Good news & bad news. Good is that we have an appointment to see an ideal apartment for son tomorrow. Getting a place has been challenging, but this sounds hopeful. Bad news is that DH had severe head pain when the plane was landing so his doctor is making him come in this afternoon. I think sinus infection, but doctor wants to check BP and other stuff too. He is at a record high weight so he is in for a record level of lecture from our doc.
Simon: You are my beautiful sister. River: I threw up on your bed. Simon: Yep. Definitely my sister.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Fingers crossed, Laura.
I continue to try to make my own fun. I decided I want new glasses, so I went window shopping online, and then realized that basically what I want is my old glasses, and my prescription hasn't changed, so I'm just wearing my old glasses again.
So therefore I finally ordered a roomba.
(What? I saved so much money on glasses!!!)

I love my not a roomba but some other variety of robotic vacuum. I just sit and watch it do my least favorite chore.

Yay old glasses and new roomba! Hope your DH is ok, Laura.
I feel like coming back to work was a terrible mistake. Except for the getting a paycheck part, which I do need. But three days of work feels like it might actually kill me by sheer weight of stress.

Ugh.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Is anyone else getting the "This is an apology call from your utility" scam a dozen times a day?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Oh, yes.

Haven't gotten that one. Mostly I'm hearing the car insurance ones that all mispronounce "warranty" that same way.

I keep getting "someone in your family recently stayed at (some hotel)" and blah blah.

I don't know what spam calls I'm getting, because I have a spam blocker. But I do know the number has gone from 1–2 a week to 6–7 a day. They show up on my phone as "potential spam" and I don't answer. I figure if it's a real person who really wants to talk to me, they can leave a message.
