Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Yeah, a friend of mine suggested that one just really really hope that he's forced to step down for his health. And not because of the other thing.

Though I don't know. He's pretty bad, certainly near the top of the list that I don't have. Along with Mitch McConnell, the Orange Idiot, Ted Cruz....I should stop making this list.

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

When Brendon went there yesterday for their weekly pool games the friend offered when DH said we didn't know where we were going. It is so perfect.

That's so great!

I learned not to wish ill on Supremes after Scalia died and they replaced him with three people as bad or worse.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I think having a pool table on a boat could make playing very ... interesting? challenging?

That's fantastic, Laura!

Same not super kind thoughys re: Thomas.

In news of me, I just got my first two sets of Invisalign trays at the dentist's a few mins. ago. Let the aligning begin! Invisibly.

It is gorgeous here today. I need tonfigure out a work outside set-up stat.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

Laura, that is excellent news. I am happy to hear about Buffistas finding the homes they want.

(One of the realtors has sent me listings that tick NONE of the boxes I've told her were non-negotiable! I do not think we will be working with her going forward.)

I would read Thomas's obituary with great interest, is all I'm saying about that.

JenP, may the aligning not be too owie.

That does not sound like a good realtor, Amy!!

For those who believe in threefold return….yeah. Yikes.

Thrive to spite them

Laura that's really great.

I'm hoping whatever is going on with Thomas doesn't make whatever is going on with his wife and Jan 6 to disappear.

Scrappy is back from the vet and stoned. He got out of his collar. I ordered a cat recovery suit for his sutures. I was going to try and do a onesie but I'm worried he'd get out of the baby t shirt ones and I wasn't sure how to do a baby onesie on a cat where they can go to the bathroom and the recovery suit allows for that.

He better not pull out his stitches between now and then because he's already cost me too much money.

She stood me up last week - for our first call! - by sending a note on FB Messenger saying "Hey, this meeting's running long and then I'm going to Phoenix for the weekend". I found this message 10 minutes after we were supposed to meet. "We weren't a good fit" will be me being extremely polite about things.

(All three of us saw exactly what we wanted on Saturday - problem is, it's on Whidbey. At least Ken got to go over Deception Pass; he was properly appreciative.)

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

Oooh. Yeah, be careful with the magic.

So glad your housing situation has such a happy solution, Laura!
