Lots of ~ma of an indeterminate nature, Gud!

Yay, picnic, Hec! I ate lunch outside, myself, and it was very present, though couple of bugs seem to have hitched a ride inside on my blazer...

My housing expenses are way too high and my house is too big for me but I couldn't sell without taking a big loss so I don't see a way to resolve that responsibly. I think I'm just stuck and will put my energy into making my backyard an oasis of calm pleasantness to "justify" as much as I can.

Burrell, what would happen if she was sent to school with no water bottle for a week?

I ated too much food. It was free food though, so there's that.

I just got an email regarding a dependent care claim and that I was getting reimbursed for it (from the company that handles the health/dependent care reimbursements).

In case you all don't know: I don't have dependents.

Oh, and my name isn't Claudio.

We got sent someone else's house appraisal on Monday. That was fun.

and my name isn't Claudio

Then who have I been emailing with all this time....

If you're not Claudio, then who are you?

Much ~ma of indeterminate nature beamed your way, Gud.

Happy picnic, David. And tell JenK we miss her! Is she still nursing in obs, or is she working in another specialty now?

I find this whole conversation confusing. Somehow people I find very dear are upset, and I have to admit I didn't hear anyone on the board say anything about how friendships are structurally oppressed in the same way gay couples are. All I heard is that some think friendships tend to be discounted as less important.

Yeah, kinda, but I'm over it. No lingering sting.

And then, after Plei reminded me of how much I hated Ernie as a kid because he was so mean to Bert,

My kids were definitely Ernieish and Bertesque, and it's a wonder we all let the younger one grow up, ITYW.

I'm kinda just in the zone where really the pair shouldn't be considered role models for anybody.

Wonderful negative role models, though.

Jesse, this is a link straight to reblog, because Good Stuff needs this, stat: [link]

It's a miracle I haven't set anything or anyone on fire today.

That is old news! And possibly already on there! But I will add to queue. "Stat," hmph.

You know what's not helpful when you want a librarian to find an phone number for someone on a rush basis?

Telling the librarian that the guy lives on a specific street in a specific town in the midwest, and then telling the librarian that he might have moved to Canada and then agreeing that the linkedin page the librarian sends you (showing that the guy lives in Washington state) is the right one because you already used that to contact the guy. That's what.
