Do it up.

Well now...  That is troublesome...  I suggest...  no, maybe not that...  Possibly...  no...  What about...  perhaps not...  I know!  Porn!  No?  Damn...  Maybe reading some FF here?  You know, for inspiration...  

Only fifty?  Need to find more then ;).

Trust me, I’m only about 50% caught up.

Welcome back.  Now where's the eight stacks of paperwork just for you?  Lol.
Hope your vacation was relaxing and refreshing.

"IT'S GARBAGE DAY!"  I mean, right seasonal movie, wrong quote...  And if anyone gets the quote...  You get a lifetime award of "Wow, Not the Only Obscure Movie Weirdo".  Lol.
Seriously, hurrah  (why'd it autocorrectto Murray?) For this!!!!

Take care of yerself! Get life solid, then come back to us!

We understand. Pwn the hell out of that there edumacation! I’m proud of you

Welcome back! 

Best of luck in your move. I’ll be reading in your absence… and hopefully writing as well.

I know the feeling quite well.  Although mine was more i used to be trying to get work done, then spend hours wandering the forums.  They're like a labyrinth here, once you're in, you never get out... lol.

Reading improves writing soooo you still get progress points.

Dunno, trouble's already been outsourced to Washington DC

Yay!

@CloverReef Know the feeling.  One of my cats has kidney disease, it’s a one way thing, diagnosed about a year and a half ago.  Vet suggested more and more tests, and I did push back, with, “will this change the prognosis?  Or help?”  Based on the litter box, I know it’s progressing, that his time is limited, but I’ve had a warning, I’ve tried to make sure that he’s generally happy, and dreading that final day, but it won’t be as big of a shock as that first one was, because that first one, I wasn’t expecting, it was basically out of the blue to me.  A side effect was that I had already had to start considering the burial vs cremation decision on the sick cat, pros and cons, so I did have a small head start when I did have to make that decision for the unexpected one.

Good to hear!

The fireworks at the neighbors weren’t to bad last night, but I’m worried about how it’ll get tonight since it’s now the 4th. I’m hoping it won’t get to being Sensory Hell for me. The colours are pretty, but I can’t bear the noise.

Thank you!
I’m going to have a lovely day of fantasy, I think. Political and otherwise… 

Think I’ll celebrate by looking at p...I mean doing story related research to verify that the body proportions I write are reasonably in line with hordes of reference material.
To everybody, whether it’s a holiday for you or not, have a wonderful fourth of July!  (After all, July 4 is a valid day for everybody, with or without the fireworks.)

I hope this all works out well for you!

Yeah, go to school until you get really tired of it (that’s what I did).  Congrats on making the change in your life, hope it works out better for you (in the long run).

It sounds like this is a move for the better, so congratulations! Nothing is worse than working at a job you don’t like.

I’m soooo happy for you. You deserve this reprieve from that terrible job, and the excitement of going back to a sanctuary of learning! I hope it’s everything you want it to be.
