Aw, Cashmere. Dawn is wise. It does get easier as time goes by, and you get enough sleep and everyone gets settled.

Ye Gads, SA! I very much hope your electrobabies are returned to you. How frustrating!

Yay on the interview, Nora.

ION, I would like a nap. In the alternative, a glass of wine and then a nap.

I just skipped all but the last 20 so if I missed, apologies.

I am completely exhausted and still not ready to move. Have sorted and shredded piles of paper that I can't believe fit in the house at all. Donated four carloads of things, so far. So so so tired. And the dust is making for some spectacular sneezing.

But my sister is coming over in a bit to hang out so I shall buy us Mexican food and wait for my fifth wind.

Newest idea: "Garage sale on Sunday. No items over FREE! Bits of furniture, electronics... Whatever I can't be assed to haul for donation." I probably won't post the "assed" word though.

Now to find out where to donate old cell phones for battered women...

How are you and the kids and the boat

HI Perkins!!! We're good. The boat? She leaked a little during the last rain storm but it was only the hatch above our bed (that's what DH gets for foolin' with it and messing up the seal). DH was outside in the pouring rain covering it with plastic but that worked and thankfully we have a dryer on board so dry sheets were had before bedtime YAY!

enough sleep and everyone gets settled.

This is the key I think. I think that's the worst part about having a new baby, be it a 1st kid or 5th, they don't sleep and they don't let you get enough sleep. Then you end up zombie-like for days on end (but without the craving for brraiiins)

Nora, that's cool about your interview. I like that they seemed to be good with the work/life balance. I wish that the company that I work for made you feel less like an indentured servant and more open to letting their employees have a life.

edited for spelling dur

Nora, I hope something good comes of the interview.

Cashmere, good luck. I obviously have no advice, but I am thinking of you.

SA, that's terrible. Have you thought about offering a reward?

I'm glad the long interview didn't end up feeling like a waste of time, Nora. May good things come of it.

Poor side-effects-ridden Teppy. Cipro was the thing that killed the Sinus Infection That Would Not Die, but in me in only caused some intestinal rebellion.

I had a meeting at a client who's 90 miles away. Good meeting. Tired Ginger.

Who knew the dumb little stuff would be so hard? I need to write up the assignment and rubric for a poster project. A POSTER PROJECT. This shouldn't be this difficult.

Again, thanks for the sympathy, guys. I'm going to file a police report tomorrow (crap, I hope I have time), and the school did make an announcement over the intercom. I tried calling my own phone a few times this evening, to no avail. There's enough ident in there that it could feasibly be returned, but in the meantime, I really don't know how to operate without my stuff. I don't know about a reward, as I don't have anything to offer; mostly I'm just dreading telling my parents, even though I think it might be covered under their homeowner's insurance.

In the meantime, though, I'm going to call the elementary school every day to see if anything happens. What a mess. I realized also this evening that I archived my pictures nowhere else, so that's like the month of guatemala, gone!

I need, like, massive amounts of chocolate. Or something.

Is Tep still suffering antibiotic hell?

Newest idea: "Garage sale on Sunday. No items over FREE! Bits of furniture, electronics... Whatever I can't be assed to haul for donation." I probably won't post the "assed" word though.

I saw an article recently about a guy in... Minnesota? maybe? who did just that on Craig's list. It was a rousing success until someone tried to take is stove and caused a gas leak.

::facepalm:: Ooooookay. Turns out that, even though I went twice to the library to see if my bag was there, the librarian just located it. Go figure. At least it wasn't actually stolen.

Yay! I hope all the stuff that should be there is inside.
