Thrive to spite them

David I'm glad you are connecting with people.

Yay new job. Hopefully the drama will stay far far away from you msbelle

I forgot it was M's birthday tomorrow. I remembered the date just lost track of the days so I had nothing planned until he said something Sunday. Tomorrow I'm taking him to the sushi place for dinner. I have Thursday off and we were planning on doing some errands so I'm adding a stop to the comic book store so he can get something. Kind of pick out his own gift. I'm going to suggest going downtown for lunch and then making sure we go to Mast General Store. They have a candy counter/area and he was talking about how he wished there was a candy store near us. So at least he can have a candy shopping spree.

Mom's housing issues are worked out for now. The landlady has multiple tenants that can't afford to buy their place and are worried about people buying and raising rent so she's been working out a deal with Habitat for Humanity where they will buy the houses and keep rent at a reasonable level for the current tenants. Mom is going to need knee replacement surgery and she's worried about the bathroom being small and a tight fit so the landlady said she'd talk to Habitat and see if they could renovate it .

That sounds like a good outcome for your mom, askye. I'm glad things seem to be working out.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Back from a memorial, the more leftist political one that was organized by some of the victims and hostages' families (there were at least 5 in Jerusalem today, two were organized by the families. This one criticized Netanyahu and called for his immediate resignation). It was sad but good to be there.

In the weird kind of hope that we have now, you might want to read this eulogy: [link]

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I am glad to have read that, Shir. Thank you.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

I voted, and there was a long-ass line out the door as I left. That seems like a good sign. Then I bought books!

As long as the issues I voted for/against go the way I voted, I'll call it a good Tuesday!

Tim walked home from the bookstore because he needed to get his daily walk in (I did my 32 minutes on the bike earlier). I was going to try to stage a fake argument outside the bookstore so he could storm off dramatically, but we couldn't agree on the topic of the fake argument (which could have become its own argument, I suppose).

well,I hope they do, to put that mildly, but you did what you could, Tep.(Although as a volunteer recruiter, I could always push us all harder, you know that!)

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