Communicate with clients, manage projects, supervise others. Plus literary skills. Those are all legitimate and you can embellish as needed.

I have had the pain of having sick old cats and it's no picnic. Sending ma and hugs.

I shall say supervised like Mr Rogers if I want too!

I have set mousetraps but my cat is still staring at the stove! I guess I hope a mouse doesn't pop out during city inspection!

If having mice meant a place wasn't inhabitable, we'd be in real trouble.

In other news, when I have minor health things, I tend to ignore them and hope they go away. Well, recently, I have tried the idea of OTC treatments, and guess what? Sometimes they work! I have a skin thing that I finally bought some cream for, and it is better! And I took some Advil PM last night, and I think it helped me sleep better! Amazing. (I have never found antihistamines to make me fall asleep, but that isn't my problem at night anyway.)

I lurve Advil PM.

I use Benadryl, but it does make my nose dry. My problem is not being awake from 2am-6am when I need to get up by 6:30. I fail on the daily.

I think I almost feel like a real human being again. I will not feel truly settled until the real inspection.

Sophia, listen to yourself, Maria means we'll but you know your mother better than she does. It took me forever to realize that TCG's parents were not my mom and not let it annoy me.

Zen, your brain is lying to you. I'm sorry you have so much piling on you at once. If you want a second pair of eyes to look at your resume, I'm happy to help. I've done it for TCG many times and a couple Buffistas as well.

Jesse, go you with the self care!

We went out for our anniversary last night. We got to see a movie and have dinner in the same night! Without ltc! It was lovely. My inlaws called ahead and paid for an appetizer and drinks for us.

Belated Happy Anniversary, sj. Kid free date nights are awesome.

Anyone hear anything from Amyth?

I chatted with amyth last evening, she said the chemo meds were kicking in, leaving her feeling exhausted. I told her I was sorry about how shitty she feels, but I hoped that it meant that the cancer was getting it's ass kicked even worse. And she's stressed out because she STILL hasn't been able to get a clean spinal tap, and they're giving her anxiety meds to help her to sleep.

Thanks for the update, Tom. I absolutely understand being too exhausted to do a lot of communicating. She is on my mind a lot. Do your thing, chemo meds!
