Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

This password convo reminds me that one of the things I do this week should be making a list of key info like passwords and stuff in case of emergency.

I also have a lot of shredding and filing to do.

Do I know how to have fun, or what??

Our wings are not tired

I think NoiseDesign and I delurked the same evening while talking about it on AIM.

This is correct.

I am making this the Official Onerous Task for 2023 for all our peeps.

Also, my beloved Buffista singletons, please have a dedicated offline in-person friend or family contact for us so we can check in.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

I am making this the Official Onerous Task for 2023 for all our peeps.

I'll add this to our list, along with "remodel the damn back bathroom so it's fully usable again" and "write our damn wills already I can't believe we put it off this long." Though I'll have to rename it to "making a damn list of key passwords etc..." to properly express the onerousness.

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

Timelies all!

Happy Birthday Theo and Jesse!

Got woken up at 4:30 by my phone going off.(Amber alert) Then it went off again, and again. Finally Gary put it in the computer room.

Tomorrow it's back to work. For me, at any rate, as Gary has the week off.

Thrive to spite them

Happy Birthdays to everyone!!

M's sister had pillows made from their father's old shirts and gave them to her brothers for Christmas a few years ago. It's a really nice present.

I need to make a list of passwords and info, I have a lot of it saved but I need to get that out there just in case. I also need to make sure he knows to make an announcement on FB if anything happens or message someone so they can post here. I need to find out what I should do if something happens to him.

There were a few tears, including from me.

Seconded

I am hearing everyone on the password, will, glowy box contacts in case if emergency lists. I was just saying that it was going to be a light work-work week, so I declare that I shall do all those things this week.. or start the process, anyway.

Driving home now about two hours to go. Perfectly pleasant, though. I'm not the one driving, obviously.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Also, my beloved Buffista singletons, please have a dedicated offline in-person friend or family contact for us so we can check in.

Seconded.

If you don't have one and something happens, you will. Buffistas are resourceful. I am thankful for that because I don't even remember the last week of Dec 2020 and first few days of Jan 2021 when I was hospitalized post-Covid with dangerously low levels of salt in my blood.

I am far more cognizant of letting/even encouraging my worlds intermingle now. If no one hears from you, at least an exchange of emails is extremely helpful. Also update emergency contacts at work if needed. Mom was still my only listed contact after she died so the coworkers who called for an ambulance for me had no way of contacting my family or friends.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

along with "remodel the damn back bathroom so it's fully usable again" and "write our damn wills already I can't believe we put it off this long."

We have both of these onerous tasks awaiting us, along with "buy a damn car" and "buy a damn couch."

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Happy birthday, Theodosia and Jesse!

I’m back home from Michigan. The cats seem happy about it. I’m ambivalent.
