"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Their flight came in an hour and a half early!

I had to turbo vacuum. They're in the cab from the airport.

Damn, that was a hell of a tail wind!

Right? And it's not a long flight from Seattle to start with.

Seriously, that plane must have nigh-transporter capabilities!

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

Sounds more like they were catapulted (which would be a fun way to travel, although maybe not at those speeds).

Yeah I’m in the very “but I don’t WANT to do my job!” part of reacclimati g after a very slow December. But people keep wanting things from me.

That's the state I'm in, with bonus migraines and preparing for a trip next week to work HQ in Arizona.

I am loopy and tired, so only low brain level work is getting done. But the pain is controlled, and that's really all I care about. I think I am lucking out with a mild case -- the vax didn't prevent, but I think it's still helping.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Meara from memory:

Glad to hear that the survey went well, Matt.

Jen, I’m so sorry about the shingles! Hope the literature is right.

Pix, please vent as much as you like. It’s enormously stressful and so hard being on your own with it.

Hi Shir!!

I also did not send a single card. I kept thinking I’d get to it and then the flu ended any chance. I just put my cards away yesterday, officially giving up. May I have more spoons next holiday season.

Just finished my first week of the new schedule. I didn’t sleep well last night so today was pretty brutal. By the end of the day I had a headache and two brain cells left and they were not talking.

I feel like I’ve been five different people in the last year, and we’ll see what this next evolution is like! I feel about ten emotional years older. Definitely knew what was up when I got a chrysalis tattooed on me in Oct.

Punishingly Intricate

My dad passed away this evening. I was out there earlier today because my brother came up from NC with my niece and Dad seemed close to the end so not really a shock but…anyway, glad both my brothers were there with my Mom when it happened

Oh, lisah. My deepest condolences to you and your whole family. And all who loved him. I'm so sorry.
