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.
At work, they will no longer support printers in classrooms. So if you want toner, you have to buy it yourself.
Last year all of my Donors Choose money went to printer toner for Dylan's school. This year printer paper (2 reams) was on the kindergarten supplies list. It's a fucking travesty the way schools are being squeezed.

I am having a cup of that right now!

Seriously.

So ridiculous!
Well, I am not going to sing hosannas until I crawl into bed, but I spent five hours with my folks today and there were no meltdowns. We got a couple of cranky comments, which Dad & I ignored, and some anxiety about her access to her medications, but that was about it. She complains about the food and yet ate her whole BLT and most of her sweet-potato fries.
If I can get to 9 PM without a phone call from Dad saying "Your mother would like to speak with you," I will be a very happy daughter.
Fingers crossed, people. Tomorrow may suck, but today is a sign that improvement is possible.

So good!

That's awesome. One day at a time.
That does sound like a (relatively) good day. More and better to come, I hope!
Hooray for good afternoons!
That's great, Consuela!
How much do you normally see your parents, Consuela, if there is a normal? Are you expecting to spend more time with them as part of your mother's acclimation, or is this close to usual?
I have decided the only way the apple thing is going to stick is if I take notes. So I'm using a totally OTT app with my Evernote back end, and I'm taking a picture of each apple and recording my opinions of the taste. Otherwise I totally forget which is which, and I certainly can't tell them apart by looking.
So I went to Whole Foods and got one of each of the red ones. I'd never even heard of Arkansas Black before. Yoinks.
You know when you get into a weird argument? What is pilot season? I mean, what takes place during it, and when in the year is it?
Many people cite the Arkansas Black as the best eating apple, and I agree with them when I get a good one. Sometimes, probably because of storage, they can be mealy.
I've never heard of Arkansas Black. It sounds like a kind of pot. t edit Marijuana, to be clear. Not a cooking pot.
