We're in love. We're ... lovers. We're lesbian, gay-type lovers.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Oct 3rd is a meeting with the lawyers. The 5th is the deposition. The 13th thr hearing. I also realized I don't have any kind of work interview appropriate clothes (the suggested dress code for the deposition and hearing ). I had come up with one outfit and now I need to see if I can find another top to go with the pants. They are kind of palazzo style pants but in a dressy fabric.
Congratulations. I'm rooting for you. Hang in there. I feel like twin sets (even a faked twin set) go a long damn way, even with something like black jeans or khakis.
What’s a good charity to help Puerto Rico right now?
I'm asking around at work for a good Go Fund Me (or the like). If my $25 can go right to someone's Abuela that's maybe a slightly bigger drop in the bucket.
Dang. The restrictions that must be endured in this thing called life.
Electric word life. It means forever and that's a mighty long time.

Delurking to say I just got past a week of being flattened by COVID. Would not recommend. As I lay there feeling my skeleton in my body (nobody told me about THAT symptom) I was profoundly grateful I was vaccinated and not utterly fucking terrified for my life whilst feeling my skeleton in my body - that's a little too My Chem even for me. Did have a scare with my oxygen taking low drops so Doc told me to go to the ER (which is world class and five blocks away). Breathing treatment, chest X-ray, cleared and sent home. Back at work tired and sweaty (and testing negative) because this is where they keep the money. Fingers crossed I don't get the Paxlovid rebound.

Our wings are not tired.

I'm sorry, Trudy. Brendon has the very faintest of lines this morning, finally. I hope he is clear tomorrow as he is really chomping at the bit to get out of here. His 1-2 week visit is now 7 and counting. I enjoy his company, but his basketball team misses him.

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

Yeesh, I'm glad you got that cleared up, Trudy. That sounds no bueno. I'd much rather be blissfully ignorant of my skeleton most times.

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

You have bones inside you! WET bones inside you!

Glad you're getting better, Trudy.

You have spit in your mouth and now you need to swallow.

Today is Matilda's 16th birthday! So she's about the same age SA, Holli and Rebecca Lizard were when they joined us.

She's planning on taking her boyfriend out to IHOP to celebrate.

Joke's on you, mister; I'm eating rice and eggs.

Well, I presume you're still swallowing.

Ugh, nobody was very enthusiastic about this Monday. Not even Matilda and it's her birthday.

It's very grey out in SF this morning, which is fine. I could use some Autumn cool. I suppose I'll go run while I can.
