Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

Our wings are not tired.

Already had over 2000 steps. First 2 locations they said wrong place. After walking the entire length of parking lots. 3rd long parking lot is actual location. Already in waiting room an hour. Should have brought ear buds for my book.

Fucking migraines.

Always Anti-fascist!

Larry David was never more wise when he said "If your body was a car, you wouldn't buy it. Too much maintenance."

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

Oofdah! Got a grumpy letter from the IRS saying, in essence, "Pay up NOW!"

And this was something I was expecting to pay, but they said I had ignored previous notices and I did not ignore any other notices. In fact, I've been tapping my foot waiting for this to come in.

So now I'm scrambling to have money wired from my financial services to my checking account so I can make a payment bigger than I've ever done, excepting the down payment on this house.

You know what's a little stress inducing? Words like "seize your property" on official IRS letters.

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

Yikes! Uncool, IRS.

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

I checked with Sophia and she replied: "I am Ok but super overwhelmed with work and feeling quiet and guilty for disappearing."

I assured her there's nothing to feel guilty about and that we just missed her and were concerned.

Thanks, David. I'm glad she's okay.
