Availability Time Warp

Those of you who've lived through this with me in the past, yes, it's that time again. Time for my brain to go into full meltdown mode as the frakking flowers take over. I'm not going anywhere, but from now 'til Valentine's Day, I'm going to be a bit scatterbrained. Yes, more than usual. Shut up. For those who don't know, I work in the floral business and manage orders for hundreds of east coast stores in three supermarket chains. Valentine's Day is rapidly approaching. Do the math.

I and my kids are definitely still around, and indeed I may turn to the web crying for distraction when a truckload of frozen roses arrives at the warehouse or some vendor tries to slip in orange as an acceptable v-day color. But for the next two weeks, my brain is going to be mush. Thank you, please drive through. And if you buy flowers at Stop & Shop/Giant MD & VA/Giant PA, think of me.

The Park, Monday Evening

Raven wanted to spend some time meditating, as she did almost every day, but she was having trouble blocking out all the background noise in the dorms. The roof and the sixth floor safe room were both handwavily occupied, so despite the chill in the air, she decided to venture outside to the park to find some solace. The sky was clear and the stars were bright, and the moon was just past full, which aided her serenity as she settled on a clear patch of ground and sank into a light trance, wrapping her cloak around her shoulders for warmth. She was still aware enough that she'd hear someone approaching, though she didn't sense anything out of the ordinary, just the ordinary movements of the town beyond the boundaries of the park.


[For one, and NFB. Shoo, squirrels, shoo.]
