I came back home and things are a better. Or the two fingers of whiskey helped make them appear better.
I just said that you're pretty. Even when you're covered in...engine grease, you're... No, especially, especially when you're covered in engine grease.

Hope it's actually better, Suzi.
Got my burritos made, I did not think that would happen. I think that gets me up to 12 breakfasts and 7 lunches with ingredients to hand for several dinners, so I shouldn't starve this week.

My nephews have made over $150 picking up pinecones at $.05 each.
My parents have a lot of pinecones. They're also having a blast with the boys. I haven't heard my dad this silly in a while and he's the one generally less patient with kids on a 24/7 basis. I think they've hit an age where he engages best with them. Of course, now he wants to take the eldest out to the shooting range, but is unsure about his mothers reaction ( I think she'd be fine, but I love that he actually thinks to ask. Unusual for him!)
...my dad never took my brother and me shooting. Hell, he never owned a gun til long after we left. But he was notorious in his hood growing up for shooting out street lights ...so he'd have better viewing with his telescope.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
As opposed to gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door. That's so raven.
BT is my fave given my usual username and the amusing, TO ME, pun I play on it: Quoth the Raven, 404.

I took benzos. I think morning might look better. Or at least well-rested. I'd prefer the prior but settle for the later.
Jebus, adulting is hard.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
ARGH -- my excellent staff person just gave notice. UGH UGH UGH. My boss and I had plans for her next promotion already!

I love your dad, sarameg.
Jesse, does this mean you get to interview all over again?
It's oddly humid today and I'm trying to think of something to do today that does not involve being sweaty.
Thoughts?

Did you tell her that, Jesse?
Got to the gym before work! That seems like it will work as a regular thing, although I have not worked out all the kinks.
Museum, aquarium, movies, Kat? I'm trying to think of Places with Air Conditioning.

Yup.
Did you tell her that, Jesse?
Vaguely, but I wasn't actually trying to talk her out of it, because on general principles I think it's a good idea for her to leave here -- she's been in different jobs here since she got out of college 4 years ago, and I do believe in moving around!

That makes sense. Bummer for you, though!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Today is the first day of a week without camp and I'm regretting it already. Anyone want two kids? They tend to behave well for others, promise!
I have to go to campus today for more interviews, this time for part-time lecturers, so really Cody is going to bear the brunt of Franny's stink fest, poor guy.
