We're on the third floor, but it's a converted warehouse with very high ceilings. So when it comes to stairs it's more like being on the fifth floor. My knees aren't fond of stairs either, so when I have to take them I have a very slow, deliberate progression downward. People behind me have been very patient during fire drills.
Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

We're technically two stories here, but the upstairs only has a rarely used meeting room, our mini photo studio, and storage space. It's accessible by very narrow stairs that turn a corner awkwardly, and apparently by entrances under the eaves if you're raccoon-sized.

Our wings are not tired.
We don't have stairs in Florida, but I do here in Otter Lake. I tell myself it is good exercise the dozen times a day I go up and down the stairs. The dog still thinks I am insane and will not consider going up the stairs under any circumstances.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
On hold with unemployment. Their automated system has been telling me since Friday that they're too busy to pick up the phone, so I had to play games with the automated menu to get put on hold to maybe talk to a person. So this is fun.
Next, I get to call the neuro and find out why they haven't responded to the prescription request from Monday. One of the reasons I left my previous neuro, of course, was that she was so unresponsive.
Edit: And Brussels Airlines is completely blowing us off on our claim for the missing luggage time.

Well, none of that sounds good, Dana. Very poor batting average, universe.

Okay! I have dealt with all three of those things. Unemployment handled, prescription was sent in this morning, and I got snippy with the airline on Twitter, which is the only thing that's been productive so far.

Get it Dana! Yeah!!
I tried to make coffee and forgot I needed to dilute the iced coffee concentrate and couldn't figure out why it was so bitter and gross tasting. Eventually I realized and just poured the whole thing out. Bleh.

Have any of the parent here read/tried 1,2,3 Magic? ltc's pediatrician recommended it because her bad behavior at home is getting worse.
