... I don't think I'm going to start another ebook novel right away. I guess it will depend how my energy and fatigue distribute themselves, but I do want to read the book on Hirohito and work on German. Neither of those has to involve a lot of time, but they're more demanding than average.
I did it! I finished a novel in ebook format! "The Half Killed" by Quenby Olson. I was a little thrown at first. There's a lot of tension from things almost being said, almost happening. It's a good book for dread and atmosphere. ...
Oooh! Very pretty!
Ooooh, KΔ«lauea's going again! π www.youtube.com/live/BqmpkUd...
It's nicer when people include a way to find the source. www.warner.senate.gov/public/index...
Lol
Good wishes for Bernie! π§‘πΎπ
They'll grab the text, but it won't be sensibly organized for a description of a chart.
I said a lot of swears in my head.
Will try to listen later!
Right?! Golly.
I regret that I'm so bad with plants. I want troll butts.
I feel like a good-for-nothing mess right now, but also like I'd probably only sleep an hour if I lie down. Vexing. I'm gonna make decaf. I haven't watched any Star Wars: Rebels in a while. Maybe I'll try an episode. I *am* now about 85% through the ebook by Quenby Olson that I've been reading.
Time for the fancy coffee, Flannel!
I'm sorry I can't alt text the org chart. I'm using my phone and found it very difficult 'cause I have a terrible memory.
Yeah, I think that's the right idea. I'll set the rice cooker going in a bit. Good thing I bought nice rice that's pretty good plain!
Oh hon. You deserve takeout or something. Unbelievable.
Handsome guy, showing off the mauve beanies! π©Ά
...was somehow wrong. Maybe some plain white rice later. I dunno. I don't feel absolutely miserable. A bit off. A bit droopy. A bit tired. Did I have more of a point? Oh, maybe just that I also wanted to try frying some cheese curds and that's a nope right now, too. Bah.
I bought pork chops a couple days ago. I didn't have any fancy plans for them, but more often than not I do manage to eat one or two when I buy them, 'cause they're easy and fast. But no. My stomach is pretty messed up. I have no idea what I can eat today. Everything in the last 18 hours...
What the HELL?! Ugh. I am SO sorry.
Oh. That poor dryad!
...watching things and reading print. Not as well as I'd like, but so very much better! Now there are many many more possibilities and I'm a bit fried.
I am very nearly done with "The Man Who Died Seven Times". It's been fun! But I'll be relieved when I finish it in a few minutes because I've been feeling torn between too many things and need something off my plate. I *know*. What is that craziness? It's because I'm doing so much better with...
Damn it, Nate. How am I chuckling at that.
I miss having a little furry pal who inspects and sleeps on laundry. (Yeah, I was just in my bathroom wondering if I should wash pants. Probably.)
Ugh. I'm sorry. π«
It seems to have taken more of a turn for the authoritarian since I was a kid, and I wonder if it's related to the rise of churches that are sort of denominationally squishy and don't really do official doctrine.
You are saying this and yet not telling us how you voted in #MinCup25
I've retained a lot of "I know how that works for evangelicals" from my own fraught days as a Christian (until my teens), but I am dumbfounded every time I run into this.
Extremely innocent! π§‘
I keep meaning to say you deserve a medal for your search. That's very impressive stamina. I pant just after trying to get something out from under my bed. πππ
My mom is a big "by faith alone" person. You'd think evangelicals would like this section from James more, but nah. www.biblegateway.com/passage/?sea...
I hope everything's okay! πππ
I suspect my vote will go to #Stibnite, but I gotta go look up #Okenite.
Oh my gosh. Poor little mama! Definitely glad this litter has been safe. God damn feline biology.
Sounds wonderful! Good luck!
Cats and their dimensional pockets. Smh.
Oh my gosh. π©Άπ€π€
I was sure it would take longer for the original to reappear. Holy crap.

