Much healing-ma to tiggy's family.

I'm still not sure what's happening with my day. Stove is supposed to be delivered between 12 and 3, which is not what I thought would happen -- somehow I had "before noon" entered in my memory bank. Which makes it awkward to have someone here, to say the least. Maybe I'll have to stay home... I think I have enough work to keep me busy on my laptop here. SIGH.

Now tagless for your comfort.

tiggy, much healing-ma to your aunt and sister. Yikes!

What? We're actuaries.

Heh. So not surprised here. I like schmoopy actuaries.

Steph, I hope you managed to get some sleep.

Perkins, I hope the pancakes are delicious and the root canal goes quickly.

Yeah, it's true. I can't believe how quickly I've got here. From when Bec and I broke up, from when I started dating again, from when I first met AS. Three weeks ago, I had no knowledge of her existence. Now we've compared retirement plans.

I know I've been mostly a lurker around here lately, but I've somehow kept up with the Wally reports. I'm so happy for you and think you deserve so much happiness. I can read the smiles in your posts!

Timelies everyone!

For the mathy types, how to make math fun.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I hope you got some sleep, Steph.

Perkins, I hope the pancakes are delicious and the root canal goes quickly.

Thanks. Me too. Especially the latter.

Ooooh, I appear to be working at home this morning, in anticipation of the nice men who will arrive bearing my new stove.

The plumber's service call consisted of them pulling the stove out about three feet, turning a stopcock, and unscrewing a coupling. This cost me $123.76 (which includes $60 which will apply to the return visit to connect the new stove).

Someone remind me why I thought computer programming would be a high-pay low-effort career.....

Swouncing

Poking head to wish Perkins the most minimum painful root canal ever, with the shortest time and the least unconvenience.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I'm also impressed with the effectiveness of Plan Wally. bt's gone and put serious work into practical date finding and cultivating. It's rather instructive/inspirational/etc. When I get my ducks suitably rowed I may try to follow his example.

ETA: Much health~ma to tiggy's family. What a scary thing!
