Sweet lumpy minion, you're the only one that understands. Probably 'cause I haven't sucked the brain out of you yet.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Sit at tables for lunch then much mingling. It's a fairly big space, with lots of side areas.

Yes, that's a given plus the dolmas.

Our wings are not tired.
I'm realizing this is sort of like planning a wedding but in reverse.
I had Steve's memorial gathering at his sister's home, which was where we had our wedding reception. We all commented that it looked the same. Same people, same combination of laughing and crying.
The food options look amazing. The crostinis and flatbreads are making me hungry. We need to know where people are staying.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
So my advice when you're drowning from lack of executive function is to hire somebody to come around and kick your ass into shape.
Literally a key reason I want to make more money. That, and travel. And the fever dream of retiring some day.
I wish I could make the memorial, but I’ll be just back from a visit to NC and I’m going to Savannah in a couple weeks for my uncle’s memorial. Perhaps we can do a live Zoom thing?
Yay for clean bills of health! Colonoscopy is on my list for this year. It will be my first.
Aieeeee I just submitted my resume and cover letter for that job! Calli was a wonderful help. ETA receipt confirmed, would-be boss is reviewing over weekend. I get awesome lesbian contractor vibes from her so far. My people.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I still wear my rings (except when my fingers swell up or something). A friend of my brother's noticed and commented a while back on my sentimentality or steadfastness or whatever but I don't know that it';s a marker of anything in particular, I mean, it's the only actually valuable piece of jewelry I own, not wearing it would be like keeping the good china in the cupboard. OTOH, every time I have to mark that I am single on a form it feels wrong and weird, so there's probably more to it than that but I am not looking too hard at it
Anyway, the menu looks very full of deliciousness. The organic forest salad with mushrooms is catching my eye.

Thank you!! It’s not a bump in pay, but I think the benefits and CoL should help balance things out. Not to mention the mental health benefits and chance to reconnect with so many people I miss.
