And now, with Jesse's comma (thanks!), the letter is typed.

Now to re-compile all the files into one big one, according to order, and then - oh, the most pleasant music of typing.

You'll have to post as Dr. Nilly soon!

I'm feeling incompetent tonight. I'm not trying anything else.

It's cultural (Armenian and Latina respectively). The whole thing makes me irate!

Aw Kat, I'm so sorry to hear that.

I dutifully measured the length of dryer hose I needed, went out and got...the wrong kind, just a bit too short. Except I measured again, and it should be just right, it just isn't.

Measure twice, return twice.

Barb, fingers crossed on the hematologist visit.

ita, sending job~ma your way.

Kat, that's so frustrating, but it also makes me wonder why they applied in the first place.

I'm watching Inside the Obama White House and I continue to be IN LOVE with the first family. DH is still enchanted--and that's saying something.

the wrong kind, just a bit too short. Except I measured again, and it should be just right, it just isn't

Hmm, the uncertainty principle states that there are some couples of parameters who share a certain level of uncertainty between them (so the more precise is the measurement of one of them, the less precise is the measurement of the other). I wonder if the length and kind of the hose are just another one of these couples, a new phenomenon in physics, which was just today discovered by sarameg (who dared call herself incompetent). This could open a whole new field of household-items physics. Next: the width of couches and of staircases in which they are supposed to go through.

they are both opting to go to community college

Kat, believe it or not, my daughter's counselor is suggesting that she do the honors transfer program at the JC near us because it's less stress than a 4-year, she can knock out her remaining classes in one year and transfer as a junior so she'll either have an extra year to get her upper division stuff done or graduate early, plus the guarantee of admission to her school of choice (UCLA or UCSD) and her degree will be from the 4-year school. Don't know if that makes you feel any better or not, I completely understand the irate-ness though.

I'm watching too, Cash. Politics, I've got complaints, but comportment and charm and Michelle? Oh hell yeah.

Measure twice, return twice.

No kidding. Which reminds me, I'm just going to fucking replace the bottom half of the drainspout. It's clogging back up (still flows barely, but I can't get all the debris out.) Just going to get a length of pvc and yank the old metal before it damages the stucco.

Nilly, you made me laugh!

Thunderstorm out there.
