meara, this is what the agency said, "Name is Phillip. He's young but very sharp."

I know the agency has occasional trouble placing male nurses, particularly with children. But some of the nurses who were most caring at TK were men. I don't know how we'll feel, until tomorrow. I do hope it works. If not, the agency will have to send someone else.

Another option which is super tempting and completely possible, but bad if/when Grace gets sick during the school year, is to have Grace take Noah's place at his current day care. This would double our costs, but C would lovingly and gladly take her and, to quote C, "The trach doen't bother me at all."

C actually said, "why don't you have the bus drop her off here each day and the nurse come here to get her." Which is a lovely offer, but I do not want the nurse driving my kid around down the main street because the main street between C's place and mine is filled with idiots without insurance (and possibly without licenses) who act like fools.

C is a complete gem. I'm glad she came into your life. But I hope Phillip proves to be one too.

My moving company was a guy from work who does this sort of thing on the side. I got lucky.

You guys, I just had a thing. I've been going back and forth on this NM tile thing for an address marker for my house. And then with the Carol thing, And she likes designs and quilting, and I am so getting her input when I'm there for a scant 9 hours. So she will be part of this house too.

Oh, that's really good.

Aaand (godbless time zones) it turns out my tile lady just lost her brother, and is totally cool with my delay on moving forward on this account. "Too important to love them."

Um, that read wrong. I am sorry she lost her brother, I'm glad I am dealing with someone sympathetic to the situation.

Fuck yeah! Giants score three in the top of the 9th to beat the Dodgers and the A's score in the bottom of the 10th to beat the Red Sox.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I hope things go well with the visit, Sarameg, and that you all get as much as you possibly can out of the nine hours.

BLink is fricking creepy ass. Awesome, but creepy.

Perkins, "Blink" freaked a number of people out. But so did "The Empty Child". So I don't know if it's the one you're thinking of.
