I'm just popping in to pass on the WTF news that Seattle reached 97 degrees today, and now at 7:10 in the evening, it's still 94. Apparently, according to the website I check for weather, this not only makes us significantly warmer than San Fran or L.A, it also makes us warmer than Reno, NV.

Really, WTF?

I bet Cass got boiled in Portland.

Are there virtual naggers?

This is an apt job description, really.

I can organize shit, sometimes do creative stuff, sometimes do simple tasks and work with lots of different industries? Not to mention not having to answer the same stupid questions for the forseeable future, but possibly getting new and exciting stupid questions!?!

Another apt job description.

Plus, VAs can specialize in industries they enjoy.

serial...

God help me, I'm watching Beauty and the Beast and having a massive, comforting 80s flashback. I remember it being the most romantic thing ever...and, except for the shoulder pads and the...okay, kittylove...I'm relishing it.

eta: I didn't remember Vincent's resemblance to Dee Snyder...but hey, still romantic.

If she sucks like a hoover you might have to seek legal council.

Depends on the part of Canada I think.

Shit, her name is Alberta; she lives in Vancouver....

Oh Beej, BatB may have been my very first fandom. Vincent's voice always gave me shivers--the good kind.

sj, much ~ma to your friends and their little newborn.

sj, your friend and her baby are in my thought. So scary.

I need to renew my library books online. They might be overdue.

I have good news!

Talked to L earlier, and she sounds much better. Like she's able to step outside of it and get some perspective. She also talked to the lawyer yesterday, and while it looks to be around $2,000, it's doable and her grandparents will help her. She also found a therapist with experience in family violence.

It was nice having a conversation with her where she didn't break down even once.

Also some friends of ours from back home who live here now just had a baby!! His name is Aiden

Oh, sj, how scary for your friend! I'm glad the baby is doing well, and hope the mom feels less scared soon.

Thanks for all the health wishes. Still waiting to hear more news, although I'm not sure I will until late tomorrow or maybe even Friday. I don't know how fast hospitals process biopsy stuff.

ND, I hate invoicing too. Hoping you get it finished without too much argh.

Oh, and Daisy Jane I am so glad to read your last message. That's fantastic! (Or as fantastic as a sucky sitch can be)

Kristin, hope you had safe travels and are comfortably ensconced now.

I seem to have skipped too much of the convo re sleeveless sweaters and whatnot. Am glad today is over, as I feel a wee bit drained. Only 2 days left until weekend!

d, much ~ma for your dad.

sj, good health to your friend and her little one.

I hate turtlenecks, and sleeveless sweaters are only useful under jackets.

Grump.

Way too early to be here. Had to take hub to airport at fuckit o'clock in the morning. Bah.
