Now tagless for your comfort.

Reasons today has been good:

  • Both kids actually slept until NINE O'FREAKIN CLOCK in the morning! That's 11 hours for both of them, which made them happy kids this morning.
  • Owen didn't cry when I dropped them off at the sitter. He just calmly got off my lap and went straight for the toys.
  • I had time for a cappuccino on my way to the doctor.
  • Encouraging news from the doc about my back
  • Paid the mortgage (and found out we have a grace period of TWO WHOLE WEEKS with no late fee).
  • I have more than four hours to myself for the rest of the day.

What is even happening?

Oh, Cashmere, I'm glad you've got some very nice goodness in there.

Cashmere, how nice to have a day start so well. I'm encouraging it mightily to keep treating alla my favorite people well, I don't want to have to put the day ON THE LIST.

Things have developed re: my previous issue, as well... we'll see if I can actually talk to anyone to find out what the what is.

Yay for Cashmere's Good Day! My the PT & shots work as well.

Someone has decided my office number is a fax number. They are so very wrong, but it annoyed me enough that I unplugged the phone. Real people can leave messages, and my DH can call me on the cell.

Good reasons for good day, Cashmere! Hope the PT and treatment make you feel much much better. I've never had that kind of back pain, but just reading your description of the problem makes e wat to screw my eyes shut and curl up in a little ball. Eep.

I just had a call from a recruiter for a position in Monterey. Over two hours away. And my lease here runs through December. But if I got the job and made it through December, I could live in Monterey, and wouldn't that be cool?

Very cool. ::polishes aquarium membership card::

What's up with the job your DH was interviewing for with the start up, -t?

He decided not to take it - he didn't feel right giving his current company no notice at all. He has since interviewed with Raider Image - that went really well - and is heading into SF today to talk to a recruiter. He has become acutely aware of how much he likes working from home, though, so he'll have to get a really good offer to actually go into an office, I think.

Still no haircut.

Good for him. Does he have a pair of bunny slippers? I always picture people who work from home in bunny slippers.

Having one half of a two-career duo work from home seems like a good thing. The DH is constantly asking me where I can work when looking at options. At this point, I'm more specialized than he is, so it's actually somewhat easier if my career dictates where we live (unless we stay here, then his career will be dictating).

Have I mentioned here that the DH is now considering a PhD?
