So, I got nothing yesterday because I looked at my list, freaked out, and stopped dealing for the day. Today I am up, with my new, more manageable list, and I am trying to get the first thing done on my list (Britrail pass, yay!) and the website will not let me check out. I'm trying not to take this as a sign for the rest of the day.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I hope you can get your battery replaced under the warranty smonster. Tricksy batteries. They KNOW.
I'm at that place where I have six days' worth of work and personal stuff to do in two days before I leave for my trip. It always happens this way. Or maybe better people are better.

It's not a sign. It's just screwy technology. Don't let it get in your head.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
amyth, may it all get done faster and smoother than you though possible. I can't believe y'all's trip is here!! Seems like forever it's been in the making.

I know! I wish you were coming with! We'll just have to go back again. What's the use of having friends with a house in France if you can't abuse it?
(If only the plane tickets weren't so expensive.)
Off to get a flu shot.

I have ordered my rail pass! I finally had to call because my computer refused to recognize the website as a secure site. So, I had to talk to people, but one thing off the list!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
My fire alarm is cheeping. I changed the battery, put in a brand-new one, and hooked it back up to the house AC, and it's still cheeping! What else do I need to do to make it stop?

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
Zen - do you have high humidity in the house right now? I had that problem after getting my carpets cleaned - all the fire alarms started chirping. I had to take the batteries out until the humidity leveled out.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Or maybe better people are better.
I know I'm not.
Me neither. But you'll get it all done, amyth! Or at least as much as you really need to. I hope you have a fantastic time! Eat lots of delicious bread and cheese for me. Mmmmmmm.
sj, yay for getting stuff done!
Andi and Daniel, you all have been in my thoughts these past few days, and I'm vibing hard for a speedy recovery.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Oh, I wanted to mention, because I am very proud of my son, I took Ryan to the playground on Sunday, where there were a couple of other little kids running around. We'd brought his soccer ball (he has a soccer ball) for kicks and throws. The other kids came up and wanted to play too, and rather than getting defensive or possessive, Ryan was very happy to play catch (or, more accurately, 'throw') with them. The staff at childcare tell me that he's very sociable with the other kids there too.
My fondest wish for Ryan (which is enshrined in his Chinese name) is that he grow up to be kind. He can be very shy around new people, although he's a bit of a showoff once he gets used to them. It makes me very happy to see him sharing so easily with other kids.
(One of the parental couples was in a very similar position to WB and myself. A couple around 40, the mother was from Japan rather than China, one boy, no plans for more. Also moved to the area only recently. So that's nice.)
