Lorne: Snakes? Uh-huh. And they came out of your what? Okay. Okay, well, did they get up there themselves or is this part of a, you know, a thing? No, I'm not judging...Do we fight snakes? Angel: Only if they're giant. Or demons. Or giant demons. Are they giant demon snakes? Lorne: Well, unless this guy's 30 feet tall, I'm thinking they're of the garden variety.

YAY RAIN.

The down side of the rain is that I am not inclined to run in it. OTOH, (spoiler-font for those squeamish about female biology) perimenopause has me bleeding like a stuck pig for the last three days, and lightly for the thirty days before that, so I'm not really feeling like I'm at 100%. Or even 65%, really.

Yeah, I think I'm just missing the one tax payment that no mortgage handled.

Also, I have a tax data hangover now. Seriously, I get this involved in a task to the exclusion of all else and it's like I'm emerging from a swamp.

I think people like having something concrete they can do to help.

This!

Man, today was just so discouraging. But I guess I should be thankful that I have a job that helps me pay for my accountant to do my taxes but that is just the kind of thing I would completely lose my shit about if I had to figure it out myself.

Ooof. Tax data hangovers blow. I'm sorry.

So there is crap I cannot stand going down at my pool. It's making it extremely hard to go and I'm tired. Tired. Tired.

Unfortunately I've learned that friends have been more helpful than one of my own kids. Heartbreaking. But anyway, when I have had a specific need, I've been able to get help. And I'm enormously thankful.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Oh Jesse, how scary! I'm so glad you got him home safe and sound. Hope there's a simple plan for getting him to the program going forward.

And Consuela, sorry the one thing didn't work out, but fingers are crossed that something good comes through soon.

Sorry about the pool Kat. Your post makes me realize the phrase "crap... going down at my pool" takes me to one place and stays there. I had to reread several times.

HA. No. Nothing like that.

Our sister Y has a Masters Program that they are forcing on us at our Y one day a week. So, our lanes will go from 6 down to 2 and the 12+ who swim in those lost lanes will have to squeeze into the 2. Not happy.

I managed to get out and see fangirls tonight! And I think I've sorted my hotel bill.

I'm going to shower and pack and go to bed because I have to deal with the TSA tomorrow.