Bunny Askey's bow-legged dog musta been something. π
Awwww. I get you.
Oh my. π€ Hell yeah, Margaret Atwood.
π«π«π« Thank you! π It helps a lot to have people who'll be like, "Yeah! I get it! No judgment!" 'Cause I'm very judgy to myself and it is not beneficial, lol.
My disaster greets your disaster. I upset my system with my breakfast and whined to myself that I didn't even know which thing to blame. "MAYBE YOU NEED TO STOP CONSUMING TROUBLE, dumbass." Why is it so hard?!
It's always fun to wake up and go, "That really felt like it made sense, but it was soooo fucked up!" π€£
Hahaha! It's my birthday month, too, but not until next week. I've made zero plans, lol.
Hahaha! What a cute druggie!
I'm interested!
Those are good!
Zombie?! Oh my. That's awesome. First Zombie I've wanted to cuddle.
It was very funny once my brain was unscrambled! π
Awwww! π
I woke up a few minutes ago and wrote a post about the bad dream I had. Then I read it over: "I really can't convey how the turkeys led to nobody being born in '87, can I?" Nope.
I have to try to rest my left hand today. Argh. I ought to schedule the surgery for my thumb with the hand doc. It's just that everything feels hectic. Coffee's ready. Music? History podcast? Book? Hm.
The installation of βWith These Handsβ by Hank Willis Thomas has begun at Davidson College. Dedication in Oct. It honors & remembers the exploited & enslaved who built the college & contributed to it over the past two+ centuries. The hands reach out of the Earth to make a powerful statement.
They are the BEST names! And they're pretty good girls. (We have some anxiety and snapping issues sometimes.)
Finished short story: The Duchess at Prayer, by Edith Wharton
Stroobly hair sounds very bad!
Y'all look great! Happy anniversary! π

I love the zombie hands! π₯Ή
This one of those things where anyone involved with me needs to understand not to have Woman expectations of me. I am not a good housekeeper. I can be extremely oblivious. I will *try* to pay attention if someone else is always bothered by the floor in need of mopping first, but...
π
Look at those fluffy bloomers! π€
My mother brought Bagel and Potato over for some social practice. This is Bagel. She's the placid, cuddly one. Potato can be cuddly, but today she was busy running around and playing with one of the mousie stuffies. Very silly.
Thanks!
You need to look for occasions to say that now. π€£
I can only tell he's freaking adorable! ππ©Ά
Not that I haven't got enough anthologies to go on with, but I just bought this one.

Eeeeeee! π©Άπ©Άπ©Ά
Oh. Oh dear. π€£
Oh! Poor Millie! That's impressive, but ugh.
My stomach growled. I'm eating a Katz apple crisp toaster pastry. I hope this isn't enough to knock me out. π
"Wait. Don't your parents live like a quarter of a mile away from a Meta data center?" Yup. And they still have radio internet.
Oooooh! Do me, do me!
...is the first time I'm really seeing video.
We had internet, but it was a wireless connection that was pretty slow. It wasn't something you could watch video over. "Wireless" sounds weird now. It was a radio connection. Still is, lol. My parents still have that ISP out of Cortland. It's faster now, though. ANYWAY. This documentary...
...we didn't really have television. They've never had cable out there and I don't think we had satellite yet. I'm pretty sure I got the satellite TV after I started at HomePages. My parents were scraping by. My father's work comp case that began in '96 still hadn't been settled.
Just finished the first episode of the Katrina documentary series from National Geographic. People have been talking about Katrina and I kept trying to place why I didn't have much memory of the TV coverage. It's because in 2005, I was living back at my parents' house and...
It isn't fun when the Sleep Now button in my stomach is active. I want to be able to have snacks AND do things.
Look at these names! Oh my gosh. I'm gonna do my best to keep up this year. Notifications on!
Sweet or savory? (I like both, I just need to know what to expect. π€£)
Spoiled hedgehogs! π
Mitosis! π
Hahaha!
Beans! π©Ά
Haha! Charles 6 of France was QUITE a handful. I think it was actually the poor palace servants who had the dirty jobs, though. www.thecollector.com/charles-vi-f...
Hahaha! Thank you, thank you.
I did not realize quite how, um, angry I was. Golly, Sarah.
I was having fun picturing him suffering from Charles VI's psychosis and being forcibly bathed of his feces by the entire Cabinet.
Strawberry jam and coffee. Hmmmm. Curious!
Oh. That's evil. Glue grrr goo girl
Listening to a dance playlist: "Huh? He's a tomato spinning fast? Is that a new... TORNADO. He said tornado." I'm a little disappointed.
