Sheryl good luck to your parents!! Tom too.
I got mostly nothing done today. I guess it’s not yet 6pm, I could still be productive! But I probably won’t.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I was with a friend last night at like 6, and she was like, "I'm going to go home and do x, y, and z" and I was like !?!?!? It's already nighttime! You're going to start new things???

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Hi Nora! Good to see your pixels. I'm sorry Texas has been disheartening for you.
Sheryl, all good thoughts for your mom and dad. And Tom, best thoughts for your mom, too. And gentle thoughts for you, too, in a difficult time.
Theo, I have to wonder--has she just been using a bic, or just gone candle-less? What does she do on birthdays? I'm glad you had the getaway, and mornings free for solitude.
I was up till 5:30 last night--or this morning. I was reading and ignored the time--not like I have a job to go to or anything. Slept in an extra 40 minutes, and no nap today. Sleep is apparently underrated in my land.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Seriously -- NEVER had lit a match. I got her to do it without burning her fingers, but I made her stand over the bricks of the fireplace in the time-share when she did it, just in case.
You've enlarged her world!
Oof, Sheryl, that sounds stressy. Hoping for best results.
Tom, that also sounds extremely stressful for you. It's worrisome.

Dear lord. Y’all remember the saga last year of my checking account having a bunch of money transferred out via CashApp? I just logged in to my other account (NOT the one that had this issue before) and there’s a random $6k withdrawal last week. I do not recall withdrawing $6k!!’ It just says “withdrawal” and not…how?? So I have to call them first thing. But wtf?? I’m really hoping it’s a mistake on their part??? Jesus I do not want to deal with this again, because then I won’t feel like my money is safe anywhere!

Fingers crossed for your parents, Sheryl and Tom.
I got very little done today, other than washing my bedspread and pillowcases, and going to see Candyman (not worth the time and money). Hoping some productivity kicks in tomorrow.

Our wings are not tired.
{{Parental units}} I hope you get better news today.
Tom, that is a lot of emotional overload with 9/11, the new class, and your mom. Take extra care of yourself.
Yikes, meara! May this be quickly resolved.
Looks at the clock and rushes in to say it is billyteas's birthday today. I hope it has been a great one!
