Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Dana, it's more the weird part where they insisted they don't hear it from the insurance company, only from my company. Which seems v indirect. And that they're saying my prescription coverage went until 31Aug, even though my health insurance didn't?!

I hope you took care of yourself, Gud.

I got to do more Actual Job today... which involved some actual driving! The regular passenger work car is a Subaru Impreza with all the bells and whistles, so I did a couple test runs with my supervisor to some of the more common destinations (like Star Market and MGH) and showed off my mad driving skills.. in a most sedate and safe way, of course.

And then there was a group expedition to the Legal Seafood restaurant about a mile away -- with 8 residents, two of the Activities Coordinators, two brand new interns, and me. With 5 walkers to wrangle. And we workers got comped lunch, too! Nice little benefits with the job, huh!

I just had to share this. Latvia's starting to look good.

Our wings are not tired.

Woo, Theodosia! Makes the day go faster than watching videos, no doubt.

I'd hoped to be able to get out and do some fun stuff on a vacation day today, but it was in the mid 90s (heat index over 100°), so I just ran errands that I'd been needing to take care of. Still, glass desktop ordered, raggedy favorite shirt turned over to be hemmed, birthday card bought, and I established that Target doesn't have any necklace chains that will keep my tiny flash drive tethered so it doesn't go AWOL.

At least a really good BBQ truck made a surprise return to the city, so lunch was the best ribs I've had all year.

I'm afraid to go to Latvia, I'm afraid I'd call it Latveria.

Yay, Theodosia! How do you like the Impreza? I've been eyeing it for my next car.

I love my three-year-old Impreza.
