Onerous Task round-up: called into two different meetings, reassured a writer that I will step in and be BadCop Editor if he needs, sent email about a convention, sent my agent the proposal and sample chapters for the YA project I've been working on.

I've got my surgery scheduled for Monday afternoon. I'm now just waiting to hear back from my dad if he'll be available to take me over to Evanston.

Turns out that one of the old den leaders embezzled $3K of our popcorn money and our pack is broke.
Holy crap! SHEESH! PEOPLE!

Onerous task is onerous! I found the insurance cards no problem. I found the old registration renewal notice, so I have all the relevant numbers. But trying to do it online, they don't recognize my registration. It's probably actually my drivers license they don't recognize, but whatevs, they don't recognize my company EIN either. So I called them, and you know how I feel about calling people. Many times because "circuits were busy" and finally got through to someone, who transferred me to someone, who rolled to voicemail. Fail. I'm trying again now, but the onerouser this gets, the crankier I am at the intern. His legacy just will not quit. We gave him the form, told him to sticker the van and put the registration in the glovebox. He stickered the van, so as not to get pulled over himself, but the registration is nowhere to be found.

Lisah, have you heard anything about the Fells Pt. effort to connect with Ireland on the war of 1812 POWs? There's a whole movement afoot, memorial planned, stuff. I forget what city - I'd say Kinsale, but that's what I thought it would have been and it wasn't.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OMG, Cashmere, that's so bad! WTF is wrong with people.
