I'm watching an American Experience program on the history of environmentalism. Well, history starting in the sixties or so, it seems. So far, it's interesting, but it's just a bunch of disconnected things. There's still a while to go, though. I think the official word of this program is "insidious" -- I swear, someone has said that at least once a minute.

So weird--I just got a facebook message from the old owners of the house!! Guess that's what comes of having a unique name!! (Basically just said 'Enjoy! We loved the bedroom view, let us know if you want any recommendations on the area")

Awww, I hope you enjoy the bedroom view as well. Hee. I'm 12.

Barb, your house is lovely and your family and friends even moreso.

DO NOT QUESTION MY SPATIAL RECOGNITION SKILLS, BITCHES!

Precisely. I recognize fully that I have a sense of distance that can leave much to be desired and a downright unhealthy relationship with gravity but I have spatial recognition skillz. I blame Tetris.

Barb, your house is lovely and your family and friends even moreso.

Aw, thank you! I'm so glad you were able to make it up. My in-laws were so tickled by the idea that we'd only just met in person for the first time. They so loved meeting everyone and are now genuinely reassured that we are in a good place for us. They still hate that we're three thousand miles away, but they're no longer so confused by the fact that we up and did it.

And how pleased was I that Pete wanted a piece of key lime pie for the road? Hee!

This environmentalism program has convinced me that WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE. Either from running out of food or from being poisoned by various industrial chemicals.

Perhaps I should find something else to watch. This is important, but not really what I need when I'm already stressed.

Hil, the finale of RuPaul's drag race is on, if you need an option.

Actually, it's the clip show, very entertaining!

And then taunted us because *he* had a piece of key lime pie and we? Did not.

Well we were continuing conversations we've had for a while. I can see how they were surprised at first. They were both really nice and I so enjoyed talking with them.

Me too! I still think your FiL is an elf, with his tiny feet. And your DH is very cute.

Your house is gorgeous and so are you. We enjoyed ourselves very much.

Yay for mini-f2fs!

Yeah, my bad. It is definitely one of the best clip shows I've seen.

I've got several channels worth of nineties sitcoms now. Much better for my stress levels.

I tried going without crutches today. Not so sure that was a good idea. Ow. But, I was also hurting at the end of the day on days when I did use the crutches.

Health care is dumb. I was just thinking that maybe not getting a job next year could have a silver lining, since if I do need surgery, there will be at least several weeks of recovery time, and it would be useful to not have to also be worried about working and also finding my next job at the same time. Then I realized that that was a dumb idea, because if I don't have a job, then I won't have insurance, or at least not insurance that will be willing to pay for surgery on a condition that I've had for years.
