Well, sometimes disappointments lead to better things, yes?

One certainly hopes!

Wow! I didn’t know there was such a thing but the farm sounds wonderful! What did you do in Ohio? My nephew lives there.

 

Grad school will always be there. 

Firefighting school? Why? My youngest son became a Fire Lt. at age 23.

 

Tell us about the bakery? How did that come about?

Well, a lot of things fell through the cracks. -_-;;

I tried to enroll in the volunteer firefighting certification course but the college didn't have the necessary equipment for me to test gear competency. You (or your host department) had to provide your own. Since I'm not attached to a department, I didn't have the equipment. -_-;;

The bakery also fell through and that was a miscommunication from the temp agency. I was under the impression the job would have been held for me as soon as I got to Ohio. That was not the case. -_-;;

I found a temporary gig that lasted for a few weeks, and I just enrolled at the community college. The college and I are also seriously talking about hiring me as an English professor as well as working as a tutor in their writing center. ?

I came to Ohio for lots of reasons. Colorado is super expensive now and I can't keep up with the changing demands. I'm also loosing family, and I wanted to be closer to them for the remaining time that we have. That was a difficult decision to make but ultimately, I feel closer to home than I have in decades.

How are you! Tell us what’s happening in your life!

 

 

Oof. Where do I start?

I've been staying at an LGBT farm in Colorado and am going to Ohio for the summer. I'm off-and-on in grad school as I can find time and resources, but it's not a priority. Gonna take a firefighting course in Ohio, and I start working in a bakery next week!

How's you?

Boop!

Welcome back Wren ?

 

I really love your avatar ?

It's a gif by https://mayleeillustration.tumblr.com/

Here it is in full blinky blink! I'm definitely the impressively unimpressed witch of the party.

Ursula K. LeGuin's "Earthsea" cycle!

Hello, Mother. I'm sorry about the hamsters. I thought they were - Oh!

I'm well! I'm out in the world, having Wren-ventures, it's neat!

Hi, Lily! I do indeed remember you! ?

wren! good to see another brownie again. are you planning to pick up on your status where you left off or do you want to choose a new path?

 

also, so you know we've moved the main bulk of the Tower back to the Forums here 

Hi, Cross! I'm happy where I'm at and I'm happy just to sit in the margins like a good footnote. ?

I saw that there were changes to the org and website structure but I do not currently have access to the forums. My old account still exists but the email attached to it does not, but we don't need to worry about that.

I see that you're Head of the Browns. Have they been up to their snoots in beans and mischief?

I'm Wren Sedai, formerly of the Brown Ajah. It's been a minute since I was last here. How are you?

I'm only a dame on Thursday nights.

Same! SAME!

I was the dame way when my rapier was out for delivery.

*high five*

Nya, did you do a naughty?

A yellow card?

You and your human flesh lovin' bird can come to -my- party.

*forgets to give Nya her tea and drinks it*

*ponders*

Now, the question remains, am I trying to steal your power or charm you, Oh Thee of the Three.

I'd even ask you out for coffee, it's that desirable.

Like, if you had three arms, that would be very desirable.

Some unintended features are more desirable than others.

There are only "unintended features"
