The weather isn't bad, and the summers can be downright tropical. (That happens when you live in a river valley.)
Niska: Mr. Reynolds? You died, Mr. Reynolds. Mal: Seemed like the thing to do.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I'm sorry about Tim's loss, Steph. But I'm glad your brother's doing better.
I'm sitting in the bathroom with my laptop and my cat. There's been a tornado warning for about 45 minutes, and it's supposed to last for another half hour. Apparently a funnel touched down just north of town. It's a work from home day, and I'm glad I can be here and not wondering if my cat is ok.

information libertarian
Dana, Highland Heights is metro Cincinnati and the home of Northern Kentucky University. I have friends who teach there and live adjacent. We do have actual seasons, including winter.
Everyone I know in NC is posting pictures from [insert interior windowless space of your choice] including all the people at Calli's workplace, where she is not.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Teppy, once your brother detoxes, is he going to do 12-step or go to a clinic or something? Does he have a sponsor?

We're under tornado watch here. And despite having heard no thunder, pool is closed...until the part of the storm with actual lightning is due to arrive. The fuck?
Oh and my aunt hasn't been responsive in 4 days. They are thinking ICU dementia, but are still ruling things out. Fucking fuck.

He has a therapist who he's just started seeing, but he doesn't like AA. He's found another recovery group out here, but I can't remember the name of it. I don't think he has a sponsor yet, though.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Oh sarameg, I am so so sorry. My heart breaks for your family

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
World, give Buffistas and their families a break!
Meanwhile, the little guy has an ear infection. He's doing better today than he was last night, so that's good.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Yikes, Calli! Stay safe.
That goes for everyone in NC. On the East Coast. Everyone. Just stay safe, y'all.
I'm so sorry, sarameg.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
sarameg, that must be so hard. I'm sorry.
Steph, you and Tim have already borne so much grief and stress this year. I am very sorry that there is more.
