Was going to make enchiladas. Realized I didn't have tortillas or enough chicken. Contemplated going to the store. Ordered pizza. Tomorrow I'll get chicken and tortillas.
Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

90% done moving my dad. Where can I order a new body? This one hurts.

And still so very yummy. I saw a show on Southwestern cooking that described the Santa Fe style you recommended. I enjoy saying "Oh, I make them the way they do in Santa Fe, you probably haven't heard of it."

second beer down.
I start moving things I want to get rid of to the garage and then decided I would just have a garage sale tomorrow and see if I can get some of it sold, so now I have moved I think about 80% of what I want to get rid of out there. a recliner, 2 chairs, 2 end tables, 2 barstools, 2 boxes of housewares, 1 rack of clothes, a bike, a box of toys, 2 boxes of dolls, a bag of wrapping stuff, a bag of fabric, a bag of yarn, crutches, a box of cat things, a stack of paving stones.
I am giving myself 20 more minutes to pull stuff out then, then going to bed so I can get up and get it set up before 8. I put a listing on craigslist and I have signs to put on the street. everything except furniture (and even some of the furniture will go) that does not sell will go to thrift store.

Sara, not job hopping but something else. This stinks.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Re: beer. I've lapped you about 3 times, msbelle.

Believe me, I feel you. Doing that shit is awful even when ultimately perfunctory, as I did this year. Though I did turn my résumé into something less work specific.
Gotta go buy 25 bottles of soda tomorrow. For retirement party. I honestly don't know the space that fills, only that I lucked out not getting veggie detail as I have not prep or storage room for that.

I'm sorry Strix, but as others have said, nursing care may feel like a horrible choice but it really isn't. I do hope your father and your family get the support you needs from it.
And ugh, msbelle, I do wonder why the therapist is nixing consequences. I wish parenting wasn't so hard. I'll be sending lots of love your way, even if I'm not online. I know for me, summer always seems to start off so rough.
And yipes, how is it two weeks away and what will I do with myself? We are now at the fever pitch pace of the last weeks of elementary school for Isaac. Laser tag this week, pool party next week, 5th grade dance next weekend. Then ice cream social Monday and culmination on Thursday. phew!
Watched 2001 with Isaac tonight. I love introducing the kids to that kind of stuff.
