sj, my heart is with you. I agree that quiet time is a blessing during times like these. Lightness of heart be available when you are ready.

The world is awful, but I'm still going to ask for ~ma and vibes for best possible outcomes.

I just came from the property manager's office and she offered to let me out of the lease with 30 days notice and one month's rent. She _could_ not charge me at all, but I'm just glad for the chance to be free. I've already spent so much on trying to make this work already.

AND, I just found out two days ago that there will be a high-rise building going up...you guessed it...RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET...starting in July.

The property manager says nobody knew. The neighborhood civic association says that is bull. I don't have the energy to fight it yet again.

But, this means I am back to square one, with a lower credit rating (based on the many thousands I spent already) and no idea where to go.

And, along with the ego death of buying a cellphone I am thinking of figuring out how to have a car now. So much change.

Is fb down for anyone else?

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

FB is up for me.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Up for me, but not in Chrome--it's been stubbornly refusing to function on that platform for at least the last week.

It's working for me in Chrome on a Mac. Also, in Chrome on my Android. (Still feel so weird to say that.)

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I have missed a lot, but Epic- I am giving you lots of `ma sj- I am so sorry for your loss, and so glad you got to be there (if that is what you wanted.) askye- many vibes beekaytee- that seems like possibly the best possible result, but it still sucks.

Anyone I missed, I am so sorry- I am sending out vibes for all.

Thrive to spite them

I recently switched from using Chrome to Firefox and a lot of the glitches and problems I was having with FB...(technical stuff) haven't been happening. ..

Some tiny good news? In the GA govener primary race David Perdue is trialing Kemp by almost 40 points. Trump has been backing Perdue.

I don't want Kemp to be Gov again but Trump hates him and Trump's guy is trailing and I will take a tiny bit of happiness behind that.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

Walked home after a long day with a smile on my face. When I went to Amy's memorial, I wanted to take the UNC Recycling coffee mug that she had suprise gifted me after I admired hers at an F2F. I couldn't find it. I was upset with myself because I thought I'd gotten rid of it in a half-assed Marie Kondo moment where I donated a bunch of stuff, including several coffee mugs.

Fast forward to tonight when I'm in my office (we just went back to the office last month) and I was putting something on the bookshelf where I keep my "kitchen" stuff and it was THERE! I'd forgotten that I brought it to work because it had a screw lid and was good for taking to meetings!!! So, I not only have my mug, I got to remember the great feeling of opening a random package and enjoying Amy Preble's love.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all, and long time no see.

Basically, I've had a repeat of the issue where the e-mail with the link to resetting my password(which I have to do every time I want to log in) either arrives after the link has expired or doesn't arrive at all. I don't have the spoons to meara.(April was a kind of crappy month for me)

Hugs and ~ma for all who need/want it.

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

Aw, Vortex, that’s so great!
