Latest job drama: possible Houston job has quickly emerged! Moving at lightning speed compared to ABQ job. He's going down for an interview next week, and they suggested he add a couple of days onto his trip for house-hunting.

The issue I see with it being anything that he chooses is that then he will be on the end of sall her rage and my guess is he has had more than enough of that, thus the giving in.

Wow, Dana! That would be convenient for me, because I still think you live in Houston half the time anyway.

Yay Dana.

BTW, y'all ain't never lied: Colbert with Dolly Parton was just the awesome. He was really nervous, you could TOTALLY tell.

I made myself some breaded lemon pepper parmasian mahi-mahi for lunch. It was THE BOMB. I should have made two fillets. Oh well.

Exciting, Dana!

le nubian, I'm just so glad they showed us so many of the false starts and mistakes with the song. So cute!

WHen my grandmother was inher late 80s I told her she needed to stop driving or every time I would visit something would go missing from her engine. Thankfully she stopped, because I honestly do not know enough about what to take off an engine to make it stop working. My plan was just to grab hoses and anything that removed easily.

I'm picturing you as a nun in The Sound of Music, msbelle. This is truly something one would never expect to do.

I'm going to need more coffee if I'm going to explain how conditional redirects work even after I already provided a handy flowchart.

I need food, period, to explain AGAIN that it's not a plan if no one knows what kicks it off, what the first step is, and when or how you move to a second step.

That's not a plan, my colleague. That's barely even a related set of sentences. But I've been trying to tell him that all day.

it's going to take more than a week or two to get them settled here.

The problem is that she's still quite aware of her surroundings much of the time, while simultaneously being delusional about what they mean. She's always been expert at taking the worst possible interpretation of anything, and this is more of the same. Beautiful clean friendly senior residence==>smelly prison where she is confined and abandoned. To her, that's the reality, regardless of what she actually sees about her.

I spoke with them on the phone a little while ago, and told Dad he needs to "lose" the keys. She told me that "the marriage is over" if he doesn't move her back to the old apartment.

Which would be funny (she's incapable of doing anything for herself, can't even put on her bra), if it weren't so hard on my dad.
