And as someone who has recently launched a Kickstarter - I don't sugest levels outside of the actual project. And even in the project I just offer varying rewards for varying donations. Nowhere is there an actual "suggested" donation. So what she is doing would be bad manners on Kickstarter.

Speaking of health, I finished reading Stiff, and the last page gives ideas on checking out body donation plans in the reader's area. So I did a quick Google, and the University of Utah has such a program. I floated the idea for myself past Hubby, and he nodded, so it looks like he's good with the concept. I "casually" mentioned that the U of U said spouses can donate the other spouse without paperwork, but I told him I wouldn't do that to him, phrasing it as a joke, because I couldn't really come up with a way of saying, "Odds are you're going first, do you mind if I give you to the University?" that wasn't pretty cold. But he said, "I'd be OK with that." Which surprised me. He's still adamant that he doesn't want to make a will, and I figured any kind of practical planning would make him antsy.

Sometimes I really loathe the feast or famine nature of my job. Someone tell me I'm going to figure out a way to meet all of my deadlines.

You know deep down, because experience has taught you, that you will once again accomplish the impossible. I hope that you will at least get a bit of R&R and a some appreciative recognition when you beat the current projects into submission. May you catch a break and have a couple things go easier than anticipated and be in the final stretch sooner than you expect.

Drew, I've been watching a close friend's husband deal with the same thing. He runs a landscaping business and has had two days off since March. I know because he volunteered to help me with my yard but I feel bad taking advantage of his generosity when I can see how exhausted he is. Then, come November, he has nothing to do. Until it snows.

Oh dear god. So my father's gf called. Asking if I would call my brother and sister and beg them to call my father. Seems I am the only one who talks to him. And this past week of treatment has stepped up the side effects from the radiation, and he could use some cheering up. WTF?! They live in the same time zone! One of them lives in the same TOWN. Ugg I really do not understand my family. Anyhow, some coninued health~ma for my father would be appreciated. He is starting week 6 of 8 for the radiation treatment.
