Sounds good! And, I've got both! Woot!

On of my dissertation supervisors was finally in, and I've just spent the whole afternoon going over material with her. I feel so much better about it all now it's amazing. She did manage to pass on the message from my main supervisor that I could have stopped the work I'm doing a month ago, but it's a little late in the day for that.

Yay Jars. What a relief.

Pretty dress vw.

Pretty dress, vw. I have been staring into my closet in the hopes that something in the cocktail category (qualifier: that I want to wear, since I don't want to spend) will appear for a wedding I have in September.

We spent the weekend in Point Reyes Station with friends hiking, flying kites and playing many, many games of Rummikub.

Today is the first full day of classes, and we have someone here interviewing for a job. Busy day!

Jars, how frustrating that they didn't communicate in a more timely fashion. But I'm glad you are feeling more confident in your dissertation stuff. Is good to feel fantabulous about scholarly things, no?

Let's hear it for S keeping getting better. More time home, less in hospital.

Yes, this. Very, very this.

also, sj, where on the cape were you guys?

Mashpee. We also went to Falmouth, Hyannis, and Sandwich, but the condo is in Mashpee.

Pretty dress, vw!

Teppy, what are the dates you are going to be in Vermont. I'm wondering if it coincides at all with the week that Teacup Guy is off before he starts his new job?

I have left too much schoolwork to be done for today because of vacation. Not panicking. Or, at least trying not to panic

Jealous.

Health~ma to ND, and non-withdrawal~ma to Tom.

Thanks for the wishes of health. Hopefully this cold will pass quickly as I need to finish up everything with my old apartment by Friday. I have cleaners scheduled to come on Thursday so the last of the trash needs to be out by then and I need to patch small holes in the walls and slap a coat of paint on the place.

Hey, Aimee, you guys still intersted in my Microwave?

Yeah, that's be great. Thanks.

Sept. 2-7. And, because the universe likes to laugh at me, my Dad decided that he'd go up there the same time as me.

Yeah. The dad who woke me up every day that we were in Vermont for my brother's wedding, not because we had to be somewhere, but because he "thought I'd want to be up by now." That dad.

To be fair, it'll be easier on my brother and SiL if Dad and I are there together; that way they don't have to play host to visiting family for 2 weeks back-to-back.

But I'm going to have to have a serious talk with Dad about the fact that this is my damn vacation, and if I want to sleep until noon then I will by god sleep until noon. He's retired -- he can sleep as long as he likes, every day. I can't. And I don't think he thinks about that.
