Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

Natter 78: I might need to watch some Buffy for inspiration

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Thanks, all.

Sure, msbelle, but I think my realtors are calling back some other agents who expressed interest first. But if you know someone who you think might be interested in the area, please share away.

Our wings are not tired.

Oh, Pix! I am sorry. Yes, good idea. I will share the listing.

ION, I have a mouse in the house. Which isn't all that surprising after being closed all winter, but both animals are going nuts. I expect Scully will prevail. I left the door open for her to take it outside, hopefully. eta: Not a mouse, a squirrel, it must have come in via the cat door. This is not good.

AUGH, Pix. Real estate stress is the worst.

In related good/bad news, my school offered me a chunk of change to create a new online course over the summer — a serious time commitment. I had turned them down to allow myself an actual summer off and was so proud of myself for putting my mental/emotional health first, but I was able to reach back out and say I'd take it after all, so that will give us more of a buffer if it takes awhile for the condo to sell and close.

Stupid responsible, adult decisions.

This whole adulting thing is too often no fun at all.

Oh no, Pix, I’m so sorry!

We are safely arrived in our hotel in Beverly Hills!

Flight was delayed going out, but not too badly. Front Desk was able to accommodate my early check in request.

Dana will be pleased to know I watched Star Trek: Discovery, S2E01 on the way down.

It's overcast but the blue sky is trying to break through. Hoping the girls get a good poolside day after we eat lunch.

I need to watch the final season of Disco. S2 gets you Spock and the rest of the Enterprise, which is excellent.

The dragon damask dress that I was wearing in SF? Svaha is now offering it in a caftan. Seriously [link]
