but nothing to note.

I found plenty to note. Not in good ways. Except the aforementioned bread and ice cream. The fresh veggies the babushkas brought to us in huge garbage bags were pretty good too.

Mister Kitty is home and we're upping his insulin a unit. He's doing quite well.

And I am flat wore out and my throat is scratchy. Thanks Robin and Sophia and any one else I'm forgetting who gave me advice on helping T learn her lines. We did that, and she also taped us reading them from the script so she can practice on her own later.

She's a delightful 11 year old, who can really really tell stories. Seriously, she's much beyond her age in that skill. She's still got that kid's tendency to ramble a bit and not know how to wrap things up, but when she's at the core of the story, she's got the best rhythm and inflections. I'm sort of in awe. I think I got some of her backstory, though it's kinda crazy, so I'm not sure how much is completely accurate. She's a sweet kid though. She was pretty shy at first, but just sort of bloomed over the evening. And lord, can she talk. And talk and talk and talk.

Oh and my ac is working. Original unit. Huh. There was a note saying they fixed it. It's putting out appropriately cold air and I guess the kicker will be if it doesn't spontaneously quit like it did this weekend.

Tommy, Brenda, do you have any vet recommendations? I'd like to find one relatively close.

I think my roommate's been using Higgins Animal Clinic on Belmont for the last 11 years.

yay!

Ozzie spent the day at the vet too. He was a total doll for them, and no one could understand why I called him rage boy, until it was time to put him back in the crate, then they began to understand. Now he is locked in the spare bedroom, finally, after I spent 10 minutes figuring out how to open his crate without getting scratched to hell.

I love sara as random pick-up aunt. LOVE.

I am already up past my bed time, but I want to wait for the A/C to cool down my bedroom before I go in there. Ah well.

I was gonna do that!

I half-expected it to be a xpost.

I think I officially have a cold. I wonder if I can stay home on Friday. Blergh.

I love sara as random pick-up aunt. LOVE.

Me, too. In fact I covet sara as random pick-up aunt, and wish she were local to me.

I hope you feel better sara, and that the air conditioner surprises you in a nice way.

Ben's team got eliminated from the play-offs, tonight. They made it all the way to the ALCS, though. It was hard on them. They played a great game. The score was 0-0 through the first 4.5 innings (there are only six innings at their level). The other guys just played a little bit tighter, and had better luck at bat.

We'll get 'em next year.

I like the idea too. (and thanks for the compliments! I do wish there were more friends's kids nearby and convenient.) Especially with this kid. She just sort of shines. Her dad seems nice from her stories, a beloved father, though he's of a sort of loud and large teasing personality that I've never been completely comfortable with. So I have to balance that. ( I mean, he offered me fish, several times. And then, since I read so much, to lend him a book. Dude.)

I think I might manage one post a day...

Herah, you have the cute kids. How did you answer?

If anybody still cares... It's not a real woman; one woman represents wisdom and the other is foolishness; foolishness may seem sweet as honey, but if you follow, you'll get in trouble. Faithful to the text without having to define immoral woman.

Then I offered him his reading light if he would let me pick the passage, but by the time I'd found Noah's Ark he had found another book.

QA: What is this verbose logging? Is it some special username/password?

Herah, wait. The TWINS are SIX?!?!?!?!??! Also, nice save on the dirty bits of the Bible.

I don't think that was dirty bits (well, not the good ones), so much. It read like Proverbs to me. Whatever. Herah's explanation was a keeper.
