So, someone I know just posted on Facebook that her (Long-Island-raised) son got dinged on a school assignment (in Arkansas) for saying "meant" and "mint" are not homophones. Regional accents strike again!
They are here!

Our nurse's last day is tomorrow. And I'm genuinely pissed. The pissed-ness is coming from feeling abandoned and worried for Grace and just generally blah.

AND the endocrinologist says Grace can't have HGH treatment because her white blood count is high. We had her checked and rechecked and our PCP never said anything but the geneticist wrote that she thought Grace needed to be referred to hematology.
I JUST CANNOT.
And since last year, Grace lost 1/2 lb.

aw, Kat, that sucks.
I have not completed the job pursuit tasks but I did make a delicious lemon eggplant risotto topped with lamb meatballs and watched tv with my husband.
Thank you all for your good advice and for listening to me whine. I know I'm in a super privileged place right now w/r/t work and I shouldn't be complaining 'bout nuthin'.
ION, the weather is getting kind of scary here.

Not raining enough volume per minute for my roof leak, yet. I've been trying to call for 3 weeks and everydamntime I've picked up the phone, work crisis. I need to stop that. Or find a grown up to run my life.

Problem in the basement is my secret hidden spring plus the leaky floor seam. Roof leak not an issue down there.
Fuck, I should check the basement.

Aaaaaand spring sprung ( in the middle of a high part of the basement floor) and mild seam leaks. Not even one shopvac tonight.
