Bitches seemed to be the place to link to this (a place to paint your own ceramic dildo ... and I keep thinking, "oh to be in England now that April's here")

My thought last night was, "I don't have any specific time I need to be at work tomorrow -- I'll just not set an alarm, and sleep as long as I need to." I did not expect to wake up at 1:30.

I've always been kind of heat intolerant but not this bad I'm blaming perimenopause. Today was so busy and not great for sensory issues. The housekeeping people had to vacuum once we were open and for about half hour as we got busy they were vacuuming right near me.

The Life water helped.

Someone quit so we were short handed. I don't want to be more short handed but I want the 2 girls who complain all the time about how much they hate customers and hate everything to quit.

Dcp I will check that out.

Hil, you just really needed some good sleep!

Handpainted ceramic dildoes seem very Victorian.

Askye, you may want to also try getting some packets of Emergen-C, there are electrolytes in it, and it's good to just add to a bottle or glass of water when you need a boost.

Also, scenes on TV where a father shows his daughter unconditional love and support still make me cry. I miss my dad.

There's an online certificate program in genealogy that I'm thinking about enrolling in this summer. I really think I'm getting to the point where I'm not sure how much longer I can handle teaching, just from a physical standpoint, and I love genealogy, and it's something that I could do from home, on a more flexible schedule. And I could do tutoring (either privately or at Kumon or Mathnasium or somewhere like that) for some more money, too. The genealogy summer program is for people who have the basic research skills, who want to learn how to do things like prepare professional reports and cite sources correctly and the laws and ethics about reporting on living people and things like that, and some deeper research skills, plus a module on genealogy as a business. I'm not 100% certain that this is what I want to do, but I do know I want to at least explore the possibility. And even if I decide not to make it a career, I'll still have fun learning all this stuff.

Vortex, it's been much longer for me, and those scenes... yeah. Hugs, if you want them.

Hil, i can totally see you doing that.

That sounds like a good idea, Hil.

That sounds great, Hil. You were really great at figuring out the Italian village my grandparents were from. Also, do you have the link, because I might be interested

Hil, that sounds like a solid plan. Shoot, you found my bio-dad's home village in England in 0.2 seconds when I couldn't find anything for 25 years.
