So glad your Dad is coming, msbelle. You need someone else -- even if you just want to take a walk by yourself.
Well some friends of Buffy played a funny joke and they took her stuff and now she wants us to help get it back from her friends who sleep all day and have no tans.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
This woman on The Daily Show is irritating and won't actually back up what she's saying, but I really wish Jon Stewart would stop interrupting her, because I keep wanting to hear the end of her sentences.

Okay, so, to cap off my day. And Ginger and Cass may be the only ones to appreciate this.
(The Australian SOS, which, by the way, had nothing to do with ABBA, turned into a big fucking deal when the person I stepped in for took offense at..I'm not sure, exactly, except he thought "I haven't heard back from him, is there anything you can do" was a total slam and resulted in [literally] 47 emails tonight.)
But that wasn't the end. I was just closing the kitchen window. And I banged into the magnetic knife rack. Sharpest chef knife, meet big toe.

Just started watching DS and realized who he's interviewing. I have no interest in hearing the start of her sentences let alone the end.

Oh brenda. what a bad ending to a lousy day for you.
I'm trying to wind-down, but not successfully. I know I have a shitload of stuff to do (write a quiz on genesis and exodus and new testament as well as another quiz on illiad and odyssey) but I'm uninspired.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
mac is crashed out on my bed.
I think we've done what we can for the moment. We'll see people Sat and Tues and I'll work to get some additional introductory meetings on my own (it's psychiatrist search 09). Dad will be here within the hour and tomorrow morning we will work out a plan for the day. mac will start on some meds tomorrow night. we will work one day at a time and look further ahead maybe after a few days of non-emergencies.
thank you all for listening and supporting. I may have a request for research assistance tomorrow.

Many good thought to you. All you can do, one day as it is. Hope R can help, but she's had a wringer of a day too.

Oof, msbelle. Good luck with everything.
Brenda, that IS quite the day-capper. I hope not bad enough to need stitches or anything?
I just got home from Fresno and ended up sitting in my car in the garage for a few minutes listening to Joel Berg talk about hunger on NPR. It was fascinating and oddly hopeful at the same time. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
