How's this for awkward? I go to Olivia's preschool class parent meeting and run smack into the woman that DH had to fire from her job not too long ago. Her twin girls will be in Liv's class.

They just had Tania Aebi on NPR! I read her book (Maiden Voyage) about her teenage solo sail years ago, makes these kids doing solo sails these days wimps. She had no gps, no internet, sailing by sextant.
My college friend, Emily, sailed across the Atlantic with her father when she was 16. I think it was like a 30 foot ketch.

Kind of awkward. Though I wound up temping for almost two years in the same building where I had been previously working and fired. Saw people in the Starbucks line almost every morning. Most were very glad to see me though.

Well, DH was the one that made the actual decision and had the face to face meeting with her. Plus, she's a recently divorced mother of young kids and the last time I saw her, she had to abandon a full cart at Target because she was applying for credit when they denied her a Target card.
I may be destined to only have awkward moments with her.
I did sincerely ask her if she was doing ok. She sort of said "yeah," and sighed so I pressed her a bit and she admitted things were going rough.
I feel awful for her.

It could work, it's just an updated version of Very Satisfactory, Satisfactory, Unsatisfactory and Very Unsatisfactory that they used in my elementary!

Aw Cash, that is rough.
Something is biting my boobs. I have five bites, one under my arm. Some of the welts are the size of quarters. I think all the bites have happened while I was at work, so it could be something there.
I've checked the cats and they don't seem to have fleas.

The neighborhood stalker cat is on my porch. I can tell just by the sounds Loki makes.
Sue, could it have been a spider or something?

Maybe. The bites happened over two days. Or at least I noticed two this morning (And I was itchy in one spot yesterday), and three more tonight when I got home. I suppose there could have been a spider in my bed.
