'Bushwhacked'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
It is here in NY. He likes it here and may well stay after I go back to Florida in late October. That would be a very good thing.
Oh wow, that could be great.
He's been here maybe 3 times in winter but a few days as a kid on vacation isn't the same as driving through icy slush to work.
That is true facts! Apartment living helps a LOT.
My apartment is the annoying kind where I have to shovel. I didn't even realize it until my downstairs neighbor left, because her grandson shoveled and the lease says they shovel shared entrances. Apparantly even though we go through one door, and then to our separate apartments, what they actually mean by shared are the apartment buildings (I live in a house with two apartments) on the same property that have separate entrances for each apartments. I gave up trying to explain what "shared" meant and bought a shovel.
But exciting for your son to have a new job! Yay!

So is mine, but I definitely feel more like I live in a house than in an apartment! (I am also in a two-family house.) When I think "apartment" I think a proper apartment building with a super and everything.
We don't really have those here except for very low income, seniors, and very large income (that I don't actually think anyone rents). We do have a lot of complexes with many small buildings with 3-4 units and a pool, and those have supers.
When I was growing up, at one point we had neighbors from Brazil. The woman's father was a carpenter and he - and her mother - came up to northern New Jersey to help them get their new house in shape. While they were there, it snowed. Being from Brazil, they hadn't seen snow before. The man stood just inside the garage, looked out at it, said something about how pretty it was ... and refused to go out in it.
esse! I'm sorry to have missed your virtual b-day, I saw the message too late. Hope it was fun, and happy belated!
ltc has started peeing on the floor and she also has glitter glue in her hair. So how's everyone else's day going?
Timelies all!
Well, we started with a new nanny/aid today. Mr.S seems to like her, so that's good. Was a bit worried, since he did not go to sleep until late last night.
Oh dear sj, I'm not going to trade days with you. Mine's been pretty mellow.
eta: I hope works out well, Sheryl.
good news Sheryl.
Not good news - sj, I'm sorry.
Fingers crossed for your son Laura and for a commute situation that is not you comes around.
Today was day 1 of my week working in the office. I actually plowed through quite a bit of work, mostly email stuff though, so no real clearing of my desk.
My throat is getting some draining though and is itchy/bothered, so I was wanting to drink a lot and clear my throat. I am taking some extra allergy medicine tonight and will do a neti pot also. I hope that clear it up.
I remember to get air filters and a few other things from the hardware store on the way home, so I am pretty pleased with myself.
I did not get paid on Friday, which is not so pleasing. A mix up of people on vacation who submit and process payroll, so I need to figure out what that issue is since I think it only affected me. I'll get a paper check tomorrow, so it is all good.
