Totally, on both fronts. (and if somebody says "what are the odds?" you are uniquely positioned to answer.)

Take it easy tomorrow, Hil! I hope it goes well for you.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Hil, I can't help but think how much that has to say about dealing with chronic pain. Back to work just after getting out of the hospital. Try not to overdo it.

I suppose that's true. But I can't say that as if I wouldn't do it, Mom being on the Olympic Functioning Team

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
If it were possible to take the rest of the week off, I probably would, but my students have an exam on Friday that I can't reschedule, and I already owe so many people favors for covering classes for me. I'll take it easy as much as I can, and rest if I need to.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Take it easy as much as you can, Hil.

I hate that we live in a society that gives so little grace to people, especially those sick and hurting.
My book club, which meets this Sat, is reading Wee Free Men which I have been meaning to try, so I just spent my Spravato appt listening to the first bit of it. I’m hooked!

Audiobook is definitely the way to go on this book. It's hilarious. Crivens! Oh, Waily Waily!

Our wings are not tired.
I miss listening to my books. When I am home I drive at least an hour and a half a day to take the dog to and from the park, which is my audiobook time. Here I don't drive by myself very much, so I just don't get the chance. I want to try while working, but am afraid I won't have the focus.
I just spent a lot on wood. The walls and ceilings are pine so I wanted some variation for the staircase. So I just went to the wood guy and bought cherry for the stairs. 2" x 26" x 10"~12", with the variation being the live edge. It should be very pretty. But nice wood y'all, expensive.
