Okay, I finally got some shit done. And it was odious shit too; calling up all the places I'd made reservations, or had standing billing arrangements, or whatever, with my old credit card, to give them my new number. Still have a few to go; damned Eastern time zoners, but made good headway.
Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
OMG, he wants the presentation TODAY and today is Supernatural and we haven't really worked out if we're on the same page. He likes the ideas I want to incorporate, but since I don't have access to that material in time for the first draft, it's just theoretical gold stars...
Okay, going home. Will finish from there.
There goes my remaining work/life balance. I don't even know why they use that term...

Yeah, I don't know what that is.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
My plan is to call my vet tomorrow, and then see if I can get my mom to bring Beebs to the vet up there and pay for it. If that doesn't yield any results I think I'll fly in and out of Boston and get him.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Aw, poor old Beebs. You're a good person, Nora.
I'm going to post this here, so I don't do it on Facebook, even though I've already done my backup googling: OBAMA IS NOT LETTING CRIMINALS OUT OF JAIL. Jesus fucking christ. I need to just block that person, at least for the time being.

Nilly, your daughter is beautiful. She's lucky to have you for a mom.
Got my knuckles smacked gently today. It was fair, an oversight on my part. But I feel dumb, cause it was no brainer. It was a request from the directorate out of cycle and I just wasn't thinking, didn't cc my boss with my response and she got caught flatfooted. Oops.

Police copter is interfering with my tv reception. I find this kinda amusing.

My cousin misspelled my grandmother's name (it's one S) but this was taken in the late 80s, I'm guessing: [link]
As I said on the fb, it's a summary of their relationship. I'm sure he had just uttered some punny silly teasing words. She humored him even when he exasperated her. She wasn't particularly churchy, but she knew her bible as a text and could not back down from a debate. He used to invite in the door-to-door mormons and JWs to watch her argue text with them. Irritated the heck out of her, since she was Minnesota nice and couldn't decline.
I don't have a lot of pictures personally of mom's side-mainly because there were few in childhood and what there is...well, there are a lot of people they are spread about. I'm hoping more cousins put them online. We haven't lost one of my parents' generation on that side yet, but there have been strokes and cancer and some serious medical crises. My mom is the second youngest of 6, her eldest sister is 13 years older.

That's a great picture.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I am registering with a temp agency tomorrow and today I took all the assessments online. I have forgotten an awful lot that I used to know how to do. So now I am frustrated with my lack of brain.
But, whatever, I am where I am. And I have the opposite skew of work/life balance from most of you, which is enjoyable for the present.
Good luck with the old cat, Nora. I don't know what the best thing to do is but your plans sound pretty good.
Eta: love that picture, sarameg!
