Just got a note that she's flying out here next week to meet her daughter for the first time in 40+ years, and then she'll visit us and meet her grandson for the first time ever.
zOMG!!!!
Well, quite a lot of fuss. If I didn't know better, I'd think we were dangerous.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
David! You're up early. How is wee Matilda sleeping these days?

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

Ooooooh.
Today, I should either do laundry or work on my research. Both of those, however, would require getting off my couch, which I don't want to do.

I think you have your answer right there. She'd had a run of uninterrupted sleep in her crib, but that hasn't been the case over the last week. She and JZ are currently zonked on the couch.
David - are you going?
Hey Sox! No, can't afford it plus little league.
Feh - I had a job interview for a long term temp assignment at a law firm yesterday. Everything went well, they liked my job experience and they liked me. Thought it was in the bag. Then they called in and said, they thought they had been authorized to hire two temps for this project, but in actuality only one would be allowed. (I presume some Partner looked at the economy, his probably partner profits and barked about over staffing).
But you know...you could've saved us a lot of trouble by getting the authorization before you call me in for the interview.
Anyway, I've got to find some dayjob work for the next couple months because my new book project doesn't get started until July.
And, we've got a baseball game this morning.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Hec, that job thing sucks.
I think there should be a law for businesses: When it comes to the process of hiring and firing employees - have your shit together.

It's okay. I'm getting coffee ready and then I'm off to the ball field. As long as I've got coffee and baseball I'll be okay.
