Well, holy cow. How do you feel about that?
Funnily enough, this one was actually a bit of a blow. I expected it, you understand (pretty much from when she mentioned getting the divorce sorted out), and I'm happy she's happy; but it still affected me when she confirmed it. Ithink it's just that I've been a bit miserable over the last week or so. The online dating thing hasn't been going anywhere, and I've just read a rather depressing book,
The Amateur Marriage.
I'm ok now, though. Bounced around some different perspectives to try on, that sort of thing. But it'll still be weird to think of her with a different surname.
For sure. I hope it eases soon.

Congrats, Plei! Good luck with everything.
Well, I'm home from an 8-hour visit to the ER. I don't want to repeat that again in the near future!

I fiat that you be healthy.
*poof*
Which reminds me, I need to pick up some more accessories for it and some more storage devices...
Are they specially adapted for very tiny puppies?
(Dear God, I hope somebody gets that...)
There be snot monsters in my clients' noses. I hates the snot monsters. Hates them, I say.
bt, dear I want to give hugs, but I can't imagine anyone who could be as kind and loving in the same situation. Goodness knows I haven't been. Whoever does land you is a lucky lady indeed.
I'm terribly upset I missed, even the picutres on Em's birthday. I'm so glad I got to see her in person last summer.
Ugh. I hate to say this, and I am a little conflicted about it, but I don't think it's ok for a pharmacist to refuse a legally prescribed medicine for any reason, barring that they just don't stock it. There is no other area in which we allow for your personal principles to supercede your job. Were I a gas station attendant, and I thought, as I do, that Hummers were irresponsible cars to the environment and a symbol of a lot that is wrong with our frivolous consuption, and refused to sell gas to anyone who drove one, I would be fired. If your job is to dispense medicine to people, that's what you do. You don't get to judge them. If that's what you want, be something else.

Why do you hate to say that? I totally agree with that. You shouldn't be allowed to be a pharmacist if you
don't serve the needs of the patient first.
Period.
Plei, good luck with the contract work and with Lilybean's daycare. She'll definitely adapt when it comes down to it. My friend's daughter did--and she was a total boob girl, too. I hope it doesn't stress her out too much.
While we're on parental-type topics, what are the cool gifts for the 6-month-old and almost-3 crowds? Any books or toys anyone would recommend? I have tiny relatives to buy for.
Seconding Plei's suggestion of Robeez for the six month old. The pair I got as a gift for Owen was the BEST! For the almost-three, Leap Frog, Little Tikes and Fisher Price activity toys can be had for reasonable amounts $10-$20 and are LOADS of fun. Legos make transitional sizes for that age, too, which are awesome (so says, Owen). Fun children's books are also cool gifts.
{{{bt}}} you are a such a good person.
