I am visiting a close friend in LA.
She was my roommate for two years.
I am getting to know her sweet 4-year-old daughter.
(wow, is it just me, or do I sound like lorin ^up there?)
The other day I was reading "The Nightingale and the Rose" to her.
I'm sort of, 'how do I get to be allowed to do this? This is wonderful."

But my visit is tinged with sadness. Her family is under incredible pressure at this moment in time.
"People without hope not only don't write novels, but what is more to the point, they don't read them.
They don't take long looks at anything, because they lack the courage.
The way to despair is to refuse to have any kind of experience, and the novel, of course, is a way to have experience."
-Flannery O'Connor

"In spite of much that militates against quietness there are people who still read books. They are the people who keep me going."
-Elisabeth Elliot, Preface, "A Chance to Die: The Life and Legacy of Amy Carmichael"

Damn, rough one yesterday. Return of rolling blackouts as crumbling power utility tries to keep stuff running. Also February, meh. :D

It's great that you're feeling the really valuable moments (those unexpected gems of time for sharing), even when under the stress of helping friends through a tense time, Linna. I'm with Avatar, and hope things turn out well for them!

I feel disapointed today on seeing the 'most ever users online' at the bottom of Kevinswatch Index page: 381 on Wed Jan 15, 2020 7:16am

Image

...as my post for that day was in Vespers at 6:58am.

Been lurking the Mike Oldfield fansite recently, and just missed out on that one as well :P

That's at least the third time in recent history that the 'most users ever online' has randomly updated. I think the Insequents are having parties we're not invited to.

Oh, a change is coming, feel these doors now closing

Oh, we're crawling with Insequents here. (Hahaha...Insequents are crawlers, get it? ;) )

Yeah, sadly those are not human visitors.

Leaving my job today of over 7 years. Feelings are mixed. I start my new job on Monday. Which means I might be absent for a bit, but I'll try to make it in when I can.

I feel good... I quit my job a few weeks ago and am taking some personal time to figure stuff out. Today I applied for a job, made banana bread with dark chocolate and pecans for Rigel when he came home and I spent the day contemplating life while watching a marathon of American Gods.... life is good
Now if I could just find a way to wear live bees as jewelry all the time.....

Good luck Cag and Jenn. :D

I'm...meh. On top of the scheduled rolling black-outs, we had a massive storm last night which knocked out power to my whole area.

Gods know when it will come back on...hope I have electricity this weekend... :D

Hopefully the fire situation will be at an end by the end of this week. They're forecasting buckets of rain in Skyweir's area - could be 350-400mm in the next 3-4 days (more than I get in a year :lol: ), which of course could bring other issues, but I'm thinking it will put out the fires.

Good luck with the figuring out of stuff. What's your opinion on American Gods? I loved the first season, but have been discouraged from continuing due to the massive changes in cast and crew.
