yeah, fair point.

Though if you could wear pajamas to work I suspect you would.

It's my biggest joy about working from home, honestly. Well, that and not worrying what tabs I have open on my computer.

I think grocery shopping today was too much for my ankle. Ow. Just took some Tylenol 3.

{{{ Seska }}} I'm 4 hours from The Girl, but if there is anything I can do to help let me know. If you want my phone #, in case the Girl wants someone local to talk to or something, e-mail my profile addy.

{{{ SHIR }}} I hope the university gets better. And good luck with the new house shopping. I hope it's in a non-dispute area.

ION - I'm afraid it's not great news. Seems my father has taken a turn for the worse. Seems he's in full withdrawl from da booze. Very agitated, had to be restrained. Talking in gibberish. A psyche eval ordered. Will know more tomorrow. Some more ~ma for my father would be appreciated.

Lots and lots of ~ma for your father, omnis.

I'm so sorry, Seska. My father had pancreatic cancer. My thoughts are with your Girl and her whole family.

And I'm sorry for you too, o_a. That's got to be rough for all of you.

Oh, omnis. How scary. Sending ~ma for your dad.

Here is a story about young man playing high school football with a little bit of class: [link]

Here is a checklist that might help you know if it is worth getting evaluated: [link]

Thank you for the link, WindSparrow, and for the education as well. I got 4 yes (including the "Are you spending a majority of your time coping, looking for things, catching up or covering up?" statement, which, as an information manager, is just the description of a stage at work for me).

I hope it's in a non-dispute area.

Since it'll be in Jerusalem, it'll be in dispute. But it's a dispute I can live with. Even pre-1967 Jerusalem is in dispute, and we're gonna live in a post-1967 borders. Mostly because it's 2009 and the city grows at 12,000 people per year rate.

And now, for more important things.

{{Seska, Girl, Girl's Family}} and {{omnis and family}} You guys, I'm so, so sorry. I can't even begin to imagine. strength~ma to you through all of this, come and vent here as much as you'll like, and we're here for you. Much love in both of your directions.

You're all brilliant (to use a British term). Thanks so much for your support. I'll try and get The Girl to lurk and read your good wishes - I think it would help.

omnis, ~ma for you and for your father. Thank you so much, too, for the offer of your contact details. The Girl's a shy 'un, so I don't think she'd be up for it - but I'll mention the offer to her. It's very sweet of you.

Shir, I hope you have a safe and comfortable move. When are you actually moving? Jerusalem sounds interesting. I need to visit Israel soon, so as to learn more about The Girl's background. And I hear it's a beautiful place to visit anyway.

I think grocery shopping today was too much for my ankle.

Ugh. Hope it feels better soon. I never shop without my wheelchair anymore. I think supermarkets are designed to make your joints crazy.

It's my biggest joy about working from home, honestly.

I fully expect to stay in my PJs for most of today. Sometimes it's great not to have an office to have to go to.

Ergh, Insomnia Fairies brought headache and I cannot remember if I was just thinking about taking Advil or actually did.

I am erring on the side of caution and Teppy by waiting it out instead of taking more. Caution because I like my liver. Teppy because I would have taken more than the OTC dose if I did take some and La Tep is a pharm god.

Now to try and sleep because I am wrangling cats and catching planes in the morning.
