Aims, keep that pie hole closed. It's hard to purchase pie for your pie hole without a job.

I dreamed that I was trying to stop a wedding in a Balkan village using some combination of sparrows, turtles, wolves, and badgers (which stood for air, water, fire, and earth), and I was fighting two ancient crones who could shoot sewing needles from their fingertips.

Total coolness. I am visualizing the movie.

I am completely bummed that Octavia Butler died while I was reading her latest (last) book. How can I live happily in a world that no longer includes Octavia Butler or Joey Ramone?

Lisah, so sorry about your SiL's baby. I hope she has a good support network. That's such a devastating tragedy.

meara, I'm glad MNGirl has you to talk to. I hope she gets over the creepy crawlies quickly.

Cash, I hope you're feeling better and I'm glad big O is over the crud.

Jessica and Beth, beautiful hair! CJ is adorable. Emeline is beautiful.

Aimee, be careful.

Went to the doctor this morning; she looked at my toe, said "mmhmm," rewrapped it and gave me drugs. Yay for drugs. Our new home (barring issues) inspection is in an hour and a bit. I am very excited. Everyone wants to go and see the house. It's gonna be a wee bit crazy, but fun. I've been planning my flower and vegetable gardens already, though I'll have to return to reality when it's time to plant.

Fingers crossed Deena!

And thanks for reminding me. I love Beth's new cut, although I miss the pretty shoulder length curls.

Cash, I hope the babies are being happy and not giving you a difficult time. Barfy illness so soon after giving birth canNOT be good--and the boy having it first made it no easier at all. I hope Christopher and Olivia escape it entirely, and that Owen and you recover quickly.

HRH Emeline is a gorgeous and gracious princessa, and her royal mum is a wise Empress who knows when to be close-mouthed.

Much ~ma that there is no issues, Deena. Yay for dreaming of a garden. I know you have been wanting that for a long time, and you deserve it.

Ugh. What a day. My first tutoring student didn't show up, so I have a few minutes to sneak on the computer before my next student.

I got caught in the nastiness that was Nora's commute as well. I waited 20 minutes for a train, finally gave up, went and waited outside in the cold for 20 minutes for a cab. I finally got to my 9am meeting at 9:25am. Fortunately, my prof had a few minutes and could still meet with me. But, that meant I was running late for my first class, which I ended up missing. Oh, well. Radical acceptance. I can only do what I can do.

I'm all caught up in Math, though, and will be caught up in the other classes by Wednesday. That feels good. Stopped by work, picked up my check (which wasn't DD for some reason), and said hi. It was nice to see everyone. They were glad to see me.

Now I tutor again in a few minutes. Then it's off to another prof meeting. Then it's home. I'm exhausted! And my hair is flat 'cause of hat head. Oh, well...the joys of life.

Good luck with the inspection, Deena! Hugs to everyone!

{{{vw}}} Good luck with the rest of your day.

I just had another student register for tutoring. I now have six students. Is it just me, or is that a lot? It feels like a lot...

that's a lot. and your day sounds busy, but not killer like the last time you ventured out.

The asthma is cooperating, which is good. I needed it to. I've had a few wheezes, but nothing the inhaler can't handle. I'm so very, very thankful.
