Saw the eclipse successfully! Hooray! And showed two of my co-workers how to use a pinhole camera/make shadow puppets to see an eclipse, so that was fun.
It's good to have cargo. Makes us a target for every other scavenger out there, though, but sometimes that's fun too.

No, once she moves in, you're going to be person-watching longterm as well.

I feel like running to my Mommy, truly. There has to be an adult out there who can help me.

That doesn't sound good, Theo. I hope she's okay and does not become your responsibility.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh man, Theo. You can't take her on, but I hope you can help her in some way.
Does everyone know there's a solar eclipse starting in about 15 minutes?
I just felt bad about missing it, except there was no sun here at all. This is a huge-ass storm! 24+ hours on and off.

You know what's almost as good as chicken tikka masala at the restaurant? Heated up leftover chicken tikka masala!

Leftover Indian is just as good as leftover Pad Thai. Yum!
Tim is making me mac & cheese because I'm whining about my migraine and I also have a lot of work to still do. It's useful having a houseboy.

Thrive to spite them
I'm not really surprised about the email thing in the past month I've had to explain to someone how the internet works (in terms of how it comes into your house and how routers work) and another person confuse that until recently she had no idea you needed the internet to use emial. This person claimed that someone has been making her a custom program for accounting for condo and rental managment. Except it only runs on Windows XP, which she still has -but she's planning on patenting and selling the program. I explained that unless they could get it to work on other operating systems it wouldln't be of use to people.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
So I am due for another root canal, yay. Dentist asked me if I am a stressed person, because I am apparently grinding my teeth flat in my sleep. I wish I could send my bill to old boss lady. I wish I actually had dental insurance.
