Yeah, the one in the shopping center with the Longs.
Okay, I'll try and make it earlier.
This is my boat. They're part of my crew. No one's getting left. Best you get used to that.

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.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
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.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
We just had smoothies for dinner. and I red the calorie info. if I stuck to the junior size ( 12 ounce) and add either fiber or protein it would be an ok meal that I would be able to eat more food later with out carbohydrate over kill. To bad I ordered the 'regular' size.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Thanks, Pix. I don't think I'm eating again today, and tomorrow I will venture forth, so no need. I also found a stash of Ensure.
Not to mention I feel miserable and whiny enough that I should continue with my hermit ways. The left side of my neck is now acting up too.

So my mom just gave me the date of my brother's public PhD dissertation defense. (He couldn't remember it, typical.) So I'm thinking I should fly down there without telling him. And show up for the weekend (parking myself in a hotel and all.)
Hopefully, the schedule will allow.
