"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!

Vortex that made me smile too. I’m glad you have it.

I told ltc that she can talk to Papa in heaven whenever she misses him, and I keep hearing her talk to him and it’s heartbreakingly sweet. I have good kid.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Ooof, sj. My heart. I am so sorry.

epic, I know some people who had your exact treatment and came out a year later very well. Please let is know what you need, and when you need support.

Go, Matilda!

Thanks, Cash. She seems fine one minute and is heartbroken and wants Papa back the next, which I guess is typical at her age. I'm trying to keep as much normalcy around her as possible.

While driving tonight I stopped the radio on a station that was playing "Barracuda" over baseball stadium loudspeakers, then the announcer misidentified the artist as Carlos Santana. How the hell is a sports announcer not familiar with that song?

Ha! That's ridiculous. But a good question.
