Is it September yet?
No.  It sounds like it is October.  October 12, 1999--the day on which a very special episode of 
Buffy the Vampire Slayer 
aired.  The episode?  Say it with me, now:  
Living Conditions.  
Do you or Emily have the episodes on tape or DVD?  I think it might prove cathartic.

Actually, I have it on DVD, thanks to my sweetie brother. Maybe I'll watch it later today :).

Happy Birthday, Owen!!
Dang, I did something nasty to my left hip and/or lower back and it hurts like the bejeesus. I wish I knew what, so I knew how to treat it! Bleargh.

Mom is being very helpful with packing up my stuff, which I appreciate.  However, she wants to pack up my entire kitchen on Friday.  I would like to eat sometime between the 14th and the 29th.  She doesn't seem to get this.
	
 
		
		
I think we packed up pretty much everything and had an open box set aside for stuff we needed to pack that last day, because there was a LOT of kitchen stuff.  We kept out 2 plates, bowls, place settings, 4 classes, and a skillet and a sauce pan.  And a corkscrew/bottle opener.  Then we threw it in the box that last night.  It was kind of fun to live simply for a couple weeks, made dishwashing easy too!  (though much more often.)
	
 
		
		
		
Nora, I supppose that is reasonable.  I think Mom thinks we should just do take out between now and then, and there is just no way. We can't afford it.
	
 
		
		
evening conversation:
Husband:  I love you more than TiVo.

But it's close.
Son:  Dad!  Don't say things like that when I'm drinking!
	
 
		
		
sj - maybe not take out, but eatting off of paper plates might be a compromise.
