And you're just the woman to do it!

Can you talk to her (and, hell, everybody) and ask that she notify you about things by email rather than asking someone else to remind you?

Well, in her defense, Friday was her last day before she left for the semester in New Zealand. She was probably cleaning out the desk to make sure she’d taken care of everything and found them. It sounded like she was quite busy on her last day, so it was probably an afterthought.

My library has an online renewal option.

So does ours, but I think not for ILL books.

This is it. ILL books seldomly can be renewed.

Wicked!!! Whee!!!!

Have SO MUCH FUN!

I'm so tired and drained that I could weep.

I bet. {{{Kristin}}}

Thanks so much for all the support today, everyone. I am feeling much better. I got a little done…baby steps…and had therapy, which really helped. And shortly I’m off to play with the cutest little George I know.

I'm hungry, but feeling too lazy to make food. I suppose I could just pan-fry a flounder fillet, which should take about 14 seconds (it's very thin).

Spending as much $$ on an outfit for a doll as I balk at spending on Em is MAD, correct?

Not if it's a magic doll that will give you tomorrow's winning lottery numbers if it has an especially nice dress.

Calli, I had not read The Grammarian's Daughters. Thank you for linking it.

This. It was a lovely read and I have sent it on to a few people who shall appreciate as well.

The tea lady at the farmer's market will be getting a visit from me next Sunday. I shall see if she has ginger. She is where I get the fabulous jasmine green tea that unfurls its leaves into alien tentacles. I need some new varieties to explore.

I would accept this. Sucks, but I would probably give her a pass.

HIPAA. That's a damned good point, there. Hmmm.

I would however mention this to the PT. There are things that deserve a pass and things that really just shouldn't happen. Privacy is just that. I can't get medical information shared when I *want* it shared without signing about a brazilian forms. And I damn well prefer that to people just randomly deciding they know better than I and taking things into their own hands.

Bay Area haircut needers, my friend Laurel works as an aesthetician at a super cute, rock and roll salon in Cole Valley called Vierra and Friends.

Which is only a couple blocks from my house and around the corner from Zazie. It is a very cool looking little salon - like an old fashioned salon but with hip stylists. Also, Tina ex of the Trashwomen and currently of the Bobbyteens is a stylist there.

Etiquette question for my Bitches.

I've been invited to dinner with a good friend tonight. I asked if I could bring anything, and she said she has it covered. I feel guilty not bringing anything, 'cause, well, I'm like that.

So, should I bring a bottle of wine, or should I just bring myself?

---

If she said not to bring anything, and she's a good friend, then don't.

---

Bringing a bottle of wine would be a nice gesture.

Though not really necessary for a good friend.
