What sj said, too.
Don't worry, we're sure to spot Faith first. She's like this cleavagy slut-bomb walking around 'Ooh, check me out, I'm wicked-cool, I'm five-by-five.'

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.

Because books.
The year I worked at the answering service, I had a 30-40 min commute each way, and I listened to a bunch of audiobooks. (One was Stephen King's Bazaar of Bad Dreams, all short stories, and it featured fantastic readers.)
But I can't do it at home unless I'm doing dishes or folding laundry or something, because my attention wanders. In the car, it can't, I guess.

Mostly listen when cleaning to Amy or when I’m driving alone doing errands.

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

Oh, Hil, I am so glad you were able to call 911 and are better.

So he eated it.
And I miss her. And I've missed her for months.
In my experience, which is parental and not the same, you will remember both.
I am not past remembering the very sad part where I was grieving my Dad while he was still alive.
The thing that has helped me when I am remembering too much bad time is a picture of him. He's in the hospital with the niecephews, one on either side. He's been diagnosed but it's still my Dad. He's there in that picture. It's maybe the last one. But that one picture helps me remember him. I remember him.
