Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

So tired…

Ugh. Work is nonsense, all sorts of things going wrong and people responding about the wrong thing or doing things wrong or just requiring a lot of work and people who should know better not doing things they’re supposed to, and a bunch of things I don’t know about that no one else will claim as theirs or say whose it is…TGIF. Though I’m promised to go dancing tonight and all I want is to nap. But I should go dance, I haven’t been in weeks. First though, physical therapy. So I’ll be sore for dancing. Wheeeee.

Our wings are not tired.

I hope the PT warms you up for dancing the night away.

I hope you have fun dancing, meara!

I feel I need to perform an interpretive dance for the Provost called “My students cannot upload anything to the UHS portal, so that cannot be the instruction I give them!” And possibly go back in time to when I first raised this issue in June. Perhaps interpretive dance will get their attention.

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

Worth a try, Sophia!

Maybe an art installation of printed out pages saying “access denied” or whatever, papered around his office?

That is an intriguing idea

Hmm. We actually have a staff art competition. I think I might be fired though :)

The frustration level must be off the charts, Sophia. Any possibility of a face-to-face with someone who can change things?

Art Crawl!!!

Cashmere- family can be maddening at the best of times & now: actually dangerous. I hope you & your father are recovering nicely.

-t I just had my 1st shingles shot yesterday. So far a sore arm is the only reaction but I am dismayed that it actually seems to be more sore today than it was yesterday. I must admit, I did take some grim satisfaction in Kavenaugh coming down with co-vid.

Am having a very loungey day. We’re having in-person church for the 1st time since March 2020 tomorrow. I saw one of the neighbors’ chickens again yesterday. My cousin who has chickens tells me that they can fly enough to fly over fences. (Think it might be a barred rock.)

Started taking the anti-hormone pills. So far, so good. Sadly, the freckles on the left boob are fading. I found it personally amusing to have one freckled & one non-freckled breast.
