Our wings are not tired.

I'm sorry, Sheryl.

Maybe someone has a candid shot that you will see which captures you properly, Consuela. So disheartening to have this happen.

I went with my son's girlfriend and got 4 holes put back in my earlobes since they closed up after I was too lazy to wear earrings for too long. It wasn't bad, although I am such a coward. She got a medusa to go along with her bridge, septum, and labret piercings that she did a while ago. Her ears had previously closed so she had them redone too. This was on my list for a while so I am happy to have it behind me. I will never go without earrings again!

I’m sorry, Sheryl. How awful!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I'm so sorry, Cheryl. Something very similar happened during Faire last fall, and it was upsetting and jarring for everyone.

I just remembered that this is my brother's birthday. I'd been pretty good over the last few years about remembering in time to get a card to him, but this year was a total fail. And I just remembered that my mom had mentioned having the family over for a birthday dinner a few days ago, so I did have time. What I don't have is spare brain cells.

Holy carp, I can't believe that short post above took so long to type. I'm averaging a typo every five words, so everything takes forever to write.

This, and the ever popular typing the post but not actually hitting Post Message until hours later!

I've done that recently!

-t pointed out that today is Pi approximation day, and we have an approximate slice of pie leftover from yesterday to celebrate.

Though mostly this morning I was contemplating the great virtue of room service coffee with buttered toast and jam.

Phil the Gambler is back from Vegas and we might get together later. It is nice when I get to break up these trips with a visit.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I have approximately no pie.

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

Timelies all!

I had a flight of pies last night at an English style pub. Dinner pies, but pies all the same.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

I have approximately no pie, but I do have macarons and cookies thanks to the farmers market.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I have zero pie, but Indian food is on the way for dinner.
