Heh. I just checked in with JZ.

She said she had Matilda nestled in the boppy in front of her while she pumped last night. When the baby heard the machine turn on she glanced up and saw something at Mommy's Breast and it wasn't her! Her eyes widened and she shot dagger glares of jealousy at the pump. "Back off, Pumpy! That's mine!"

Oh, so cute!!! Is JZ pumping so she can sleep at night, or to establish her supply?

I have skipped like the skippiest thing, so forgive me for just jumping in:

lisah in the Bay Area? Woot!

Libkitty, what are your October Monterey dates? We want to get down there to look at the shark, and I see they're letting members and guests in early on the weekends.

My interview on Thursday seemed to go well, so I'm not only happy it's over, I'm happy with what I did there. Now I'm in Richmond letting my Mom mother me. It's Teh Awesome. Mini-golf this afternoon with the nieces and nephews.

YAY SPARKY

I just got an email note from my friend B, who has just moved away from the area, which looks kinda like a suicide note, without it being a suicide note...

This is all a huge mistake, things are going bad to worst. I interviewed at a place two weeks ago and they said they would check my references and call me back for a second interview. Never heard anything. I don't know, it doesn't matter.

You know I appreciate everything you've done for me as a friend but I think this path in our lives has come to an end. You're really busy with school, work, home and marriage. I understand that your time is really precious. I'm just treading the same old water.

You and Tom enjoy your holiday weekend however or wherever you want. Thanks for everything. Have a good life.

I called and left a voicemail for her. I don't know what to do. I don't know her family's number and I sent an email to someone who might.

Oh, so cute!!! Is JZ pumping so she can sleep at night, or to establish her supply?

Establish the supply. Matilda's not got a lot of suck power since she's early.

That's concerning, Nora. I'd definitely consider that chronic depression at the very least, and I'd be very concerned about suicide.

Oh Nora. I think trying to get ahold of someone who can do something, particularly someone who can go over to her place, is probably a good idea.

Thirding the concern about that email, Nora. Hopefully you can get ahold of her family quickly!

Fourthing. Also, {{{Nora}}}, because that is just an awful e-mail to receive.

Is dressing an almost two year old as a goth pixie too much for the age? Is it more appropriate for when she's like, 5?
