And I'll preserve it for my love when he returns from sea

With what I consider to be unnecessarily acute timing, the relief of finally having good news has been interrupted with additional and unwelcome stress, so my mother decided to distract me with episodes of Murder, She Wrote (1984–96) and so far the guest cast has included Jerry Orbach, Len Cariou, and Keith Michell, which I appreciate. rushthatspeaks has notified me of the upside-down Mondrian.

*hugs* I hope it abates soon.

I hope it abates soon.

Thank you. It is the kind of stress which will either shortly worsen sharply or clear up, so I am very much in favor of Option B.

*hugs*

Aw, I'm sorry. <3<3<3

[sovay]

Aw, I'm sorry.

I have been working on reminding myself that it's not personal, it's just a really rough time in the world right now. I think the last few years have been conducive to magical thinking.

*hugs*

1. I'm sorry about the stress part.

2. I am so relieved about the upside-down Mondrian because it is so much better right-side up and it's a relief to know that Piet thought so too.

Anxious for you about the stress, but yes, the upside-down Mondrian was a funny piece of news.

(Somehow I saw the Murder of Murder, She Wrote and thought you were talking about Murderbot. Not the case, clearly, but episodes of Murder, She Wrote are good distractions too.)

Thank you. I think it is beginning to thaw, but that was a roller coaster nobody needed.

It really is! I don't think I had seen the piece before, or at least not to remember it, but I ran the slider over to the correct orientation and boom.

The stress is beginning to resolve into more logistics, less nail-biting, which I will take: thank you.

I don't think my mother reads Murderbot, but she might well like them!

I am sorry about the stress. Hopefully Murder, She Wrote is a pleasant distraction. Whoops, upside-down Mondrian!

[radiantfracture]

Amazing how the red comes forward in the proper orientation & the yellow dominates in the upside-down version.

Fingers crossed for Option B.

Thank you. It is! And the stress has shifted into a more manageable key, which is still not optimal, but better.

Whoops, upside-down Mondrian!

I'm honestly delighted by the entire situation, except for the part where they can't re-hang it properly without it falling apart.

[sovay]

Fingers crossed for Option B.

Thank you! It is clearing, I just really feel we didn't need it to eat the last three days.

Now picturing Murderbot in Murder, She Wrote.

[asakiyume]

Hahaha! I wonder if Murderbot's media consumption would help it deal in its new setting
