I've made lunch and cleaned up the kitchen (dad's coffee stains EVERYWHERE. I said I wasn't going to complain...) and bathroom sink. Reading paper.

My parents and I are really close. It was funny, mom was saying they wished we lived closer. "But not closer than 4 or so hours drive. Any closer would probably be too close for you." It wasn't a criticism, just an acknowlegement of my independence and their urges to still want to take care of me.

Anyway, they're off to my brother's and after a week there, will take 5.5 year old D to NM for 2 weeks, which should wear them out completely! The day he flies back to B'ham, dad is flying out to Mongolia.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

sarameg, I agree with Sparky about your parents. They sound like mine.

And good morning, Americanistas. You all sound really busy...

Waaaay too busy for this hour, if you ask me. Now ask Kat, and it is a regular day for her.

Finished paper. Now to sit around for a while. And find things to clean up. Oh! The day I was gone all afternoon for the root canal, my parents wandered over to Home Despot and got me a "Sentimental Blue Balloon" plant. Really pretty flowers. Lavender, not blue. It's potted on the balcony now.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Your parents and the plant sound really nice.

Hey, I missed the Hopkins ER series, didn't I?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You missed one, but there are more. It's on Thursday.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

omg, I think my new coffee is laced with speed. I could hardly sleep last night because of the afternoon coffee and today it is making me want to explodiate out of my skin. and also barf

Thanks, Jesse.

And thanks, Sparky & Shir for the nice words about my parents. I think I'll keep them.

Man, I wish the rental office will open. I've already checked my work email (shhh, not supposed to work from home) to know what's gonna hit when I get into the office.

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

HMOG my office is a sauna this morning! It's usually a meat locker, so this is really uncomfortable. Ugh.

Gah. It is so utterly gross here weather-wise today. I guess I should be greatful it isn't in the high-80's to 90's, but being outside is like breathing luke-warm soup.

Also, the Gronk monster has stolen my brain.
