Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Huh. I had to look it up.
I always thought it referred to occupational therapy in mental wards--making baskets.
Don't think I'll be using it again, either. Although, when H bought his '42 Knucklehead Harley as a basket case, we literally brought home parts in boxes. Until he sold it, years later, still in boxes. And bought a boat. Which we used and enjoyed for years. Um.
No, still not using the term.
Support is often the hardest job, because you feel like you're not *doing* anything. You're not *fixing* anything. The truth is, you are affecting how others deal, you are *doing something*. A further truth is that it costs you something to be supportive when what you want to do is go fetal and have someone take care of you.
This place and you people were my salvation. I just hope each of us finds that sort of support here when it's needed.
Beverly is, as always, so very wise.

Concur.
Marketed, shopped and just spent the past 2.5 hours doing yardwork. At least is is gorgeous out and now I'm all prepared for spending the rest of the fall raking leaves....
Think I'll go swim. And then start cleaning house. Uhg.
MUST call my dad today! It's his 70th. (We'll be actually celebrating it when he is out here in a couple weeks.)
I'm not doing shit! This is the curse of the three-day weekend: I feel like I have So Much Time! I should at least vacuum, maybe do some laundry.
I took Sudafed and I think I got stood up for lunch. I breathe better now but still feel like hell, so I don't much care that I am likely being stood up.
Uggg. I'm not moving from the couch unless absolutely necessary. Damned cramps.
Though I did go out earlier to pickup a Halloween costume for the youngest dojo baby. Old Navy has adorable costumes on sale and her mama asked if we could pick it up for her. I can't wait to see her dressed up as a strawberry.
I need a cabana boy to bring me chocolate.

::whimper:: Very true.
I had to go to the pharmacy way on the other side of the Retirement Castle*, so I perambulated around the perimeter fence and got some much-needed exercise and fresh air. It's at least 2 miles worth of walking, so I feel all virtuous.
I need a quick opinion -- was last night's Supernatural good enough to try to see online, or can it wait until sometime next week when I'm home to the DVR?
