Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OK, so I'm listening to a podcast where they are talking a LOT about jillifonts and they are in Seattle and it really explains everything and I would also have a phobia if I were from Seattle, it sounds like.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

I have an ear infection, but I have no antibiotics. The Little Clinic doctor prescribed them, but CVS has nothing. And now the Little Clinic is closed, so I can't follow up until tomorrow morning.

I'm pretty sure you can't trust antibiotics you buy on the streets from a dude in a van, so I guess I'm in antibiotic limbo for the time being.

Our wings are not tired

ND, you are such a good person doing this for Sunny and his people, and maybe a bit crazy. But love you for it anyway.

Sunny deserves this. I also miss Bill, and a few more days with Sunny lets me remember him. Its bittersweet but I'm truly glad to be able to do this.

Jesse we do have more of them probably than I did in DC but honestly there’s fewer of other kinds of bugs so I’m ok with that trade off?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Another crazy week with Mr. S. More meltdowns at school, and he refused to go with the nanny after school. Gary had taken the week off, so he could pick Mr. S up, but he was not happy about it.(He had things to do that didn't get done because of it)

This weekend was Malice Domestic, which I commuted as usual. Because it's Passover I had to bring my lunch every day. Otherwise, a nice convention.

Sunny is in the care of his new human. I’m waiting for my flight home.

Coding and Sleeping

Rough weekend again, but I did manage to get some things done. Weather scuttled the trip we had planned, but it wasn't raining long enough for me to do the work I needed to do on my wife's car. New brake pads and an oil change. I made a video of how to change the brake pads for my kids to sort of pass down some knowledge. Not really polished content, but if for some reason you want to see how to change brake pads, it's here [link]

The new window frames held up to the storms, and we didn't get water in the sleeping porch, so that's a win. Still feeling pretty down overall though.

Love hearing about Shir's trip. That sounds like a lot of fun.

New human looked real nice! You did the good deed!

Keeping the water where it belongs is about 80% of home ownership. Good job!

Still feeling pretty down overall though.

Take pride in the fact that we gather everyday in a digital townhall that you coded. I'm always so grateful for you carrying on ita's legacy and giving us a home. A great good deed in the world.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Matilda and I cleaned the guinea pig cage! It was stank. (We got behind because she had three games last week.)

I've loaded the dishwasher and running it. I took out the garbage cans for pickup tomorrow.

And I'm trying to find ways to finesse the balky draining on the washing machine (we have settings for extra spin cycle).

I've got a busy upcoming week wit Memorial planning, first of month expenses, doctor appointments and lunch with Emmett on Tuesday.

Alert alert! It is almost May! Do you know where your darling buds are?
