Spike: At least give me Wesley's office since he's gone. Angel: He's not gone. He's on a leave of absence. Spike: Yeah, right. Boo-hoo. Thought he killed his bloody father. Try staking your mother when she's coming on to you! Harmony: Well…that explains a lot.

Our wings are not tired.

I think we're finally going to start Ted Lasso tonight.

Excellent plan. We haven't finished it yet. Still in queue, but really enjoyable. Except DH suffering over the Daddy issues.

This bus has charging outlets, hooray!

Handy.

She is going to refer me to another neurologist and I sent an email to my lawyers.

Yes, you need more engaged care to progress.

I am trying to decide if it’s worth it to drive down to Portland (about 3 hours) on Saturday to watch some very good womens soccer.

The very good soccer part sounds like a big plus.

shrift and I watched all of Ted Lasso S2 this weekend. (I had seen it, she mostly hadn't.) It was awesome.

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

askye, I meant to say, that's so disappointing that your neurologist isn't working well with you after you had to wait so long to see anyone!

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

August 17th is the first day of school for Matilda, and now she is a junior.

FB tells me that Aug. 17 was also the first day of school last year, and in 4th grade.

I think one year we had it as early as August 12th. That was rough.

Good luck to all the teachers and students on the coming year.

Thrive to spite them

Golf carts are the preferred transportation alternative in the rural South. Or sometimes just suburban south.

-t I knew it wasn't a great fit but I was trying to be ok with it. But when she asks if I'm off workers comp and then commented about who was paying instead of ...knowing if I had or at least asking if I was ok...that just...I wanted to walk out at that point.

Yeah, that sounds pretty bad

I don't think I've ever ridden in a golf cart. Perhaps I have and I've forgotten. They have not been a commonplace vehicle in my life, though. I have seen some, I'm pretty sure, at a distance...

Oh no! The Guinea Pig we were going to get seems to be gone.

Maybe because JZ has already chosen her? IDK.

Boooo for the guinea pig for being too popular.

Talked to my lawyer. The workers comp finally assigned a lawyer to my case. So yay. Getting fired by the neurologist is also good for my case. So I just hang out and wait.

She was adopted. We're trying a neutered male now. I'm a little dubious, but they're supposed to be more harmonious.

Prubs seems to be pretty chill and compatible with Gimlet.

So whereas I had imagined her mothering/mentoring younger females, what we're getting is more like a romance at the old age home.

I mean...we could get two young sisters too. We got a bigger cage that could handle four.
