This is… um… about fifty percent of a post. Due to a lot of things, I have just barely finished this today, and haven’t had time to get it beta’d, or find out if it’s hopelessly confusing without the preceding stories. But I really wanted to make the deadline, and I wanted […]

Well, problem solved - Dog was gone when I got up this morning. Possibly she’ll come back since she knows she can get food here, and if so, I’ll try to find and stop up whatever hole she’s using. Sigh.

When Kathy got home from work today, we’d acquired another dog. Kathy had seen her wandering around the neighborhood a day or so ago, with the remains of a rope around her neck, but she wouldn’t come near. Some time today, it looks like, she squeezed through a gap in our fence, and […]

House is in mid-construction shambles. We’re mostly moved into the new place at work. I got the coordinator’s position, and now we’re waiting to see if HR will approve the salary that my manager asked for. I still have a really annoying case of writer’s block.

If you’re not reading tesla321’s “Uncomfortably Numb” you should be, because it is awesome. As is missmurchison’s “PillowTalk.”
