I love my three-year-old Impreza.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

It's very nice, feels very right-sized on the road. This one has a back-up camera and various features like lane detection and a little beep when the car in front of you starts to move away.

The bus is 10' 2" tall, which means it's not Storrow-worthy, nor a lot of the lower bridges on Memorial Drive, so I will have to get used to taking a couple alternative routes. It seats 14, plus a wheelchair ramp and space for a couple walkers. I figure that I'll take it around the parking lot a couple times, maybe up and down some side streets slowly until I'm feeling confident. It's not so large that it requires a CDL, but it would be very bad to have an accident in my first week...

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

Timelies all!

Mr. S goes back to his new school tomorrow, while continuing with PEP.(A bus will come to the school to pick him up and drop him off) Fingers crossed...

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Latvia's starting to look good.

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

I swear to you that before I scrolled down to your post, I was thinking "Hell, even Latveria sounds good right now." Bring on the frigging Doombots.

My cover letter by Rebecca Boston.

HI - I need a job. I think I could do the job you need. I CAN SPELL!

- super professionally, Rebecca.

*totally steals msbelle's cover letter*

Speaking of the job sitch, just went and reminded the interim boss of the discussion we had before his vacay about me not being happy with the job title/raise/etc. and that he was going to look into it. Meanwhile, I've got a recruiter in touch with me about a job that looks pretty promising. I'm not sure which to hope for any more.

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

I applied for 3 jobs today. better than 0, I guess.

Mac is in the house tonight. Complete breakdown in the backyard and then got agitated and was threatening violence against others and I fear he might have gotten himself hurt if I did not pull him in tonight.

I have made it very clear that in order to stay any amount of tie at all, he MUST get into therapy. And I have him at least looking at the Transition programs that I really think are the best option for him right now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I really hope he does it.
