Greetings, fellow Earthlings. And stuff.
In brief:
Spent a great week hosting
beerhorse, showing her about Seattle and environs, and meeting some of her local friends. I had to work through part of it (oh the joys of the freelance life!), but her buds helped take up the slack, for which I am grateful. I should also give thanks to Chac for keeping the rain at bay during her visit. Thanks, dude. I owe you a goat.
For personal drama, we have the following to offer. Car repair, for a failing gasket thingie that fits between the frunknorst and the whousits, starting tomorrow. Taxes. Bizdev that's been on the back burner for way too damn long. Billing clients, folding clothes, vacuuming, detailing the car, email, fanmail, Mother of God I'm becoming Dame Edna. :/ Saving the best for last, Ellie Mae appears to have a torn or partially-torn cruichea (sp?) ligament. We'll get the report on the x-rays today.
Big loves go out to
kaputotter for having such great reasons to be joyful; hun I am happy as can be for you.
jywldragon for emotional support--sweets, I'm with you two all the way.
pencil_rain, dude, got your call, will call you back tonight!
beadyo, woman, time to start our cooking trade! I'm ready to start up the barbee. Dog trips will have to be put on hold 'til I know what's up with my girl.
kamenkyote, mister, Fite! keeps on kickin' it. No better way to encapsulate my feelings. Crits can wait.
digitalis, I know how stressful the pre-wedding period can be; you have my hopes for a lifetime of joy. That'll take the stress out of things. *hugs*
Amoux, dearheart, when things seem blackest, remember you're not damaged goods, you're bigtime mightybone solid. No one is merely the sum of their mistakes. All of this will blow over in time, and you're gonna heal that hurt and keep movin' on. You are a dear bean.
calicougar, I am so sorry things didn't work out to keep you two here, where you'd like to be, and more sorry I wasn't of more help. Hopefully Virginia will prove to be just a stepping-stone for coming back this way.
meretrix, you foot-gnawing boob-flasher, call me dammit! Or call me Shirley.
spacehyena, woman, we are gonna have such a rockin' time when you make it out here in November!! And speaking of which,
amarafox, Holey Crap you'll be here in less than a month!! Gotta get cleaning--ack! Which also reminds me:
seso will be arriving this week--double ack!! Must get on phone...
mutleyjames, brudda, I love you. I hope you're alright. Bookends:
amphigori, girl, I'm super-happy for you, too. May your newfound love be your fulltime fullterm love.
That's it. Hell, that's more than enough. Get to work, you slugs!!
