It was sad to be in that building for the last day. I moved into that building many years before I started this blog, and now a new and exciting chapter starts (and I’m much closer to Brian C, Tom U, and numbers of other former coworkers who are now at a company ‘across the [...]

Jeff and I and the folks had a lovely meal last night. I am so happy to be able to return at least in some small part their hospitality. Work is intense with the move coming this Friday and then Monday, hopefully all phones will be working. It will probably go a lot better than [...]

For Tom and Peggy. Just BECAUSE. Also, I am performing my choon :Freedom: at church on Sunday. It was one of John’s faves and it ties in rather neatly with memorializing the second anniversary of his death and the subject of the sermon, how the way you vote reflects your values.

Now it’s time to head to work. The flickers were still calling after sunset last night and fired up again at around 4:30 this morning. Noisy birds! I wish it would stop raining long enough to cut the grass…..

Both of the cats are wandering around the house crying because “Daddy’s not here” (Jeff’s visiting on the Island). Margot was so upset that Daddy wasn’t here for her to wake up at 4:30 in the morning, she came into my room and started attempting to destroy things. I said “Shoo!” and “Scat!” (as in [...]

I finally emailed my Chang Apana song to Yunte Huang. I’m not expecting a response but I’m happy I did it. Jeff was guffawing last night over Dead Snow (the Nazi Zombie Movie), but I couldn’t bring myself to watch it.

Ooh, Maleficent me. I am hatching (aided by a psychic version of the Leather Pants of Evil) all kinds of interesting stuff at work. In other news, Keith was here briefly, although unbriefly enough to eat dinner and watch some Al-Jaz with me. I am trying to be helpful in other people’s lives and it [...]

She spoke to neither Jeff nor myself, but I was on the phone with my mOm so I handed the phone over and once she was done talking she loaded up and left. I got my key back and gave her back her household key. I am not going to go into details about the [...]

Yeah, Katie’s gone back to Daxus. If I wasn’t so stupid about men myself, I’d find some unworn dignity and try to range it round myself while pontificating, but instead, I will own up to being angry and resigned. I’m going to protect myself. She’s 22, and if she wants to live with an abusive [...]

I actually feel kinda okay right now. There are a thousand things I should be doing, and I’m okay with not doing any of them. I need to go eat something or my good mood’ll go funny on me.
