Perkins, I am still hopeful for some Afghani food with you tonight. Would 8 work or is that too late?
See, Vera? Dress yourself up; you get taken out somewhere fun.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I have done jack shit today. Although I did make it into church after skipping yesterday. But the pastor wasn't there; his mother just died. So it was all singing all the time.
The SO cooked, so I didn't even do that. I called my mom. Laid around on the bed and played with the dog. Made a run to the local mom & pop general store for snacks. Watched some football, and I'll be watching more in a bit when the Colts hit the field.
Other than that? Nada. I repartitioned my hard drive. Does that count? Better go feed the dog.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
That would totally work. They close at 9:00, but that shouldn't be a problem.
(we do mean the one in San Carlos, right? Turns out there's one in Sunnyvale too. )

Yeah, the one in the shopping center with the Longs.
Okay, I'll try and make it earlier.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
We took the dogs (our two and the one we are dogsitting) on a three-mile walk. Then I went to thye office and installed my new scanner and all the software for it. Then I went grocery shopping and now, slounging.

Only if you can-- an hour before they close shouldn't be a problem.

I need to do more walking of the dog. Only not right now, 'cause there's a giant storm threatening. My accuweather firefox plugin claims it's raining right now, but it's not yet.
So I have time to fill the hummingbird feeder before it hits.

Scrappy, that sounds really athletic. I'm impressed.
If it's any consolation, Alibelle, working for relatives, even if it's not a direct-boss situation, can be fraught with minefields. YRMV, of course, but it's always a situation to be thoughtful about venturing into.
Oh, no, that was definitely a concern. Especially since I'd also be living with my mom. I mean, we get along well, but that puts me at a disadvantage in three separate ways, you know? Plus no ballroom dancing. But it was one of those things where I was doing the math, and I was, like, so what if I'm miserable for three years? I could be debt free, have an actual amount of savings, get LASIK, AND have enough money to use as a down payment on a place to live that would actually have a kitchen! That'd be so cool! And then I realized that I started that equation off with "so what if I'm miserable for three years?" and said no. Because that's just crazy, agreeing to that with full knowledge of what I'd be getting into.

Three years is a long time to be miserable.
