Congratulations to the class of 1999. You all proved more or less adequate.

That's comforting as I seem to have misplaced my birth certificate and need to get mine for Novemeber. Eeep!

I'm refraining from freaking out about my family in Mnpls because I don't know their commutes, except they are short and local. At least, I hope they still are. A couple of cousins, my aunt and uncle. And some should be in Maine. So.

I'm betting the combo of heat and construction are the culprit.

Hey Robin, congrats on the homeownership! That's very exciting.

Well, Scola is still waiting for his after 10 weeks. And the Post Office told me to expect about 14. I can only assume that the fact that my name on my application didn't exactly match their files pulled me out of the normal queue.

megan, that's awesome fast!

sara, did you finish laundry?

Yes, ma'am. I'm a little more chilled out now. There was just a flurry of waiting for machines and updating resumes and freaking out and making the bed and putting away clothes and making lists and making more lists and ....I'm a simple girl. I get all whackaloon with alterations to my daily routine unless I'm completely outside my usual routine. Then I'm fine.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Congratulations, Robin!

DON'T FENCE ME IN BITCHES I WILL CUT YOU!

This is what made me smile last. Well laugh.

Congrats Dana! And to Robin and DH!!

There was an overpass collapse in Quebec last year. It's a little worrying but it leads me to think that all the highway infrstructure builtin the 60s-70s might be reaching the end of its lifespan.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I think I linked to this site several weeks ago? [link] It allows you to search several states' unclaimed property rolls. I sent the link to my parents when I saw my late grandmother's name and they just found out it was $200 from some kind of class action settlement. Free money!

I want easy money. Preferably enough to pay for an in-home nurse for Grace.

Apparently there was a mouse in the linen cabinet. So now I am rewashing and then ziplocking all of the sheets, towels, etc. is that anal?
