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

70 in April this year.

Um, Curry, not Connie's autopay. Which is far younger and spryer.

Congrats, Sean!

Thanks everybody and hugs are good. Unfortunately, the washer picked tonight to break now which doesn't help matters. I fixed the drain pump a few months ago when it stopped draining and it's starting to leak badly. I suspect I bungled the repair.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I really wish Alan Rickman and David Bowie were not the exact same age as my mother.

Yeah.

I do love all the Truly, Madly, Deeply clips being shared everywhere. I loved that movie.

Sean, congrats!

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

I've never seen Truly, Madly, Deeply. Rickman is my OTMetatron, though.

Washing machines are so uncooperative.

My Buy All the Pumpkin Things spree is still paying dividends. I have been in that state of wanting food but nothing sounding good for a couple few hours and finally the Pumpkin-O's called to me. Delicious! I haven't had a bowl of col cereal in ages, that stuff is good.

Congratulations, Sean!

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

So. Am drunk.

Was out with my team at the wine bar in a hotel by the office. Who are no longer my team due to another shake-up. It's me and my senior person, and we're several bottles in.

A guy says something to the effect of can you quiet down. Which we do, and we weren't really saying anything.

Which is good, cause I realize belatedly that the guy is our global CEO.

We ask him to join us and spend another hour and another bottle of wine shooting the shit. We find out when we're leaving that he picked up our tab.

Whut?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Gud, my DH forgot to pay the mortgage one month. He was beating himself up pretty badly, but we had to pay a fine and we still have our house so, it was minor. As he says to me when I freak out over work mistakes, "You're a human being who is not perfect just like, oh, everyone on Earth. Perfection is impossible."

Wow, brenda!
