Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Our wings are not tired.

Hoping for a positive result, quickly, Calli!

Closing on the condo Friday at 1. Should wire the $$ today, still waiting for the breakdown. DH is trying to work it out to come sooner, maybe after his game Saturday so that I can get down to the warmth. My sister and nephew have both offered repeatedly to let me stay with them if it gets too chilly in my house, but I really think it is too complex with the animals. I don't seem to have an issue keeping the daytime temp at 60F in the house, so I can deal with that. I own sweaters and socks!!

Fingers crossed. (ETA: for Cali and Laura!)

Much work today.

Panama in a week and a day, though!

Did the lettuce outlast her? I guess so. [link]

For which, be thankful. Unfortunately, and given the progress of the past 7-odd years, whatever comes after her will almost certainly be worse.

Woot, thanks, Laura! (Those dudes sure had fun, didn't they?)

Yes, her departure is a mixed blessing in many ways. Will they learn and pick someone competent? Yet to be known.

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

Timelies all!

I've had to defrost my car in the morning the last few days. Sigh...

Oh goodness. The lettuce gave a victory speech. [link]
