"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Zenkitty,

if you put an appt in Google Cal and set up your mobile phone, you can have it text you when an appt comes up. I used to do that when I had a Razr.

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

and set up your mobile phone

Yeah... I have no idea how to do this. I'll take another look at it.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Another possibility:

followupthen.com is a place I use for reminders, esp when I'm overwhelmed. You can set up a mobile phone there too. If you email 8amjun15@followupthen.com with whatever in the body of the email, you will get this in email as a reminder.

I don't use the text message function, but it might work for you. there are premium features for a reasonable yearly fee which I'm happy to pay.

I think Pumpkin is irked with me for putting on her spare collar after she took the other one off somewhere I haven't found yet. She's been pointedly staring at me from afar ever since.

le n, with followupthen, you put the date/time you want the reminder in the email address, and in the body you put what you want to be reminded of?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I am agog at the lack of communication the people right in front of me won't admit to.

Still have a headache!

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Oh mac. But yay for having a McPhee.

I'm having A Week. I'd love to tell you all about it, but I'm sitting here crying and thinking "I cannot do one more day at work." It's not good.

The twins' last day of kindergarten was today. Grace was absent for 20 days this year which feels like a parenting fail because that is 10% of the school year. It's especially bad because we are told that it's affecting her progress and we may have to deal with truancy court next year. Fuck you lady. In September Grace couldn't speak and now she has 6+ word utterances. In September she couldn't use scissors and now she happily cuts everything out. In September she couldn't write a single letter of the alphabet and now she writes books about playing sports. I'm sure her progress is as fine as it can be given that she has surgery every 10 weeks and had pneumonia for which she was hospitalized.

Also, to keep it in perspective. Three years ago, when Grace came home, she couldn't walk yet.

Noah was absent for 2 days.

For both ita and Kat: What is wrong with people?!
