Stay hydrated, Sheryl.

Thanks folks. I really appreciate the support and encouraging words. Advocating for myself was rough but once I got the ball rolling, it has been easier with each discussion. I definitely borrowed courage from y'all even if you didn't know it at the time.

Go Suzi!

Oh no, I'm afraid I'm allergic to my new front yard. This morning, I was super sneezy and snuffly in the living room (with open window), but I thought it was probably dust and a sign I should clean. Then I went out to trim the remaining bushes, and it was a disaster of blowing my nose on my t-shirt, so I thought it was in the air. Then I went about the rest of my day and was fine. Now I'm back in the living room again and sneezy and snuffly again. Oy.

That's awesome Suzi!

I'm waiting on my Mac to finish something before I can leave work. It's going slower than usual which I suspect may be because it's getting too hot.

The Lieutenant Governor of Texas just robo-called our tech support line. I didn't listen to his spiel, but maybe I should have. This is better than the daily calls from the fax machine, where you could just hang up and go down to the bottom of the queue.

Gud, I call your attention to my current tag.

Oh no, Jesse! That's no good.

And I'm finally home. This sure felt like a very long day. And week. I should be out shoveling mulch so I would be able to soak it well before I go to bed (my address being an odd number means I can only waitron Tuesdays and Fridays) but I think I am too tired.

A friend found a yorkie something today. no tags, no chip. she has 3 dogs and the little thing was not being friendly so I offered to take it after she tried to find the owners this afternoon. Little man is chillin in a chair in the livingroom. He did try snapping at our dog, but is ignoring the cat. I am not really looking for another pet, so I have posted on some lost ped boards on fb - the lady who found him did also. Also there is a guy at work who has a yorkie and is willing to have them meet and see if they get along. If they do and no owner is found, he will take him.

That's good, msbelle.

Dad update. The postmaster came by to check on him and he had her carry his load of plants and topsoil in for him. @@ (His fall happened outside the post office.) The small towniness is killing me.

I love that! (Like when my grandmother's hairdresser was telling the EMTs her medical history after she fell outside the salon.)

So I guess I could try dusting anyway, what could go wrong?
