The two shots of the red branch are amazing, but I'm also fascinated by the movement of the almost-but-not-quite frozen water. Ditto! Good morning, S'cubies. I am in all day meetings. Acck.

Okay, here's some pics: Marshall, being the grumpy old man that he's always been: He quickly learned that if he jumped up on the furniture he'd be safe from the trauma of the puppy: >snipped, sigh< Annnd, here's Oliver: >snipped again, sorry< Awwwwwww! So darling! I'm very happy for you all. Love both little doggies, and the names are perfect! I hope Marshall and Oliver become best of friends.

When I got home I had a message from Children's Services, from the caseworker of the boy I am interested in. They had met today, about whether they would tell him only about one option (their choice of best fit between the two parties interested in him, which is what they usually do), or given his age, tell him about both options, and let him meet people and have some input. In the case of the former, that one option could be me, or the other interested family. In the case of the latter, he could decide to meet both options, or one, or neither. So she was calling to tell me how that went. Maybe I am reading too much into it, but her voice on the msg sounded like she had bad news to tell me. She called at 5PM. All she said was (paraphrasing to the best of my recollection), "This is X from Children's Services. I told you I would call today, though this is probably later than you expected. Please give me a call; I'll be in all day tomorrow." So the words are very neutral, no? And maybe the somewhat flat and apologetic tone was just about it being so late in the day (which is no biggie, I know those people are up to their eyeballs in things to do). My gut feeling that it was bad news was more about what wasn't in her tone - no "smile" in her tone, or enthusiasm, if you know what I mean. But she might have just been tired, right? So . . . ugh. This reminds me of being with my girlfriends in my younger years, trying to dissect some guy's every word or tone in a message, to figure out what he "really meant," etc. Now this I AM anxious about. What are my moods trying to tell me? I am not at all anxious when the doc suggests that I might have a nasty, painful, fatal disease, but this - this has me all wound up. THIS - if I get a "no," here, it will feel like a punch in the gut. Not that I don't know how to quickly recover from a punch in the gut. In fact, I already have plans around how I will recover, if the blow is delivered. (Get ready, because said plans do, in part, involve S'cubie board sharing.) Please keep us updated!

Just got done reading the Serenity comic done by Joss and Zack Whedon (art by Chris Samnee) about Book - "The Shepherd's Tale". Very cool story format as we move backward thru time, back thru Book's life. I have wanted so badly to get more info about him, how he got to the place he was when we met him and I know we've all speculated about what some of his past might have been like. There was at least one very major plot twist that I sooooooo didn't expect - exciting! I really love the colors that the artist used, a muted yet dramatic look. I love that character, and so this intrigues me. I wish I was more of a comic book person. My brain just doesn't jibe with the format, for some reason.

*sigh*
Sleep is a wonderful thing, it is.
Julia, on the other hand, a yard of 2 3/8 screen river rock would be nice, for to mulch the bulbs against the squirrels...

S'cubies. It's been a long and depressing week (family are all okay, that's not the problem). I could use a hug, if there are any spare ones lying around.
