Yes. It's in a week! (Well, the 25th.) Craziness!
wheee!! Mine's at the end of August. He did meet my older brother when he was out here July 4th weekend. At a big party. it went well. He talked to my brother about the Economist (my brother's fave mag) and was sweet with my brother's baby (my brother's fave person).
Awwwww! YAY!
I think CBD may not meet my brothers until Christmas. We usually have a summer vacation, but it's been canceled this summer due to financial situations and one of my brothers' new job.
Kerfuffle Bunny cracks me up.
SNOOOOOOOD! Because it needed to be said again.
Sorry for the Tom's funk, Nora, and hugs to Sean. Just because there's a lot going on doesn't mean you can't rant and whine and seek hairpats here, love. We're not in the business of competing for the worst personal tragedy. We're in the business of helping each other survive
everything.
Also, I have Teh Rage at my pharmacy and my FSA (Flexible Savings Account) administrators. Ugh. And Feh.
Oh Nora, I so hear you.
Btw, Trudy, in the chaos of this week, I don't think I've congratulated you on your new job yet. Congrats!

I am putting this on a pillow.
And then thwapping Seany with it.
I love you guys. You've provided more brightness.
One more tiny little piece of goodness for today? My Audio Technica 4050 multipattern microphone arrived today, too. I have a very nice, mid-range microphone for my sound design work (and for potential rental -- it's a nice mic).
It's normally a $600 microphone, and I found it on eBay for $400.
And I just tried to lie down for a nap, and wound up just staring at the ceiling for a while.

I'm just going to re-post what PixKristin said, because she is very very smart and said exactly the right thing.
(I'm also going to say that the House O' Reason is always available if you need to take a break from things, Sean. Yes, it means you have to come to Seattle. You want to come to Seattle. Trust me, you do.)
Okay, so one of my colleagues and I decided to have lunch today and bitch about our jobs. She is one of the few colleagues I like and respect. Decision is up to me, so I think about an irish pub type place with good sandwiches. I decide, no, it's too close to work. So we drive several blocks away. We're at our table, I'm bitching about something, and she gets this weird look on her face and changes the subject. I turn around, and IT'S ASSHAT!BOSS!!!!!! I can't get away!!!!
