I’m so glad it was a temporary situation, Teppy! And hope Tim improves every day.
Sheryl that flood is such a drag, sorry to hear about it.
Saffron: You're a good man. Mal: You clearly haven't been talking to anyone else on this boat.

Natter 77: I miss my friends. I miss my enemies. I miss the people I talked to every day.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Off to go running before Nanita gets here!
JZ is up on the couch. Needed a lot of meds during the afternoon yesterday, but made it through the night without any need for them. So that's a good night.
I just shared this on FB, but for those who prefer not to go there...
Jacqueline was well topped off with pain meds as I put her to bed last night. So when she heard the little "hoo hoo" sound made by the pump attached to her G Tube she said, "I think there's a little owl outside." I assured her it was just the suction pump.
By 4am when she woke up again, no longer on meds, she'd forgotten the earlier conversation. Again she heard the "hoo hoo" sound and said, "Can you hear that?"
I said, "Yup. It's the pump. It's going 'hoo hoo.'"
JZ: "Phew. I thought I was having auditory hallucinations. It sounded like it was saying 'fuck you.' Which seemed pretty rude for an auditory hallucination. Or indeed, even for an owl."

Ha! It's an excellent plan to imagine it as an owl. I pretend my tinnitus is crickets.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Some owls are shitheads, though.

Indeed. Though there is a new book out on owls that looks pretty interesting.
I've finessed the Pandora station so it's going full Lilith Fair for JZ.

As are eagles! We had one swoop down and do away with 2 baby loons. The adult loons screamed for the longest time. Nature sucks.

Nanita, had a really good visit with Jacqueline.
While Nanita was here I read all the comments Buffistae and friends have made online for Jacqueline and read them to her. So she has heard your words and love.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, lovely.

ohh yay Lilith Fair playlist!
Nature often sucks but usually there are moments of awesome ness and adorableness that make you forget screaming loons or cicadas exist or that mockingbirds will dive bomb you if you get too close to the nest.

I applied to Walmart today , apparently for multiple positions. I don't like their website and I think I made a mistake on their question thing because the answers were similar and I didn't realize the questions had changed.
I did find another job that looked interesting but the pay range was way too low.
