Glad he's home, Atropa, and glad he's listening!

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

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Cass! Happy birthday, my friend!!
Damn, Atropa, that is seriously scary. Get on that scheduling, dad of Atropa!
Thanks for the support. I am so looking forward to working with almost all women. I spent a couple hours in a NOLA cemetery helping my colleagues fix a broken tombstone, and it was actually healing to have my input listened to and valued.
In contrast, my (female) boss from last job texted me today to say that if I didn't pay her the $120 I still owe for Cobra today she'd cancel it retroactive to 5/31. Did i mention here they fired me via text "for my own good" ten days before my scheduled last day or work? She is a "one of the guys" kind of woman in certain ways.
I paid it and resisted the temptation to reply. Moving on to better things.

Always Anti-fascist!
sometimes a woman can totally be The Man. Tragic but true. I'm not sure if I'm really a ladyboss, though I used to imagine it sometimes. But I could never really cancel someone's health insurance.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
That probably should have been a journal entry.smonster, I had a long reaction and then realized that it was more a hanging out chatting thing than a post.
Thank you for the birthday wishes. It's been nice.
Thank you, nice surgeon, for finally making Dad listen.
Thank you from the blinvisible peeps, Mr. Dr.

So my s-i-l. We had a family birthdays and Father's Day dinner on Saturday and she had a few gems. If she were in the Matrix, she'd take the blue pill. Happily. She spoke about it for a few minutes. Then complained that Bridgeton, a fictional story, was not true to the racial identities. (smonster, my reaction was a much longer version of this and more...) Oh, she is such the well-named Karen.

I keep thinking I should post replying to stuff or saying stuff but somehow it feels hard. But I’m here and I’m seeing you and I love hearing from you all.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Yes, because otherwise it is so devoted to accuracy. (i know you know. They really tell on themselves, don't they?)
Re: responding to things, it makes it harder for me being on my phone, because it's such a pain to cut and paste multiple things to respond to. And then i get to the end and forget half of what i wanted to say.
Women can totally be the man, for sure.
I have Onerous Tasks to do today and I doan wanna. I need to enter all my receipts from the move, see if I need to pull more out of savings, pay my credit card, talk to the movers about the damage to my furniture, and do some stuff with my car insurance.
I can't sit at a computer that long, so I plan to alternate with puttering. Oh, and i have to go to the grocery store because I can't keep eating out like this.

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

I only ever like Bridgerton about 30% of the time I'm watching it, but I always enjoy how effortlessly it manages to annoy all the right people just with casting choices.
(See also, spoilery thing from the end of S3 that has some of the internet suddenly VERY concerned about BOOK ACCURACY.)

Isn't that the whole point of Bridgerton? I'm not even a whole episode into the second half of this season yet because I got bored after I started it, but I have been spoiled for a couple of things that people are apparently mad about that make me more eager to watch the rest.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Ugh, I have a cold. It's annoying. Snurfling and gunky.
EM is coming over this morning. That should kickstart some Onerous Task Doing.
Matilda was out past Midnight last night so the odds of her waking up any time before 1pm are dim.
Father's Day was fun, though. Cousin Nicole was visiting, and I made Emmett and Matilda watch a movie of my choosing (Scorsese's dark comedy about downtown NYC, After Dark) and eat tacos.
I kept trying to connect the dots for them: "That's the guy who came back as a zombie in American Werewolf in London (Griffin Dunne). That's Phoebe's mom (Terri Garr). That's Moira from Schitt's Creek (Catherine O'Hara). That's the dad from Home Alone (John Heard)...."
