I'm being cheery and positive about things around the house bit I'm weary and tired and sad. Also, I miss my Dad.
{{{ND}}} I really feel for you right now 'cause I know how hard it is to be really missing one parent while trying to be strong for the other one. You will get through this.
In happier news, I just got two batches that "absolutely, positively have to be there overnight" out the door. Of course, it was supposed to be three, but I'm only human people.
glad the universe stood in the way , connie.

Oh, Drew. I hope you are able to mourn your dad and take care of you soon. Or have the freedom to cry or drink or freak out or do whatever you need to do.
My heart is breaking for you. I've seen too many (adult) children lose and mourn their fathers (relatively unexpectedly) this year. My thoughts are with you, with all of you. I'm so sorry.
{{{Drew}}} I hope you can get some time for yourself to mourn and rest soon. I can't imagine how hard it must be to pretend you are fine with all you're going through.
{{{NoiseDesign}}} Please try and take care of yourself as best as you can.
Colorado drivers license has been achieved. AND I registered to vote too! Woot.
Line was horrible, but all I had to do was take a vision test (no glasses, yay). Didn't have to do a written or drive test. So, now I have a California license with a hole in it and a paper Colorado license. I should get the real one in the mail in 1-4 weeks.
{{{Drew}}} I worry about the time when my mom will need that level of assistance. She is already losing her hearing and does not handle change well. This move has really stressed her out and I get all the fall out.
Gah, sorry for the meme there. Take care of yourself Drew. That is the only way you will be able to take care of anyone else. MWAH!

Go you! It took me about 18 months to do that and I only moved one state over.
I got dressed up tonight and we went out for a yummy dinner and a couple of drinks. I think I managed to break the awful, nasty mood I have been in for the past couple of weeks.
Can Teppy's boy teach walking in high heels at the BA? Heaven knows I never learned.
Ginger, if I ever get him around a group of Buffistae, he will *happily* teach anyone who wants to learn. For HOURS.
I've been busy all day today -- Fridays are the "off" day for the 4-day/10-hour-day workweek -- getting an eye exam and paying shitloads of money for new glasses and contacts, and then seeing my primary-care doctor to get a referral to a hand surgeon because my wrist, after 4-5 months is not any better, and then doing tons of laundry (which, shit, I just remembered there's laundry on the clothesline outside and it's dark now).
Anyway, I wanted to pop in and wish
vw a happy happy birthday
and offer more good thoughts in Drew's direction and some extra cardiac-ma to connie's DH.
And now I'm going to rescue the laundry before everything gets all dew-ed upon.
ND, I wish there was something more I could do for you than just keep you in my thoughts.
Thank you for all the kind wishes everyone. I really do appreciate it.
