Oh my darlings!!

Deena, I'm so sorry about the shittiness. I hope things pick up for you and your family. Your kids continue to be adorable.
~ma to Deena.
Comfort to smonster's friends.
Good luck wishes to Brendon.
And Hil, it's perfectly okay to have purple accents in a bathroom. Our downstairs bathroom is done in purple. It helps to mix up the shades -- for example, the towels are a lot darker than the shower curtain.
Sanity and maturity ~ma to your son, Laura, and coping ~ma to you.
Deena, good to see you! Sorry you're having such a crappy run of luck. I can't believe Kara's in 4th grade! And all gothy, so cute! I love babybats.
smonster, sorry for your friends' loss.
It's not unreasonable for me to not want to do something for one property manager that I don't do for the other two property managers and was in fact a duty that not only got taken away from me over a year ago, but also was the PTB's justification in lowering my salary by $4500/year, right?
And it's not unreasonable to be pissed that this person is still bugging me about doing it when I have asked BOTH directors numerous times to tell this property manager that I am not doing this particular task anymore and they have not, right?
Fuck that shit, Aims.
I know, right?
I have no problem doing it at all, and when I was first doing it it was to help him catch up. But he's caught up now. And unless my pay is going to reflect the taking on of new-old duties, I'm not doing it.
smonster: so sad for your friends. Lots of peace to them.
Yeah, so terrible. In more ridiculous news, here's another way my life has changed since I am a Buffista. I've been getting Thirtysomething on Netflix, a program that I saw maybe four of back in the day but I rented it because there was this whole big article on Jezebel about it. Anyway, I'm somewhere in the middle of the first season and sitting there thinking that Ellyn and Melissa should be, well, Ellyn/Melissa. Which is a thought I would never have, pre- Bitches. I thought I'd share. Also, there is something faintly Mary Sueish about the way Hope and Michael's friends are always talking amongst themselves about how awesome Hope and Michael are. I find it disquieting. Even though I know y'all do it to me when I'm not here, but you're only human, right?
Timelies!
It's not all doom and gloom, honestly. I was feeling a bit broken last night--too tired and achy, but good things are happening too. I got a nook for my birthday! I can load it with library books (and have), so it's true love.
Kara says to say hello to you too, Jilli.
She's a happy girl. I got to meet one of the creators of Phineas and Ferb online (he's planning to submit one of our first graphic novels), and then her daddy tweeted about her loving RL Stine's Goosebumps Horror Land series, and he tweeted back to tell her hello, so now she thinks her parents are absolutely the coolest on the planet.
I'll try to get pictures of her and Aidan in their first day of school outfits. You guys won't believe how much they've grown.
