You rock these stealth interviews, ita. Maybe stop trying so hard.
ION, this was a day of onerousness, I just set up the disconnection of the phone number we've had for over 20 years. But it's mostly automated calls and wrong numbers anymore, and it just cut $60 off the monthly expenses.
Plus I did the monthly payment on the back taxes. I deserve some ice cream.
I'm glad you're getting interview traffic, ita!
On my way home, I had to pull over for multiple emergency vehicles and soon 3 choppers were circling overhead. A three year old girl was killed by a stray shot from a driveby 2 blocks west on Old York, goddamnit. [link]
I wouldn't characterize that area in decline.Struggling but on the upswing and then shit like this happens.
I have a horrible feeling she's a kid I'd recognize at the pool.
Oh that's heartbreaking, sarameg. Her poor parents!
Also kudos, Connie! I have been your obverse today and studiously avoided all the truely onerous tasks waiting for me. Did some writing instead, so yay! Am now drinking red wine and planning on getting a bit more writing in before dinner. DH won't be home until 9 or so, so dinner will be heat up X for I and Y for F and decide if I want to eat.
Oh christ, I probably do. From reporter Justin George's twitter: Just spoke with 3-year-old McKenzie Elliott's father who was on the bus coming back from work at Cheesecake Factory to take her to the pool.
