Still on the Quest

jewelsong?

I probably just missed the comment where she said what was up. But I hope she's all right.

May I plug deleting_my_lj again? It's very nice to be able to check for a quick note when someone just wants or needs to take a break from lj.

But obviously I was deluding myself. Thanks to everyone who mentioned "The River" or who has steered me to Samfic in the last day or so -- it's much appreciated. But I am sleepy now...

It has taken so long to skim through my flist that I don't have enough energy to go look at "The River" that everyone keeps mentioning... Maybe I'll save it for tomorrow night, when I will really need the Samfic...

Goodnight all! I will try to be more coherent tomorrow!

The next time you need a new winter coat, try not to wait until the night that the hurricane-fed nor'easter is swooping into town to go out looking to buy one.

When your first reaction to the news that someone got shot and killed at your usual subway stop is to be annoyed and not appalled because it means you're going to take an extra forty minutes to get home.

Or maybe I just don't have the energy to be frightened.

A discussion that any woman ought to give a look through, as it covers not only contraceptives but what the natural pattern of menses might be, what affects the risk for ovarian, breast and endometrial cancers, and looks at how our understanding of the questions is changing.

For some reason this summer I've gone barefoot a lot. Indoors and out. Which has profited me, as tonight I managed to shatter the glass cover of a casserole dish and spray shards all over the kitchen floor. I've swept four times and I still keep finding bits with my tootsies. Fortunately, the calluses are so thick I'm noticing the bits by pressure, not actual damage.

But it does make me think about hobbit feet -- I mean, even if they've been toughened by years of no shoes, they must be sensitive to the different textures beneath them. And tough soles or no, it must still hurt to stub one of those toes...

Thought for the day. When you're drinking your pepsi out of a tupperware square, it's time to do the dishes.

ETA: A classic comment from my mom:

I'm forwarding this reply to a couple of relatives ... because the the joy of not having to write things twice is the whole reason for the invention of e-mail.

Although I'm not sure I'm going to enquire too deeply as to why the gentleman with the comfy chair had loaded four cases of Corona onto it and was inching it carefully across traffic...
