oh dear. well honestly there is tons of death in kids movies.
Yeah, and she's just getting to the point where all of it makes her cry. She's very sensitive.
I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

Happy Birthday, sj! Uh, sorry about the crying?
I'm not using it right now, but work pays for my monthly transit pass and my transit credit card expired at the end of June. I called and asked the provider to mail me a replacement card because they should have sent me one automatically before it expired, but clearly that didn't happen. I opened the letter today and found a replacement healthcare debit card, which I didn't need for another three years. So on Monday I get to call them again and politely ask what the hell.
My new work desk arrived today in five separate packages. Fingers crossed that its assembly doesn't drive me to tears this weekend.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
What? Noooooo. The goal is no ER, not ER again.

Happy birthday, sj!
Health~ma to your dad, shrift.
With the incredibly flimsy excuse of keeping the battery topped up, I went on a two hour drive through the countryside this afternoon. It was a beautiful, sunny day, and if it was hot, well, the AC worked.

I am sitting on my front porch in Otter Lake. Bright moon in the sky. A few neighbors setting off fireworks. Have several LED candles, a glass of wine, and my nook at hand. It's cool and peaceful and I wish I could share the calm.
Went for a drive earlier through mountain farmlands and way up to the windmill farms. So peaceful.

Thanks. We're waiting to see if they'll be able to release him or if he'll need to be admitted overnight.
Also, I took a look at the boxes my desk came in and apparently there are supposed to be six boxes. Hopefully there's another box downstairs that I overlooked, otherwise this isn't an auspicious beginning.
