That's sweet, omnis!

In random news, I live about a block from some huuuuuge radio towers. It's always caused a crap-ton of interference in my phone lines, and my alarm clock picks it up, etc (...could be worse, what I hear is the NPR station). But today I picked up my phone to make some work calls, and....no interference. Can't hear Morning Edition at all. NO idea what changed, but this is AWESOME!!

Meara, if you have a landline (or rather non-cell line), the cables connecting the phone to the wall (or VOIP modem) can make all the difference in the world. If you have FLAT cable (which is very common for connecting phones), they will be a big radio antennae! Especially if you have the phone a long way from the jack. I suggest getting ROUND cable, as the wires inside are typically twisted, which gives a shielding to the wires, and greatly reducing the interference into your phone.

Can't help with the alarm clock interference.

But that's just it, omnis--it went away! Out of nowhere! It's perfectly fine now! Which is bizarre. But awesome.

Less awesome--I completely forgot that we had to reschedule the house cleaners to today (we have someone come once a month), and while that's not a problem in that I'm home, it IS a problem in that I have zero cash on me, and usually try to tip $20. (The actual price is charged to my credit card monthly) Is writing a check weird? It's two people--do I write two $10 checks??

Our wings are not tired

Enjoy the new iPad omnis!

I have one more day in FL and I'm really looking forward to getting home. I have a flight first thing on Wednesday morning. This has been a two week trip and it's been very good getting the new show up and running, but I'm just really tired of living in a hotel room.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I think I'd write two $10 checks in that case, meara. I've done a frantic run to the ATM more than once when I didn't have cash on me on Cleaning Day. I'm glad there's one nearby!

omnis, congrats on winning the iPad!

I'm so sorry, Cass.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Two checks seems best in the circumstances.

I have cleaned up all of Kittenish's things. The two stuffed kitties that she stole from me are on a shelf. And the vet called to ask what I wanted for her. Cremation with her ashes returned to me.

And I guess we'll learn if being a solitary cat is good for Puppycat.

My dad is at oncology appointments all day. I don't know how he is either.

So today sucks. I am just so sad.

Sounds like a perfect time to flop on the floor and have a good cry for about five to ten minutes before you have to go be a grown-up again.
