It just keeps getting better!

I have so much respect for our current president that I think I might just switch sides and register Republican! Take as an example the insightful video linked in this post by mechascorpio. Ha, ha! That George. What a charming cad.

Yesterday was quite the welcome back to work. Not all of it was really enjoyable, but it did reaffirm that I'm a valuable employee. A bit of reinforced job security never hurts. Details not forthcoming--suffice to say it pays off to have a (deservedly) good reputation for being dependable and trustworthy.

Last night I baked up a loaf of banana bread with some rotten bananas that I was sure would be past the point of use when I returned from my trip. Hurray for me, they weren't even as black as they could have been. So I am not breakfastless this morning. Because gods know I really can't stand to miss a meal.

I got to spend time with bestill last night, and it was the most amazing thing, watching her spin! I've never actually sat to watch someone spin fiber before. Fascinating and beautiful. Oh, and her new journal is absolutely jaw-dropping. I can't wait to take some journal-making classes with her.

I had a fabulous vacation with alt_rorschach and rorschachsix. A million thanks to them and their hospitality. I ate amazing food, slept in nearly every morning, did a spot of shopping (new bras!), and enjoyed some wonderful sightseeing. It was a perfect vacation--just the right mix of activity and sloth. Much needed and much appreciated.

Another war

Holy shit.
