leave!

I'm having an ok day except for my Nemesis clearly proving that she just doesn't read my emails. RETIRE ALREADY.
ION, looks like Nikki Haley was just about to get in trouble for ethics violations, so she quit. The fear on Twitter is that Trump will fire Sessions, appoint Lindsey Graham to DoJ, and then Haley can be appointed to Graham's seat.

I got my flu shot today and now my arm aches. Still I'm doing my bit for the herd immunity.
