Moving I suspect. Moving is always a pain. Good time to donate/gift/throw out stuff you were planning to get rid of anyway.

Art Crawl!!!

Allyson - so glad for the good apartment news.

Scrappy - I'm so sorry about your lease. Uh - niece. . not lease. Fuzzyheaded, that's me.

Jessica - do you have a chest cold with a bit of a congested head and chills? If so - we can say that the same yuck is over half the country.

I was a wee bit congested yesterday and last night got the chills and woke up this morning to total, painful congestion and chills and a sore back from being in bed too long. It's all yucky.

In class today, people brought food for a potluck, so I'm having really really excellent homemade pad thai. I made cupcakes, which are less exciting but still nice.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Today is Gavin's birthday, and I still haven't figured out what to get him. Spiderman jammies might be a hit.

I was in Vroman's a couple of weeks ago looking for books for Noah and Gracie, and I couldn't remember which ones Gavin had. Oy.

My dad says he asks when I am coming to make cookies with him all the time, so my mom is making cookies with him today.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

do you have a chest cold with a bit of a congested head and chills?

Yep. Only for "bit of a congested head" say "holy fuck my head feels like it's going to EXPLODE FROM THE PRESSURE ON MY SINUSES HOLY FUCKING FUCK OW."

Our wings are not tired.

Ugh, feel better Jessica.

Yay Allyson! You have earned the good apartment ~ma.

Oh Scrappy, I'm so sorry. Much comfort and peace to you and yours.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

My mother is trying to save some email attachments to her hard drive. My father is trying to describe to her how to do it. They're trying to do this while sitting on opposite sides of the room, with him not looking at the screen of her computer, and it is driving me crazy to listen to. "OK, now right click on the picture, and click "download."" "There is no "download" option." "Well, what options are there?" "[list of options]" "OK, click "save as."" Etc. Every single step, it's "click this" "that's not an option" "well, what are the options?" This started last night, and she still hasn't gotten the pictures downloaded, because one or other will give up before they get there.

My dad and sister are coming down today for the holiday. They got like 12 inches of snow yesterday in Milwaukee.

So he just emailed me that he got tired of waiting for her so he went out and cleared the sidewalk and most of the driveway and is leaving the rest for her so running a little late yadda yadda.

For cripes sake, man. You are 68 years old, have had a couple of heart attacks, and had surgery on your hand for carpal tunnel two weeks ago. DON'T DO THAT.

Sometimes stubborn is all you've got to run on.

And sometimes it's just a character flaw.
