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

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

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!

Yikes, Matt. Not good at all.

Laura, isn't it great to be needed to such an extent that you feel like nothing can ever get done without you?

I did mention that absolutely all the information, account numbers, license numbers, user ids, passwords, links, and everything a person might need in life is contained in my knowledge base and readily accessible to my family. That's what I get for being the organized one.

See also, being the only one who can find things. I'm sure I am not alone in that magic skill.

I've often worked with men who were always asking me where they left something. I didn't always answer, "Dude, I am not your wife" but sometimes I did.

Got my car back. Turns out they didn't charge me anything, not even the diagnostic fee, because they didn't find anything wrong. I guess the car is just developing a personality.

Yay not getting charged but boo persistent auto mystery
