Good to hear the trip was peaceful for the most part. Yay for getting out of Athens, for you, the rest of us probably wouldn't mind getting to Athens.

Deena - I wanna run away from my life and come play with you and the babies. I'll be knocking on the door when the speech therapist leaves, ok???????

Well, I think that's peachy, but I hope you don't wait, because she's not here and she's supposed to have been here 10 minutes ago. I think she may have gotten my message that today wasn't working so well for us, but no one called back, so now I'm confused.

Still headachy though. It was about an 8.5 hour round trip to Delphi and back, and part of the drive was quite difficult. And then a steep hike while there.

A steep hike with the baby strapped on? After sitting in a car for at least 4 hours? Huh. I'd have way more than a headache after a day like that. Maybe a permanent twitch. Did you take pictures?

Deena, hoping the therapist appt went well. It's so good to see you around here lately.

I was wrong! Pretty Boy just got in and he's not sick and he's wearing a black button down shirt that looks vera nice on him. So I suppose I can make it through work today after all. All I needed was a little eye candy.

Did you figure out why Kara was bothered by being smooth, Deena?

Well, my dang transporter seems to be busted, so I'm stuck at work with a program that keeps kicking me out every 30 minutes. I need a computer cluestick.

I hope she calls to let you know if she is coming or not. That is frustrating.

Raq, it sounds like it was overall successful. I'm sorry about the headache.

I want some eye candy. All I've got is Nick, and he doesn't count.

I didn't figure out the smooth thing, but today she says her arm hurts from the inside, so at least the smooth isn't bothering her anymore. She's also trying to use big words when she talks to me, and some of them aren't English, or even Latin. I think it's an attempt to be more grown up.

Has she been secretly learning Finnish?

Exam~ma for vw and sj. Finding~ma for askye.

Raq, I always wanted to go to Athens when I was stationed in Spain. One of the squadrons, VQ-2, had a more-or-less permanent detachment there. I could have flown in on an RON (remain over night) flight and done some visiting, but I never got the chance. It makes me very sad.

I want to go home, too. I've been "troubleshooting" the same unit for nearly and hour and a half. I keep hitting the reset button and watching the same stupid commands scroll down the monitor. Then it gets stuck in the same place every time. I watch and hope this time it will unstick, but it doeesn't and I hit reset again. Lather, rinse, repeat. Hey, at least it looks like I'm busy.

Deena, did you ever find out what was bothering Kara yesterday?

All Bran:

I see the "smooth" question has been answered. If she says it again, Deena, try putting lotion on her hands. It's the same complaint my daughter used to make.

Never figured it out.

Finnish! That could be it. I wouldn't recognize the sounds, I'm sure, unless they sound like the Swedish Chef.

She's also been on a "What Would Jesus Say?" kick. I don't even know where it came from, but it's verra strange. "What would Jesus say if you got stinged?" is the most recent, though she's also asked what he thinks of her television choices, the fact that Aidan repeats everything, and how the cats play, among others.

Does anyone have any experience with their cornea wrinkling up like a misapplied contact?
