Oy, Matt. I hope things smooth out and he can go home soon.
Scrappy, your mom sounds marvelous.
I watched about half of the JCS broadcast, and was a bit disappointed in the cuts in some of the songs I know so well, but the singing is really very good.
Weirdness: I got home tonight at 9:30 PM to find an orange card on my front gate that says it's a Postal Service DOG WARNING CARD. Has my address hand-written on it. I'm like, WTF? It's a Sunday and there shouldn't have been a mail carrier around.
I admit that the dog barks a LOT at the mail carrier, and will jump at the security door if the door to the porch is open when the mail is delivered (which is only when I'm home and around the house). But she's never outside, and never has had the chance to do any more than startle someone when they come to the front step to deliver the mail.
So, what do I do?
Scrappy, your mom sounds like an amazing woman. Thank you for sharing that.
This. Thank you.
Matt, continued ~ma to your father and you and yours.
Oh dear, Matt. I hope your dad, and the rest of you, were able to get some good rest. ICU is not conducive to rest at all.
Huh, Consuela. Maybe your usual mail person is on vacation or something. I'd at least write a note back with assurances, or perhaps stop by the post office with a note for your carrier.
Snow in April is bullshit.
Mondays are bullshit.
Insomnia is bullshit.
You know what else is bullshit? Because of the snow, if I call in sick to work, my employer, NYC, is going to require a doctor's note. So I'm stuck going into work.
BULLSHIT.
As I tried to argue in an English class in college, this is what he meant by "April is the cruelest month."
Also, why don't we have Easter Monday as a holiday??? I'm so tired it hurts.
Consuela - those are apparently meant to be internal messages to the carriers so they know there is a dog, not supposed to be delivered to you and not requiring any action [link]
Hope the ongoing drain leads to ongoing feeling better, Matt!
Guess I better drag myself out of bed. Do not want.
Did anyone else have a white Easter?
We're just having a white Easter Monday -- yesterday was nice. And this is the good kind of snow that's not sticking to the ground, anyway.
They were saying yesterday that we would get five inches today, but it looks like we're only getting an inch or two of slush.
