The big news is not mine to tell, so...

flexagonAt home: yay, no more parents! Also, I lost 29 inches last night... of books, that is. Yep, a 29 inch high stack of books. Most of them already went to the Goodwill; the rest are in good enough condition to be sold on Amazon. It's hard to get rid of books, but after I occasionally do it I always feel so light. :)
At work: TBC's ivy plant died in my care (sniff), and we'll soon have some new neighbors; Silver Fox and his other team are all moving today to be near us, and Dan the Cat will be moving away to an office to escape the crowd. Work is starting to feel, not bad exactly, but less personal again, more like acting. I don't care passionately about the project I'm working on, only about whether our team is healthy. In a way this is nice, and simplifies things... like, I didn't get mad at that other team when they broke our build recently, just thought what should a team leader do now? and did those things. In a way, at work, we all play roles. But in a way, also, we want to be ourselves, and we want to care. There are tricks to be figured out here.
