I hope graduating doesn't leave too big a hole for him to adjust to.

I think between the EMT course, which is 8 instruction hours a week and his Fire Science program which is 12, he will be plenty busy. Plus, he can still respond to searches if/when he wants.

All his classes are EMS/Fire Science except for one math - trig and one psychology - psychology of death and dying. Trig is the only one I'm worried about.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

My ex-boyfriend's daughter is 15. Of course, my other ex's kid is what, like, 19 now or something. It's ridiculous, this whole passage of time thing.

Good for CJ.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I can't remember what thread I talked about this in, but anyway, the folks who made an offer on my parents house but then had their buyer fall through, has a new buyer, and has made a new offer. Yay! So real estate~ma please. They're expected to close (and move) September 15th, which may or may not mean I am making another trip back there. Which would be bad timing, right up against the beginning of the school year, but hey, I'll take the tradeoff if it means things will work out for them long term. And it looks like they might be able to rent the house across from my sister's place while they buy and remodel the house next door to my sister. So that would all be very ideal. Fingers crossed!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Fingers crossed indeed!

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

Much ~ma for all that to work out, Liese!

My eye has been lasered, and it's responding nicely. Five minutes with the laser, but it was weirdly uncomfortable. I don't know what it would have felt like without the numbing (which I think was necessary for all the poking the poor eyeball went through). I didn't feel it in my eye, but with each pulse there was a pressure inside my head and a very unpleasant metallic snapping sound like those spring steel snappers you can get. It zinged around my skull and poked me right above my spine. And there was a vibration in my sinuses. I don't know if the machine was making a noise at a weird pitch or some effect of the laser itself. The doc nodded in recognition of my complaint. I think I'll try earplugs next week and see if it's sound or vibration.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I hate getting lasered in the eye more than getting an injection in the eye. Although that might be because I had Valium for the latter but not the former.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I hope everything falls into place, Liese!

Ugh Connie, sounds uncomfortable, although very living-in-the-future!

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I'm going to take a stand against getting anythinged in the eye. Especially without valium.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I really want a nap.

I really do not want a laser in my eye.
