The agency’s Deep Space Network facility in Canberra, Australia, sent the equivalent of an interstellar “shout” more than 12.5 billion miles (19.9 billion kilometers) to Voyager 2, instructing the spacecraft to reorient itself and turn its antenna back to Earth. With a one-way light time of 18.5 hours for the command to reach Voyager, it took 37 hours for mission controllers to learn whether the command worked. At 12:29 a.m. EDT on Aug. 4, the spacecraft began returning science and telemetry data, indicating it is operating normally and that it remains on its expected trajectory.

Pip had her checkup today and the Dr. was very pleased! She still has a small amount of fluid in her tummy but her chest is dry. They were very complimentary of her muscle (Dr said she seemed so much sturdier) and said even her personality was brighter. He admitted he was pretty worried about her at the end of last year and is so happy she's really improved. She's nearly 25 pounds now!!!!!! Which was her healthy weight before all the shit hit the fan. I'm so, so happy. Just gotta hope the bloodwork comes back good! Or at least stable. I'm so happy. Been chasing that 25 for years.

I cannot explain to you what it would be to me to be able to talk again to one who knows all the errors and all the efforts of my past life as you do.

You have got to be fucking kidding me...
And here I was, diminishing my sexuality because I am attracted to someone... I just think he's really fucking cute, but I don't want a relationship (beyond friendship lol) of any kind.
It makes perfect sense!!

My five happy things for yesterday
• getting to sit and watch bumblebees and honeybees do their stuff
• THREE (3!!!!!!) entire COOL SPIDERS SITTING ON THEIR SPIDERWEBS (which I did NOT walk into this time)
• devouring sixteen books at a time on my kindle
• sitting on the ground under a tree doesn’t hurt as much now because I’ve actually gained weight for the first time since middle school lmaooo
• the dog came over specifically to lie down at my feet instead of across the room and when I stretched my toes out and pet her with my foot for a minute her eyes got even more squinty and relaxed instead of “wtf” shaped
• BONUS: I impressed a coworker and appeared to be a functional employee for the first time in weeks and weeks AT LAST
