Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

The deal is done. A will come Sundays at 6 to take out my garbage and do my bidding for an hour or so. And pet the kitty.

I have a thought about Rosie the Riveter and the Morton Salt Girl fighting crime. Inspired by Jesse and -t

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Would watch. I'm envisioning something like Homefront + Foyle's War + magic realism

I really liked that my therapist agreed that it isn't so much that I have to change me, I just have to have coping mechanisms set up

She sounds so great, Sophia. And YAY CLEAN.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm here for that.

And what a good idea re: Maria's son, Sophia.

You guys, I know someone who dressed her twin babies as Belle and the Beast. That doesn't seem right!!

I dressed as Hermione for band tonight (had a robe, bought a tie at Goodwill, borrowed a pin-on watch from my mother), so now I feel like I have two good costumes for the future!

Our wings are not tired.

I'm so happy this is going so well, Sophia! I know how hard it was to tackle this and it is something you really should be proud of accomplishing.

Yay, MedicGuy! Wow, time does fly.

Getting ready for the onslaught of kiddos seeking treats. They have a big party in the park each year and lots of kids were there so I am .... and this is how far I got before the doorbell started and I blew through 150 pieces of candy in no time flat and had to send DH out for more.

So finishing post started hours ago........

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

I started onboarding my replacement today. By the end of the day I let her know how everything went down and that not only do I not have an end date, I have not turned in a resignation yet.

She seems good though, so basically I can train her how and in a way that makes it last 3 months if I want.

Msbelle, that sounds hard. Good for you on onboarding.

I am cuddled up my sofa, the carpets are drying and they look way better than they deserve. I am pretty happy with my arrangement for Sunday's. I would rather pay Aidan $20 a week for almost nothing except to keep me accountable to teenage boy standards than pay for a cleaning service. Although I am still going to get the estimate for a monthly cleaning.

Congrats to MedicGuy!

Sophia, that's just incredible. You recognized a difficult on-going situation, you dealt with it by not running away, you set mechanisms for this not to happen again, and you've worked so hard. You're amazing.

msbelle, I am sorry. This does not sound fun, to say the least.

'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"

I just read the news about Connie N -- I am gutted. Read Beep Me if you haven't already.

Her last post (October 8th) was annoyance that she'd been sick in the morning and her nosy boss would want to know what was up.
