ita, you have got to have some reasonable grounds for some sort of disability ruling by now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Best news! My case settled!! Such a relief. And then the judge came and chatted with us and showed us around his office and stuff and we got to take a picture at his chair. Hilarious. And THEN I got a ride home! PERFECT.

That sounds like a good way to wrap up your jury duty, Jesse.

We were all giddy. I mean, we were all ready to do our civic duty, and realized it could have been a lot worse, but then to have it wrap on day 2? Perfect!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That's great, Jesse!

Aimee, that's so rough. Big hugs to you and MM and any conflicting feelings you're left with. :(

That sounds like great jury duty, Jesse!

It feels really humid here in Seattle today. Muggy almost, even though it hasn't broken 70. Do not want!

And...I got all my hair cut off. Pictures to come. I'm more than a little worried about what it'll look like when *I* try to do it tomorrow, though!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Aimee, peace and strength to all of you.

Jesse, it sounds like you went to court camp.

I'm hitting a wall. 9am - midnight every day is too much. I need to find a quiet place to close my eyes for 15 minutes.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

My deepest sympathies to you, Aimee, and the family.

Got a call just now on my cell phone that was thankfully a wrong number. Calls in the middle of the work day are always anxious-making, so I grabbed the phone and said Hello. This thin, female voice gasps and mumbles something. I'm thinkng, "Fuck, it's a nurse or somebody from Huntsman with bad news." So I ask who is it, and I get another gasp and mumble. "Who is this?" I snap. With an apparent supreme effort, Female manages to say "Is this mumble-mumble?", where none of the mumble sounds anything like my name. I say No, she mumbles and hangs up. I hold the phone for a bit just to see if I get another call, and fortunately she didn't.

bah

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

Connie, I hate calls like that in general, but with what you have going on in your life - grrrrrr.

I need some advice. When someone is saying "I can't tell you why I'm mad, you have to figure it out for yourself. If I tell you, then any apology doesn't count". Beyond the zillion sarcastic comebacks - I need a real way to respond. Though, honestly, this is so childish, I don't think it warrents a response. Unfortunately it is someone I can't just dismiss.
