Didn't Pessi just give that to sis? Torva I mean :v

No, Jayd gave me a Torva plate the other day though my original Torva set is from Pessi ya. I now have a spare Torva plate from her & I think I'm gonna just sell it tbh for like the 348M and use that to buy 99 Construction or save it for Sora if he ever gets the combat level to wear it XD Or just save it so one of you can borrow it though I think @Sasuke has full Torva anyway x.x

Spring is on the way this is a photo I took today of the small daffodils in my front garden, it's amazing that anything other than weeds grow in it because it seems to have more stones than soil in it . 

But I'm grateful for the little daffs, they give a small bit of colour to the garden.

 

Ooooo pretty  I saw a few of these popping up while I was in Chicago yesterday ~ first signs of Spring coming and almost time to be taking some really pretty flower pics

It is too early to know the details yet but unfortunately I'm almost sure it will.  Certainly if the cuts are as large as 25-50%.  Thanks to SpaceX making access to space so cheap there has been a huge increase in the DSN's workload over the last 5-10 years.  Personally I would not mind a bit of a slowdown in that regard.  But at that level of cuts it will be more of a shutdown than a slowdown.  We've already had 3 rounds of layoffs amounting to about 10% of the workforce in the last year and a half at JPL where the DSN is managed.  We're already stretched pretty thin in the manpower department.  Most of the robotic deep-space planetary science missions are planned and managed here as well.  Any additional cuts will mean existing missions will have to be shut down and plans for future missions will be put back on the shelf.  Hardware upgrades such as plans for new ground antennas or network bandwidth increases for the DSN will probably not happen now.  One or two flagship projects like James Webb will likely be kept running, but they will have to be funded by cancelling older, ongoing projects that have finished their primary mission.  This would likely include most if not all of the half dozen spacecraft and landed assets at Mars, the two Voyager probes, and older space telescopes such as Hubble and Chandra, among others.

Wow I really didn't know they were cutting programs like that, that's awful

Idk I have a lot of anxiety right now. On one hand I'm glad to be at home to see my dad and sister but on the other I'm really not looking forward to tomorrow. I've talked to a couple friends on the phone tonight to try to calm down but I felt like as soon as I hung up the anxiety came back lol Now I'm just sitting here and can't stop shaking which makes me feel stupid or something

How I imagine @Sakura when she's mad

Today has been a quiet day. I only had a couple hours of residency then I had the afternoon to myself. I didn't do much productive but instead took a nap. 

WHAT THE HECK IS THIS I DO NOT LOOK LIKE THIS 

Today I had to take a plane to Chicago and I'm at my dad's house right now ~ it's nice to be back in Chicago and seeing my family but it sucks to be here for the reasons I'm here x.x I'm really not looking forward to this funeral tomorrow and I have so much anxiety about it. I hate seeing people upset, especially my dad and it's hard to deal with and process. 

I think it's like 36F or something right now and going to be close to 32F in the morning so yayyyy I'm happy lol ~

How do you use a sig on here?

Cha do what @Animedragon said, very simple but this one is kinda large to use as a sig, if you want I can make you a new, smaller one, better for the forums, and I can make you icons for the forum too if you want?

I don't like people either.  We have some similarities in liking nighttime and disliking people. XD

Yup but I feel like the night time thing goes along with the not liking people or crowds thing because there usually isn't people or crowds at night and it's quiet and nice ~

Some years ago a group of us went away for a weekend and one of the girls had a makeup case nearly as big as her suitcase .

Not that I'm one to talk, my camera bags are almost bigger than my suitcase

I honestly don't carry that much makeup when I travel lolll but I do have one entire closet dedicated entirely to it T.T

Because your love language is "gift giving" you always give and give things to your friends and people you love, then they start expecting it. I know you can't change it because that's how you are and how you express love for someone but it's important to realize when someone is taking advantage of it and tell them no. It's fine to give but when they start expecting you to be an ATM shut that down.

Yeah I know I need to start really being more careful x.x

Feeling more than a bit trepidatious after hearing that NASA will be facing heavy budget cuts.  Like most government agencies NASA overall is facing 25% cuts, with some areas looking at double that.  Yikes!

Even before the current Administration money has always been tight at NASA, especially in the DSN communications area where I work that supports NASA’s robotic Deep Space science and exploration missions.  (Think Voyager, Juno, the rovers on Mars, etc.)  Now Ars Technica has a story that NASA's Science Mission Directorate may be facing cuts of up to 50%, something the Planetary Society and many scientists are calling “an extinction-level event” for deep-space planetary science.  

Hopefully this isn't going to affect your job is it?

I feel mostly happy, a bit nervous about taking a plane tomorrow evening lol
