Inara: So, explain to me again why Zoe wasn't in the dress? Mal: Tactics, woman. Needed her in the back. 'Sides, those soft cotton dresses feel kinda nice. It's the whole... air-flow.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Ooh good luck.

And hire movers, no matter what. It will still be hell.

Apparently if you're enough of a power nerd, there is nothing that cannot be flowcharted.

Fingers crossed for the unicorn house!

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

Good luck househunting, Hec!

Steph, good thoughts headed Tim's way.

Two people I know are currently in the hospital on ventilators with Covid, both vaxxed and boosted. One is a relative who has been battling cancer for a couple of years. He's probably not going to make it.

Ugh hate to hear vaxxed and boosted and still on a vent, yikes!! Good luck.

And house-ma to Zmayhem and Laura both!

I continue to not want to get up in the morning nor do work. I continue to do so. But I really want earlier sunrises.

Thanks. Like I said my relative was already very weak. I do not know the medical information on the other person I know because he is the man who is supposed to be putting a new roof on our house.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

We're just reading up on buying a place in a Probate Sale. It's a little tricky and scary.

On the plus side, though, it would be a huge bargain and fit all our needs and beyond. Have to talk to our advisors about this.

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

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Side note on the location: It's a 15 minute walk from our current place, three blocks past Matilda's old elementary school. It's halfway between the Fairy Gates Trailhead in Sutro Forest and Tank Hill (where I asked JZ to marry me).
