Angel: I appreciate you guys looking out for Connor all summer. It's just—he's confused. He needs time. That's all. Fred: Right. Time, and some corporal punishment with a large heavy mallet. Not that I'm bitter.

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

Today: clean my sister's apartment some, run errands like paying off storage unit, dropping clothes at Council Thrift. Need to get some work done for the conference too. Tomorrow: cleaning, grading. Sunday: cleaning, shopping, grading. I'm living it up, I tell you, LIVING IT UP!

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Met with the school counseler and we have his senior year mapped out and "locked" in place. He seems comfortable with the choices and continued to take responsibility for his grades and wanting to fix things.

He is also kind of heart broken. He has been the rock climbing teacher's right hand man for the last year and she just adores him. It has been fantastic to have a teacher be such a fan of my kid. She just got diagnosed with breast cancer. They are still checking stuff to figure out how extensive things are. He took her flower this morning.

if the stars align, I am hoping we can go buy a washing machine this weekend. There! Something, well, not fun, but at least something that will last.

Oh Suzi, that's so hard. I hope she gets a good diagnosis.

Our wings are not tired.

We are having a beach surf & turf cookout tonight. The last night we have the beach condo. We have managed to sleep there 2 nights! I've been in the ocean once, but the waves have been pretty wild. Supposed to be calmer tomorrow.

DH was teaching a Muslim family to body surf; that was fun. After a time one of the women gave up on the hood because the waves just pulled it off repeatedly. Much laughter. Big waves don't like me. They pick me up and toss me on the beach. They promise 2-3 ft tonight so that will work.

Of course there will be work too. It is a day and work is every day.

I'm sorry, Suzi. That is a tough one. I hope her diagnosis is encouraging.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

if the stars align, I am hoping we can go buy a washing machine this weekend.

Sears will price-match other stores' sales, which I learned when our washer died.

Ooh, washing machine is key to have. I hope you find a super fancy one, cheap!

Shocking news: my roommate actually PAID THE RENT on time. Of course, this is the last month she's paying, but I was pretty sure she'd try to pull a "just use my security deposit" thing. So, yay that.

Yay, rent!

I got exceeds expectations at my review this morning, so I think I may celebrate by buying some books. I just need to choose which books.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Congrats, shrift!

I have one medium-sized task to do today. It was a task to do this week, but here it is Friday afternoon. And it's not even 2pm, and I'm already half-inclined to think it's already too late to bother! FFS, Jesse, just do it.
