Saffron: I'll die. Mal: Well, as a courtesy, you might start getting busy on that, 'cause all this chatter ain't doin' me any kindness.

'Trash'


Natter 77: I miss my friends. I miss my enemies. I miss the people I talked to every day.

Our wings are not tired.

Still, it's nice to be sleeping in my own bed again.

Awesome! Sweet peaceful dreams.

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

Sheesh, Bev! That sounds stressful as hell all the way around.

I'm glad you're home safe, and hope DH gets quick relief.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Well that sounds like a crappy day, Beverly. I hope today goes better.

Congrats on getting back into your home, Sheryl!

I’m starting my day with coffee to hand and a purring cat on my lap, which is a nice beginning.

Bev! No good, I'm glad you're safe and sound and have kind neighbors... with cars. Good health/recovery vibes to DH. And, or, stone remnant passing vibes if there's still an issue with that.

Sheryl, such good news.

Today holds the promise of a being solid, productive work day. I need that today and tomorrow.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

There really are times I just curse the ether that we do not have teleportation.

Because books.

Oh Bev, that's a lot. Healing vibes to B., and big hugs and love for you.

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

Big thoughts and hugs to B, Bev.

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

I’m starting my day with coffee to hand and a purring cat on my lap, which is a nice beginning.

Hear me out....Maybe that could be the WHOLE day.

Matilda was rushing around this morning getting ready for school and then said something that I feel is oddly iconic for her generational cohort: "Alison is stopping by on her way to school to trim her false eyelashes because they're too long."

Today's question: Is David going to rouse himself to go running this morning (grey and dreary day, rain coming)? Stay tuned.

Hmm. Is anybody ever really "tuned" anymore? I do remember spending a fair amount of my childhood carefully turning the radio knob in nanometer increments to tune into distant radio stations.

That was before-times. Analog life.

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

I asked Matilda and Alison. They knew the phrase "stay tuned" but had no idea it referred to something real in the world.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Bev, yikes! That is too much things.

I am having a day where everything on my to-do list is boring and stupid and I don't wanna. Also, my boss scheduled a "watch together" conference call for us all to hang out and watch the global all-hands, which I guess means I have to actually watch the global all-hands? Which I also don't wanna?

(The team I'm on has no sense of humor about the level of corporate bullshit we are surrounded by. I desperately need to get back on a team with a more appropriate level of snark and eye-rolling.)
