Central air will also increase your property value, especially in Baltimore which has most definitely sultry summers.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

update on my mom - somehow hearing from the therapist that other kids who act like E turn out fine (I've given her several examples already) and that his brain won't be fully developed until 25 (something I have been saying for years) reassured her. She'll be seeing the therapist every 2 weeks.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Glad to hear it.

That's awesome, msbelle!

...I guess they could call him Levi?

I sure hope so! Leviathan is a terrible name for a child (or adult)

Work-wise, I hit the point of "nope, I can't/won't be able to do that before I leave" and my plan for tomorrow is basically "Forward a lot of emails so someone else has them", but they still haven't found a replacement for me on my hell project, and I feel bad for whoever it is....but definitely not bad enough to not leave!!

I am, however, very freaked out about the fact that I am not in any way packed or prepared for a 3 week trip!

Coding and Sleeping

Saw this headline on CNN 'McConnell says he'd fill a potential Supreme Court vacancy in 2020'. Least. Surprising. Headline. Ever.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'm ready for an asteroid to hit McConnell.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

One of those sneaky sinkholes could open up under him.

Got a vmail from my dr asking if I'd talked to a rheumatologist. Well, no. Because one can't see me 6-8 months, the other was supposed to call me back & hasn't & I got no humans there today. The other recs are all men, & frankly, I don't want to navigate that. Over voluntarily choosing to give men any authority in my life, if I can manage it. I'll go farther afield,blindly, if I can't get a person at the one. I guess I should be glad she's proactive, but I hate this fucking system. I'm in a medical mecca but I cannot get through the fucking gatekeepers & phone trees. And I have no patience for making calls. And I'm fucking lucky.

At least boob squish was easy. I've smashed them worse in my sleep.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

I'm currently in a state where I'd like to know where I'll work and where (and if) I'll go to grad school from October. Because I'll have to move somewhere, and technically I can start looking today, but I have no idea if I'll even stay in Jerusalem.

(I'd like to stay here very much. I love this city. But again, no idea how my life will look like in four months' time).

(And yes, reader. You remember correctly: I have, indeed, just moved in December).

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I'm at the emergency room. I passed out this morning and hit my head. I'm feeling okay now but I wanted to be checked out. All nothing~ma you have lying around would be helpful.
