Woot!
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

I figure the sun is always over the yardarm somewhere.
Yay for good interview! I don't suppose "Google" would be an acceptable answer.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I have had a not good travel experience, but soon there will be shrift and liquor.

All's well that ends well

I called AT&T and finally complained that they were charging me the DC 911 fee, and they were like "Oh, when did you move?" and I had to be like "Um, seven years ago? But I just noticed it and cared to call about it now?"
I also got a haircut.
I did not manage to get much work done, though. AND, my internet is still being weird (now my computer will get on the wireless but my ipad says it can't join).

I pulled on my big girl panties and scheduled my car for an oil change tomorrow. They're also going to do a quick inspection of the thing, all for about $35. Not having to do these things myself or impose on loved ones is worth the cost.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Not a lot of change in my dad's condition. His lungs and blood pressure are better at least. They stopped giving him sedatives this morning to try to get him to wake up--by this afternoon he still hadn't although it wouldn't be unusual if he didn't wake up until tomorrow. They were unable to get him off the ventilator this morning so they're gonna try again tomorrow.
My mom was fine with my dad today--she spent a few hours at his side holding his hand and stroking his head.
We went out to dinner in Clintonville and I had a very Wisconsin-supperclub-ish dinner of walleye and a grasshopper. And I splurged and got a hotel with a hot tub.

Glad you splurged, tommyrot, and that your mom was okay with your dad.
I think I might make myself a cocktail. Gin and strawberry puree, is that a thing?

OK. I will make it so.
ETA: 2 oz gin + 3/4 oz lemon juice + heaping tablespoon of strawberry puree. Pretty good! And that's the last of my Hendricks. I am tempted to search back through Natter for my initial asking for gin buying advice so I can nail down exactly how long it took me to drink that...
