Natter 78: I might need to watch some Buffy for inspiration

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Had some ups and downs this past week.

Ups: Spent this past weekend in Toronto at FilKOntario. Got to see people I haven't seen in a while and heard some wonderful music.

Downs: Mr. S had a major meltdown at school with aggression towards a fellow student and staff. He's been suspended for the rest of the week. He's staying with the nanny since Gary's away at the latest round of the building code hearings.(He gets back late tomorrow)

(Poor Gary had to get up at stupid o'clock Sunday to catch an 8:15 flight.)

Heart~ma, Matt!

I am so ready to join a lisah cult!

Laura, let me know if you want any induction ready pans at wholesale (offer limited to my company’s brands, other restrictions that I don’t know off the top of my head may apply)

Our wings are not tired.

Thanks, -t. I may reach out after you get back from your adventures. Also, tell all! How is it going?

Really good! Although typing on a moving train is a challenge. I’ll be in one place for almost a week starting tonight, so I’ll update more during that time, I expect

Thrive to spite them

Along with the other clothes confusion I always see muumuus and caftans used interchangeably even though I kind of know the difference. And I also end up gnashing my teeth everytime I see "moomoo" instead of muumuu.

Also in the decline of American literacy I'm seeing "nick nack" a lot more often. I think that just goes to show how little people read anything anymore.

Trudy I'm really sorry about your mom. She should totally get credit for 78 years.

Why am I so exhausted feeling lately? Is it depression? Work stress? Burnout? Allergies? I don’t know but I don’t like it and it sucks.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Why am I so exhausted feeling lately?

Also consider anemia. Easy to check. Sometimes easy to fix, sometimes not.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Meara, its worth checking your vitamin D if you haven't recently.
