Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Thanks. I've got Grace Under Fire on, and I'm eating some leftover pad thai. Not sure about sleep, but I feel like my heart rate is calming down a little.

Good. Keep at it. You're doing a great job.

Thanks.

I planned tomorrow's calculus classes to start with a worksheet reviewing the stuff we did right before spring break, because I know they'll have forgotten it, and they've got a test next week. Next Friday is going to be a huge pain. I'm covering a 9:00 class for a coworker, and then there's a midterm at night, which means I'll be there grading until about 10 or 11.

Our wings are not tired.

I do hope that restful sleep happened and that today is a much better day.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Hil, I hope you're feeling better today.

I took care of some onerous tasks this morning, mostly updating the expiration date for my credit card on various auto-payments. I'm waiting to hear back from my uncle about when the services are for my grandfather. The death notice wasn't in the paper today. I appreciate the support, but there is absolutely no way I can skip the services, nor would I really want to. I'll figure it all out.

Much see-it-through~ma for you, sj; it's a tough position to be in.

I've expanded my yard and I've got lots of kittehs. I bought the cowboy hat and got Billy the Kitten. So cute--he wears it, but all the other kitties sit in it.

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

sj, I'm sorry about your grandfather, and I hope you can work out getting there with a minimum of trouble.

Hil, I hope you feel better today. Panic attacks are no joke.

I've slipped back into spending too much on stuff I don't need. Gotta get hold of that. That's what happens when I get depressed and anxious.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Thanks, everyone. It would help if someone would get back to me about what day the services are going to be so that TCG can put in for time off before the end of his work day.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

sj, I'm so sorry. My condolences to you and your family.

I will say, though, that they might not yet know when the services are. When I had to plan Rob's funeral, the date changed three times because people who needed to be there couldn't. They're not trying to inconvenience you, even though it means things are in limbo for just a bit longer.
