Hey guys, said I would be back, but wasn't. Sorry. I got very tired. We went to the thrift store on Wednesday (completely wrecked me, but worth it) to get stuff for the kids' costumes. Kara is going as a princess of shadows, in a lovely little cocktail dress in black velvet, spiders, and a tiara, with extreeemely pointy (Jilli would approve!) "high" heeled shoes covered in square crystals, and Aidan is going as young Zelda, princess of Hyrule. Greg says if he asks for some basic black pumps for Christmas, we'll get him singing lessons.
I have to go nap, now. When the kids get home it will be halloween central around here. I have to get them all excited about their costumes early since I forgot to buy them a pumpkin to carve.
eta: oh, Erin, so sorry. I wish I knew Tumblr. Fred Pete, glad Hubs is home.
Thanks for the thoughts. Hubs has a couple of doctor appointments today, and we go from there. Disability retirement is an option, and I suspect the most likely one.
Deena, right now, it's more important that you take care of yourself.
I, too, have called in sick today. Slept a couple extra hours, now up with tea. Somehow this is way less exciting when (a) I wouldn't have had to go to an office anyway and (b) I still have to get all the same work done, now just in less time.
Continued healing ~ma for Hubs.
No apologies necessary, Deena. Like Fred Pete said, it's most important that you take care of you right now.
erin, sorry about all the stress with your sister. I checked out those tumblrs. Like you said, your sister's seems to be locked down, and the other one seems to have been deleted.
A general wish for health and recovery ~ma for everyone.
Deena, the costumes sound wonderful.
My tumblr experience ends with following other people's, I'm afraid.
You guys restore my faith in humanity. Sleeping now. Kids home at 3:45.
Hey! We're back up!
So this weekend I was hoping to see the purple grand Am we bought last year that I found out I was too big to drive properly. (It has a stick shift and the clutch is too awkward for me to push)
However, apparently while sitting there the last three months, it developed a short in the starting system.The battery got drained, and trying to jump start it causes sparks.
We think it might be the starter itself, as everything else on a car would be fused.
Effing great. I need to sell it to pay the $609 to my employer to keep my insurances in order.
Happy effing birthday, says the the fates.
Deena! I miss you!
Daniel, I'm sorry for the extreme insurance mess. And I'm sorry your birthday isn't the best this year. You deserve a better birthday.
What sj said. That bites.
