I'm glad to hear Tim is doing better. That sounded like all kinds of scary.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Glad Tim's mouth is better!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, that sounds really scary. Glad things look better this morning.

Well, slow magic.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Respect the chemistry, gums of Tim.

Good to hear all is well, gum-wise.

Sending no more bleeding~ma to Tim. And a belated Happy Birthday.
Last night I walked down to PF Chang's hoping to sit at the bar and have dinner. But the place was beyond packed and there was NO BAR. There was no way I was going to wait for a table for one, so I went back to the steak house at the hotel. I figured if I just ordered an appitizer and soup, it couldn't be too much. I added one drink and my bill was $50!!! For just me, so french onion soup, crab stuffed portobella and a whiskey. That will be fun to explain on my expense sheet.
But still, NO BAR?!?!? There are plenty of other restuarants with bars in Salt Lake...

That is so wrong.
Taking a sick day just because. I'm thinking about rearranging my bedroom.

P.F. Chang's probably didn't bother to get a liquor license. They are horrifically hard to get in Utah, and if you try to set up a bar in a restaurant you have to put up weird walls to block the view of anything alcoholic from the gaze of children. It's called the Zion Curtain, and many restaurants aren't willing to modify their designs, especially retroactively, so they don't bother with booze.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
Gah, way to wake me up, Dad. I spent last evening with him, had a nice time, and went to bed around 11:30. Slept heavily because of the (really good) hamburger I ate at our late dinner. Woke up to the phone ringing at 8AM. Dad announces, "I think I'm going to die today."
WTF, Dad!
Basically, he's depressed. It's been a shitty year, his wife died, he doesn't really have a job to do anymore, and he's having cognitive issues. Woke up during the night unable to remember the names of Gene Kelley and Donald O'Connor. So he calls me to scare the crap out of me.
After I ascertained that there's nothing physically wrong, just his emotional state, I told him to get some exercise, engage with his neighbors, and do some paperwork he needed to do. And then I emailed my brothers and told them to call him.
He won't, of course, talk to a grief counsellor. And I'm not sure how much that would help, anyway: he doesn't have a lot of emotional intelligence, nor is he comfortable talking about feelings AT ALL. Argh, argh, argh.
