That sounds like a really important conversation with your brother, and excellent connections with your cousins too.
Angel: Is that what you think you are--a hero? Spike: Saved the world didn't I? Angel: Once. Talk to me after you've done it a couple more times.

Natter 77: I miss my friends. I miss my enemies. I miss the people I talked to every day.

Art Crawl!!!
Random: At Churchill Downs a colt named Howling Time out of a mare named Werewolf won the Street Sense Stakes today.
So appropriate.

Nice!

Our wings are not tired.
Perfect!
We had a ton of kids, and as usual DH gave out way too much candy. Some great costumes this year from clever homemade, to family themes.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Back from the con, and tired.
Gary took Mr. S trick or treating while I watched the candy supply(we put pieces of candy on a tray table and put that outside). At 8:30 I brought in the table and the last few pieces of candy and called it a night.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Ima sum up:
Go Team Lexapro!
ADHD diagnosis can be good! I haven't gone the medication route, but at least I know why my brain works the way it does.
I think Roller Derby was my midlife crisis--which it did AMAZING things for me, mentally, physically, and emotionally.
I wish I had found the library sooner. My sister asked me if I wanted to go back and get my MLS and I was like "HELL, NO!" too spendy, and I am already doing the fun part of my job. I'll leave the librariany stuff to my boss.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
One of the houses Aeryn and I trick-or-treated at last night had candy scattered all over the lawn, with signs on the grass saying things like Take Two! No, Not That One! and I wish I'd been able to get a picture but there was never a moment when there weren't other peoples' kids in the frame. She got a good haul though, and we ran into a few friends along the way, which was nice.

Everything still down at work, they're saying it's a "cybersecurity attack" which does not seem like the right nomenclature to me but I guess I know what they mean. We had a downer of a meeting to start the day with everyone knowing the current status and then my boss ends it with "everyone have a great day!" which seemed very weird and out of place.

Eeep. I hope they can get things restored without a bunch of loss of data. Are you able to do much of anything?
Here is so much a Monday. Sigh.
DH took on a coaching job as head coach of the JV high school team and assistant of varsity. He was going to skip a year, but I knew that wasn't happening. He went down just to meet the team and talk with the coach, and just loved the kids. Then his first day of practice the school principal came in and told him (in front of the kids) how happy he was to have him back. The school is in Pompano Beach, about 40 min south of us, where we lived for a time. This is where we plan to move when we sell the house. Of course for now a commute! For reasons that I can only assume is complete insanity the coaches and boys decided to have practice at 6AM several days a week so they have their evenings free for other after school activities or study. So DH was up at 4AM to shower and get ready to roll. This is his least favorite week as he has official tryouts and has to pick way too few kids compared to how many great players he has as options. Saying no is very difficult for him.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yikes, -t. That sounds like trouble. But hopefully not your trouble.
I am in my office for the first time since March 13, 2020, and it is weird! I also got a new office, so that's really all I've done so far today, including going through the paper files of someone who is no longer on my team and is also on maternity leave, and throwing most of them out.
