Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

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

While I am paging people - erika, I had a dream that you acquired a burger joint, and it was full of money (like the banana shack) and also a going concern restaurant-wise. I figured I'd better tell you in case it is a prophetic dream that I don't understand or something.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Theo, btw, I really think you should reach out to friends about helping to pay for Minet's care, at least -- people (aka me) would be glad to help!

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

I need to buy some eggs.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

So my errors this weekend at work ( nothing major, but annoying) have resulted in me being removed from the weekend rotation. It is the equivalent of throwing me into the briar patch. I won't be getting overtime every fifth week like I did when I worked, but SO worth it.

Normally I would be afraid about any reduction of job duties, but this is good and this makes sense. I am not involved in a lot of the day to day production talk and then to have to be dealing with it basically solo every fifth weekend ( or even rarer because of weather) makes it difficult.

So, maybe slightly worrisome, but more Yay! I can freely plan weekends.

Sounds good, msbelle!

Still hoping you can find a more congenial job.

Weird, I can't get into Tumblr from work, and not because it's blocked but because the security settings and connections don't go through. Not even with a Danger, Will Robinson warning.

not your mom's socks.

A friend on Balt. City Council said some wise things the other day that got picked up by the City Paper. I'm really proud of him. I may have made an error posting his words on my fbook feed (my friendslist contains a lot of different politics), but I kind of want the world to know that there are a lot more ways to think about what's happened, and what can happen next.

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

Followed Dear NSA. Loving it.

TB, all good luck in tracking down a diagnosis, and that helping treat your symptoms. Bodies are often difficult.

Matt, I'm sorry about your elderly relative, and I hope her brother is merely tired and confused. I'm glad you were able to be a pallbearer.

Suzi, I'm enjoying hearing about your move.
