Steph, I love the fawn. Continued good thoughts headed your (and the Boy's) way.
Former prof I met with loves my current work but isn't sure he has time to devote to a rec (I need 3, have 2 definitive), and tried to discourage me from applying because he found another school at the u too rigid for him 20 years ago.
I had a former boss do this and I just politely pressed her until she couldn't say no (mainly because I had no one else). I wrote the rec for her and sent it to her to tweak and send in, making her part pretty painless. Good luck to you!
God, he's a good man.
He so, so very much is. I'm so happy for you that he's your family.
(HA! SEE WHAT I DID THERE, TEP'S POOPYHEADED COWORKERS?)
Well, Aunt and Uncle have been gone an hour and a half and I just had my first official scare with R!
It wasn't too bad, really. She sits at her window most of the day reading and noticed that the lamp out in the driveway was on so she went to turn it off - only she doesn't know where the switch is so she was heading outside.
I heard the door and everything is fine. It's just got me spooked a little because the only reason the lamp was on is that Dallas and I were walking late last night and we never turned it off. (They don't usually use the lamp much). I don't want to disrupt her routine AT ALL, nevermind in a way that makes her go outside alone.
I was going to run an errand this afternoon. I may put it off until tomorrow and let her settle in a bit to them being gone.
Duh. I'll just take her with me on the errand.
Problem? Solved.
An Open Letter to Those What Were Right, Especially JZ and Julliana Who Were Most Vocal That I Remember:
Slings & Arrows
is the best thing in the whole world and I love Paul Gross. Cheer up, Hamlet!
Love, Aimee
Yay! It is.
Cheer up, Hamlet!
Do you need the song? I found a rip of it recently.
I would LOVE IT, David!! Thank you!!
Steph, I'm glad the funeral went well with little trauma. Your man is a gem. And so are you.
Trudy, best of luck! Dealing with my mom's dementia was one of the hardest things I ever had to do, and I wasn't even with her all the time.
Thanks, Zen. It's going to be a ride, that's for sure.
I just got off the phone with Mommy. My Cousin C (he's my Dad's first cousin, about 65) is in the end stages of
his
cancer. I tried to see him before I left but we weren't able to make that work out. He's done a lot of geneological work and wants me to take up his research, not just let is lie there. Of course I'm happy to do that. And I'm happy to be able to put his mind at ease even though I'm so far away. Not getting to say good bye to him, however, is pretty rough.
His daughter S and I grew up together, same age and all. Watching all my cousins lose and maybe lose their parents is pretty hard going.
