Strix, that's a good idea. Still pondering. I was thinking about sort of conducting the bats into cloud shapes representing dreams.

Shir, I'm so glad you went. Will you have another chance to go see her?

It was pouring when I got up this morning, so I figured work would be cancelled. I started planning a day of crafting with Buffy and such on in the back ground. But now it's clearing up, phooey. Don't wanna.

For those who took clomid, is there any reason why I can't have a drink at dinner tonight? I absolutely know I'm not pregnant, so that isn't a concern.

Shir, I'm glad you went to see her. ~ma all around.

Smonster good luck with your costume. I can't wait to see pictures.

Glamcookie, I'm so sorry about the job. It is definitely their loss.

Shir, how about books on tape?

Speaking of, I am 2/3rds done listening to Malala's book. Wow. That is some heavy stuff. Life under the Taliban, through a girls eyes, whose father runs a school. All she wants is peace, and to go to school. I'm debating giving a copy to my 13 y.o. Niece for xmas. Anyhow, I highly recommend it.

Does she have enough vision that she could follow a line and use one of these? [link]

I imagine someone makes them in Hebrew.

I am tired of pain and anxiety stealing all my spoons. /whine

I'm spoonless myself.

{{{smonster&Ginger}}} I could barely find the spoons today for a fun night out. And I have laundry piled up to the ceiling at the moment.

Sending Ginger an electronic spoon. Wish that worked in real life.

Typo, I gave Access a pass years ago, for the reason you described, and never went back.

I'll have to do some research on database products. I just really don't have any knowledge. Plus, the time necessary to learn something new right now...not appealing.

BUT, I need something so, I guess I'll have to do whatever it takes.

Shir, I'm with smonster. I'm glad you went and hope you can see her again. I call my surrogate mom nearly every day since her open heart surgery and it has meant a lot to both of us.

I also endorse omnis' recommendation of audiobooks. There are organizations here that offer audiobook players for seniors that are slow the recording down, so they are easier for older folks to hear.

Energy ~ma for all who need it, but especially ginger and smonster.

I screwed up so badly this morning that I pretty much wasted all my spoons. I had two doggy appointments on my calendar...one a mile away up-hill, the other, three blocks from my house. I ran to the distant one when I was meant to be at the other. By the time I figured it out, I'd wasted an hour of the client's time and ended up giving them an extra hour gratis.

I really worry about my memory. Jeez.

I'm glad I have two days off, I'm ready for it. It's been kind of a roller coaster at work.

So far I've discovered that the New Girl has managed to piss off/insult several people and reject their help. Well, when she wants help she wants you to drop everything and help her and then go away. She'll even say "go away" or "shoo" and flap her hands.

And then I had the interview for the full time positions, one for cashier and one for the phone position.

I got the phone position. I was the only candidate, but from what I could suss out only me and this guy J applied for the cashier position. I assumed that if he applied for it then that's what they'd do. I get a raise effective tomorrow. My schedule is set for the next 2 weeks so I'll officially have my new hours then. But I finally get coded and get access to stuff I need to do the phone job better.

But benefits including 5% matching on 401K and stock option stuff. I'll get a packet and some info.

And I'm able to watch FSU Stomp all over Clemson. Good day today
