In a very selfish way I just hope it isn't today since this is Pix's birthday.
That is totally, totally fair.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So sorry, ND.

Totally get it. In my grandfather's last illness, we walked into the hospital to be greeted by my niece (about 11 at the time) saying, "But it's my birthday..." I've always been thankful Grandpa held on for one more day so as not to cast a pall over H's b-days forever.
Good luck compartmentalizing today. Good strength to see you through. Much peace. {{{ND}}}

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Oh, fun, our lunch and learn is getting contentious.

I just got an email from someone I already don't like who signed it "Truly, [name]." What??? I'm not saying "Best, jesse" makes actual sense, but at least it's a thing people do!!

Yeah, pretentious much??
My grandfather died on my mother, his daughter's, birthday. Which was on Easter Sunday that year, too. They both were hard for a few years.

I would encourage you to think about the obedience training either way. Even if you don't get to a competitive level, it can be really fun and engaging for both you and the dog.

Also, in regard to the Malheur situation, one of the maddening things is that a lot of the land was BOUGHT - by the government with tax dollars - from lumber companies, mining companies, etc., in years past. So ... after buying the land, the government's supposed to give it - and more - back to the former owners? But the local tribes have lost any claim to it because ...?
Earlier, one of the holdouts commented on the hardships:
We haven’t showered much, we’re going to the bathroom outside. Making a lot of sacrifices to show people we’re good people.

I've done that at an SCA war, and no one was impressed.

As long as it also cooks my food, I don't think I mind that.
