I was surprised it was that bad, but gratified that I didn't go to the doctor for a minor issue.
A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Yeah I know what you mean. It's weird to find out you were sicker than you realized.
Which reminds me, I need to make an appointment for my yearly physical.

I've got the furnace guy coming in tomorrow. I have a weird old furnace that lives in the crawlspace under the house. MOst of the furnace techs get a look of horror when they see what they have to crawl into. I'd like to tip the poor guy, but I'm not sure if that's done.

"I told you I was sick"
You could offer him cookies, Connie? If tipping isn't done. Cookies are always okay, right?
On a whim, I looked to see what the employee discount would be on our super fancy copper cookware from Italy. I should not have done that. I think I have talked myself into not buying some right now...maybe later, if I get this scrambled egg cooking figured out and work out the pot rack situation.

I swear I'm going to go full out Mommie Dearest on my roommate one of these days, but instead of wire hangers, it will be cutlery and dishes from the dishwasher, once again put into in in every wrong way you can think of, and some which you'd swear were physically impossible.

Me to my mom: "I'm kind of sad about my maternity leave ending. It's going to be hard to be away from Jane all day."
My mom: "Yeah, I'm glad I didn't have to do that when you and your brother were young. It would have been too hard."
Um, thanks?

How close are you to deciding it would be easier to just take over loading the dishwasher since she's so bad at it? t /conspiracy-theorizing
So, I'm wearing my new animal print shirt (I think it's a sort of pastiche of several big cat patterns - classier than it probably sounds, I hope (but I am not attempting to wear it with the new pleather skirt, went with my favorite black dress pants today)) and one of my coworkers told me it looks good with my complexion. That's always so nice, especially since it isn't something I would have thought (not that I think it looks bad, but I never considered Tawny Lion a flattering color on me)

Ugh. When Joanne left, it meant that our ability to get Grace to Tuesday PT stopped. They have scheduled us into a Thursday at 5:00 slot. On good days we are abel to get home at 4:30 and we live at least 30 minutes from the clinic without traffic. We'll have to see how it goes.

Dishwashers: unless they're the brand "my Mom", never had one. We have one at work and once watched three coworkers argue about the best way to load it at 10pm after an event. Yeah, we could have hand washed that before they finished reloading and pressing start.
Goats are here!
It's amazing the difference in personalities and attitudes between what are basically donated rescue goats, and those who had been bottle fed by Ann and raised in a happy life. The herd last year felt like instant friends, while these guys are wary and biters and even the idea of a field is foreign to them. The amazing thing is that a lot of them were donated by kids from 4-H groups. This is their first year as free goats. Now they get to breed in a natural cycle, roam and graze fairly freely, and just be goats, instead of breeders, milkers, or meat. I hope me and Beast can be friends. The Beast list in the fire was my Rottweiler teddy bear (said with a deep love of Rotties).
