My FIL had prostate cancer too, many years ago. I think the treatment of it is very successful these days.
You can't open the book of my life and jump in the middle. Like woman, I'm a mystery.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Health~ma for your Dad, shrift. And may all your meetings be brief.
I'm still waiting to hear if the shop figured out why my car was making that noise. I hope they don't charge me for overnight storage.

The shop would charge for overnight storage if they haven't figured it out?!? That seems like incentive for them to take their time!!
Also randomly: a friend decided to do a half day of getting stuff done, so she could hike the other half. I misread it as "get stuff half done" and was like "sure, that's cool, I can tell myself I don't have to finish, and then when I manage to pick it up again it'll already be half done!" Lol

Our wings are not tired.
I'm wiped out. DH is buying the Camry. This means ~45 phone calls to me to arrange where to get the $, how to do insurance, how to do tag and registration, and so forth. I just love being indispensable.
Also, my sister's computer was totally hacked meaning countless calls with her ending with my making an appointment for her to drop it off to the Geek Squad because 1500 miles away. Seriously hacked. I tried everything I could with her and can't log in.
DH will drive the car up here ASAP so I can at least take the 3-4 hour a day transport issue off my list. I did make the girlfriend go with me last night because driving late night in mountain fog by myself isn't cool. She read on her tablet the whole time so not so much help looking out for wildlife.
tl;dr really exhausted

Now tagless for your comfort.
Camry's a good get.
Laura, isn't it great to be needed to such an extent that you feel like nothing can ever get done without you? (Not that I would know how that feels *cough dentist appointments, vet appointments, driving lessons, returning school laptops, instrument rentals, banking, taxes, returning used internet routers, changing up cable services, so on and so forth cough*)
Lots of Suburus up here in Wisconsin and I may consider one after the kids are gone and I have driven my minivan to death. (Which will be about 9 years from now.)

Getting stuff half done sounds like my kind of goal

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That sounds like a lot, Laura! And Cashmere!
Jesse do you not have air conditioning?
No, just a window unit in my bedroom. It's mostly been fine so far, and if it weren't I could put a window unit and a desk into the spare bedroom, but that feels like a lot of effort.

Health~ma to your dad, shrift. May he kick the cancer in its ass!
Yesterday was the Monday-est of Thursdays. An executive/friend of mine at my company got fired unexpectedly, and it was a huge shock. Said exec was also my direct supervisor on the current big project, which has been in a massive crunch this week. Not the best time for my pharmacy to be out of stock on my blood pressure meds!

Whoa, Matt! Yeah, that's no good. I hope your weekend is super relaxing and enjoyable!

In retrospect, this was not perhaps the week to start a new medication -- but then, it's hard to time these things. But I suspect my all-day disabling headache on Tuesday was the result of the (minimal) dose of Citalopram.
Prostate cancer is one of those cancers that seems to get more manageable each year, so fingers crossed that it goes that way!
