Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I've had coworkers who send me email asking to do something, and then walk to my cube to ask me if I've done it yet, before the original email arrives.

This is the kind of shit I'm talking about. @@

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Man, why the hell did I come in to the office today? There's nobody here, I have nothing to do. Feh. My meter runs out at 11:30, so I guess I'll try to hold out that long.

Punishingly Intricate

Oh, lisah, if you're around, I have one more restaurant suggestion: Gobo.

I will look into it!

Me too! SUPPOSABLY my boss is coming in later, so I guess it's good to be here for that, but ugh.

At least I got a potentially good-news letter, which I expected to be a bad-news letter when I saw it, so that's something.

Ooh, speak of the devil, my boss just got here. I forgot she had a meeting -- I couldn't figure out why you would come in for two hours...

hip deep in pie

Are any of you people following the gossip about how Kelly Preston wasn't really pregnant? This article about the new baby really never says that she gave birth, does it?

Yeah, I noticed that my CBC RSS feed had the headline as "Travolta, Preston announce new baby," which stood out in the way it distanced itself from any kind of actual birth event.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

I am thankful for friends who will make a six-hour round-trip drive to have an hour-long lunch with me, as one friend did yesterday. I am thankful in general for the people in my life, for my family, my friends, my delightful husband and his equally lovely family, our sweet but neurotic kitties. And I'm thankful, always, for this board and all of you people.

I've had a lot of opportunity to feel loved and cared for this year, in circumstances both wonderful and awful, and I'm incredibly thankful that I have so many people who can and will show up for me when I need them. I'm a lucky lady, and I know it.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I am thankful for you all, especially today when I will be having an infusion without Juliana or G around to talk to, so I will be playing lots of FCMs.

And every other day, too.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

I am thankful that my office is closed today!

I am thankful to be in New Orleans, a city I love so much I could eat it up with a spoon. I am thankful that we were able move here.

I am thankful I have a job at a place that serves the community.

I am thankful for Tom and my kitties, Taz and Marley.

I am thankful for our friends here who have taken us under their wing and included us in their wide circle of friends and neighbors.
