The plumbers have an appointment for Tuesday AM, but I'm on the standby list for Monday, so we'll see.
Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Good luck with everything, Shir!
Jesse, I made contact with Winters so that's in motion. No doubt expensive motion, but that's Owning A House for you -- you never have to say "what will I do with all this lovely money!?"
That sounds about right.
Tomorrow I have to clean the whole house, and run a couple of errands. Before choir at 7. Let's do this!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
On the other hand, when we vacation, she wants to play everything by ear and just wander, and I want a plan and I want to make sure I see the museum or zoo or whatever in the suggested order and use a map to go to things without a lot of wandering because we might miss something.
There's a way to both of these things, which is actually what I prefer when I'm traveling.
And that is have a couple tentpoles up for the day (One museum, one neighborhood, one key restaurant for lunch) and then leave it unstructured the rest of the time.
Pick neighborhoods with a lot to explore and there you are.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Went to church with the parents and then out to lunch with about 20 of their friends. Other parts of the day involved trying to explain what a meme is to my mother, finding VHS-to-DVD conversion options for my father, and watching football. Late in the evening my mother started feeling pukey. I hope whatever it is, it is mild and resolves quickly.

I think I could do the neighborhood unstructured, but I feel like museums are laid out in a particular way for a reason, which is why they give you a map! For maximum enjoyment.

Looks like mom's operation went fine. She's in recovery now, I'm waiting to hear when she'll be released. Thanks for the ~ma, I appreciate it.

Good news Shir!
I am finding myself really unmotivated to go to work today. Not actually work, but the travel part. I am considering working from home. But I feel like there are maybe things I have to do there before break. And I know I am so lucky to get break, but it is really my eleventy billion vacation days and the fact we are a school that allows me to take break. I am still losing about 2-3 weeks of vacation days untaken. I get five and carry five and it seems impossible to take 10 weeks.
