I'm surprised (not really) there's no direct deposit option. Wouldn't it save the state a lot of money to go paperless on this?
When Tom was getting unemployment, MA did direct deposit. Sucks that CA doesn't!
Thanks for your kind thoughts. It was a hard day yesterday and this morning. There were some moments of clarity, and she knows that I love her. I told her it was OK for her to let go, but she isn't ready yet, it seems.
I've come back to MA to go to a wedding this afternoon/evening.
Yesterday (well, today really) I learned that I should not try to drink with the 20-somethings. But it was so fun!
Srsly! I boggle at the idea it would even occur to someone to say that to you.
PETE SAYS IT! And then ::facepalms:: when he realizes.
Maaaan, I miss my California peeps. I want to visit people, and gently nag Drew to take it easy!
Nora, I'm sorry, it's so terribly hard. That's what my mother went through in her last days. We were wrecked by the end. I'm so sorry.
P.-C., sorry you got your wallet lifted. It builds Jilliness, though, right?
I wouldn't mind visiting Cali, myself. Last visit was too hurried/scattered with the conference getting in the way.
In Saturday news, spicy red beans w/ andouille, ham, and chicken is bubbling away in a pot for Lewis' birthday meal.
I'm so glad I married a man who loves my cooking.

I'm using my stove right now, AIFG!
I'm cooking the 35 pound squash, all in one piece. I just cut a hole in it, removed the innards, and put the piece back in.
Man this Hubbard squash is big.
To give you an idea, I had to take out the middle oven rack, and put the bottom one on the lowest bar. Even one bar up, it wouldn't fit. I also had to put aluminum foil on the whole rack, as I didn't want to sully my huge sheet cake pan.
Oh, and I had to put it in the oven kitty-corner, as it wouldn't fit in side to side.
No, we don't have an apartment sized oven.
I'm also cooking a bottom round Angus beef roast, with red potatoes and garlic, in the crock pot.
Incidentally? on vacation through Oct 3rd. Andi joins me in vacation Monday.
omnis, I'm very glad to hear about your date went well. 4 hours of great conversation is nothing to look down at. One of the reasons I despise dating is that for me, it usually ends in an hour and a half of forced conversation (from my side. I'm good with hiding how uncomfortable the situation makes me feel).
Nope, not looking down at all. It was swell. The last 45 minutes or so was in the car, parked next to hers, she'd put her hand on the handle to leave, then get into another conversation. Then say, "I should go" put her hand on the handle again, and it started all over again. Plenty of chances for her to leave, and yet, stayed chatting. It was cute.

Jilli visit! Woot! I second the motion. Or was Jilli the first, and Pix the second? Then I third the motion, right? So that means it passes! Woot! Jilli visit!
