Hah! I thought the pic would be enough of a tipoff. She's been expensive (have to go in for another booster shot on her vacs and she has a cracked tooth that will maybe need to be fixed.) But I was kind of aggravated at the no car thing anyway, and now if I want to see family I can't just jump on the train anymore. Her dog classes are only a mile away but not the most comfortable area to walk home from after class. Plus between her and Grace the logistics of chow and litter with no car and no nearby grocery have been their own PITA.
But she's fine! They're both fine. Life will just be a little more managable now.
brenda, I sometimes tell people I bought a cat a house. Because 3 in the apartment was really a breaking point.
New pictures of my dad's retirement bash, starting off with (Liese!) a pic of my parents' new screen porch, complete with door: [link]
I am nuts. I've been meaning to clear the stupid linden tree leavings from my porch roof for weeks. Just wasn't happening. So I did it just now, when both of my neighbors are out of town and wouldn't hear the thump and call 911.
I survived climbing out onto my porch roof at 11 pm. There's that.
sara, it's dark! Let the linden wait until AM.
Too late! It's done.
I swear, I AM a night owl. Between wakeup and maybe 2, have to push myself to get anything done. Schedules, plans, etc make it happen. I hit 9 pm? I get shit DONE.
Paging Suzi: can I kill the person on Facebook who just lectured K-bug about making phone calls instead of using Facebook? 'cause that girl has PISSED me right off. Just give me the word and I will punch her in the FACE.
Hours later. We spent the day in Boulder with very little connection to the outside world. Kinda what Kelly needed. When we got home and she read that message, she wrote her a private response. Ya know how I talk about my "nephew", she is his mom. And she acts like she is E's mom too.
But for me, help yourself. She deserves a punch in the face for her attitude.
A day after my massage, I feel like my masseuse was torturing me for information about my secret espionage activities.
We are at my grandmother's to celebrate her birthday. Extended family here. Mac played all day with my cousin's son and then had a mini meltdown this evening. None of them really know what it's like when mac meltdown so it disturbs them, but really this was small and he pulled himself together. I am very proud.
But for me, help yourself. She deserves a punch in the face for her attitude.
Suzi, yeah, I clicked on her profile and made the connection that she was probably your cohort, not K-bug's and it made a bit more sense. Talking about splits in any public venue is difficult enough. The one thing going for it though is that you can get it over and done with and not be forced into 200 different conversations about it with each person as he or she finds out.
Either way sucks, really.
What bugged me about her message was how she made K-Bug's sad situation into a LECTURE about how to use Facebook. It's like HELLO, she's wrecked and vulnerable and this is how you react?
