Skipping (didn't guess that, right?) to post that, according to the Buffista Calendar,today is Sheryl and her DH's anniversary, and wish a great day and a wonderful year to both of them!
I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It seems safe to say that nearly everyone in the US should be careful in the heat today, since it's supposed to be 100 here today, and they didn't mention it on the national NPR news -- they focused on CA and the midwest. Stay cool!

Thank goodness Jesse finally posted. Now the rest of us can start posting too.

They mentioned 100 degree temps in NYC on NPR. As well as the midwest. (They didn't mention California.)
Is Jesse the Post-Catalyst?
Happy Anniversary Sheryl and DH!

I went to a party and got stung by a bee.
And then I saw Drive!!! And played with cuddly beagles.
Isn't this known as "burying the lead"?

Matt, I hope the medication change helps. It may take a few days or so for it to take effect, though, so don't give up hope of that being the root cause of the problem.
Jesse, you'll be pleased to know the Weather Channel focused on NYC in their morning report.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Matt, I hope the medication change works. These things can take a couple of days but just being with him will help. Even if he can't be cheered up, it's best to have someone around to keep and eye on him until you see any positive change in the switch.
Happy Anniversary, Sheryl & DH!

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
After this past weekend of hell, I am officially job hunting. Anyone care to take a look at a resume or sample cover letter? Any and all critiques (short of "what the hell have you been doing with your life?") welcomed. In fact, scratch that. Anything up to and including "you're a loser who will never find another job." (Which voice inside my head has probably kept me in this job far longer than is helpful to my sanity.)

What is even happening?
Oh Matt, your poor dad (and your poor mom, too). I have no idea how to approach your conversations with your dad. My guess is, as his son who loves him, you'll find the right words when you're with him. You have such a nice way about you, which was always obvious on the board, but even more so in person. If I were in your shoes, I would tell mom not to be worried about pestering your dad's doctor, and to make herself a squeaky wheel with that doctor, until your dad starts showing signs of improvement.

Matt, it seems like a good thing that you guys are in touch with your father's doctor about the medication and the side effects, if that's what the depression is -- at least it seems like that would give an opening rather than just trying to talk about mental health, which I know is often difficult. Possibly that should have been more than one sentence, but you know what I'm saying.

I am VERY pleased.
And yet, also annoyed because I left my house in plenty of time to be on time for work today but the goddamned trains were a mess and here I am, 20 minutes late. Annoying!!
