My company (and most of my industry) observed the 31st as the holiday

Same. I worked 3 days last week though, as I'm still relatively new to this firm and felt the need to build up some goodwill for when I request 2 whole weeks off for the wedding + honeymoon in October.

I've been off since 12/6

This year is going to be the opposite. We're going to try to do two weeks in Scotland.

Question:

Late March, early April, I plan to get a tattoo of a pink orchid blooming out of a cinder block. But I'm not sure if the words should be:

"Bloom where you are planted" or "you might as well live," with every I in the phrase replaced by a semicolon.

Be careful with punctuation in tattoos. They can easily get washed out.

The one after that will be a trans flag colored dragon with a rainbow sword with a yet to be determined Danaerys quote.

This was a reading at our wedding. "Bloom where..." reminded me of it

I dreamed that I was a rose
That grew beside a lonely way,
Close by a path none ever chose,
And there I lingered day by day.
Beneath the sunshine and the show'r
I grew and waited there apart,
Gathering perfume hour by hour,
And storing it within my heart,
Yet, never knew,
Just why I waited there and grew.

I dreamed that you were a bee
That one day gaily flew along,
You came across the hedge to me,
And sang a soft, love-burdened song.
You brushed my petals with a kiss,
I woke to gladness with a start,
And yielded up to you in bliss
The treasured fragrance of my heart;
And then I knew
That I had waited there for you.

James Weldon Johnson



And I like the idea of the orchid. Absolute survivors if you water them every now and then. All you need is a leaf and part of a root (and sometimes just one or the other) and you can resuscitate it.

I really like "Bloom where you are planted" or something along those lines. You're doing exactly that MT. As a person who married into 11+ orchids, you're story definitely reminds me of the ups and downs of uh... orchid husbandry? Whatever it's called, that.

Thank you so much. It's going right on my left shoulder.

As for the dragon wrapped around the sword, it might not even need a quote. If I were to add words, it would be "I will answer injustice with justice."
