Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

FYI, my mom is only 4 years older than my sister, but they were all adults in their twenties when I was born

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I think a therapist sounds like a great place to work this stuff out, Sophia!

I'm going to kill my mother -- she didn't look at the block party sign-up sheet, so she's already made potato salad, when that's what I signed up for! So I'll make this, which will be delicious, but which means I have to go back to the store.

I'm still trying to figure out when the fun part of vacation starts with an almost 4 year old.

My understanding is, in about six years. Sorry.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Yeah, it's going to be interesting on this trip with Mr.S, especially the way he's been behaving lately. Part of the time will be spent at Worldcon, where there will be children's programming, and licensed childcare(which we have already signed up certain blocks of time for), but the rest of the time? We'll be doing some sightseeing, and trying to keep him out of trouble.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Good luck, Sheryl.

That was fun. Went to urgent care for a migraine IV, and the NP on duty was like, I'm not the best at putting in IVs. He got it in the first try, which I appreciate, but I guess when he got it in, he didn't cap it initially? Anyway, he did something or neglected to do something, and I felt liquid dripping down my hand, and I thought, is that blood?

It was indeed blood. Not enough to be a problem, but enough to startle me. Not the kind of thing you expect when you get an IV put in. I think it's going to be a pretty spectacular bruise.

Oh no, Dana! That is disconcerting. Also, maybe that person should find someone else to handle the IVs???? And/or get better.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I have an IKEA shopping cart and an Amazon wishlist for the ew house - items total over $1000.

I remain obsessed with new house that is not yet mine.

Our wings are not tired.

I'm so excited for you, msbelle. Your wish list clearly shows restraint.

DH is on his way to Florida. I'm trying to decide on my first house project, but it is pretty chilly this morning so instead I made a new workout plan. An ambitious one, but doable.

My shopping needs to include sheets and blankets, and pillows. Trying to decide if I should do this in person or on line.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Thursday was the last day of summer school and I woke up on Friday with a TERRIBLE cold. I am just starting to feel human again, barely. Luckily, I'm off until Labor Day, so I have lots of time to reorganize closets, etc. once I am back to my usual vim and vigor.

Timelies all!

We're all packed up here. Flight is at 10pm.
