Man, I haven't been here since May!
Hello people! It's good to see you. Topic Cindy - I hope your son is improving.
I am relishing our cooler less humid weather this week after the hell of last week. Has the shift in weather hit most of the country yet? I recall looking at a weather map last Tuesday and seeing that almost the entire continental US was hot pink - and where it wasn't hot pink it was a deep red. Is this what we have to look forward to now?
I am still enjoying the library - despite the ways that some people have of confirming that humans are crazy (i.e., the guys that almost got into a fist fight right by the circ desk. . . not teens or children: adult men.)
I did a Stitch Box - and purchased everything in it. This is a huge step in the right direction for me as I really loved the clothing and I really hate shopping. It actually fit. . . and looked good. And now that you don't have to have a monthly subscription I can actually afford the occasional treat of new clothes delivered to me that I may or may not purchase.
Haven't watched the new Veronica Mars yet - sadly, I will have to watch it on my phone as that is where I can have Hulu. (Unless, I can get that old Apple TV I got handed down to me to work.)
sumi! Hi sumi!
Ooh, I didn't know Stitch Box had switched from subscription only. That's interesting. I got a couple boxes from them a while back and liked the stuff they sent me, but dealing with the subscription was Too Much
I stopped using Stitch Fix when I decided I had enough clothes, but I was always able to put my subscription on hold indefinitely.
Apparently, I needed a lot of rest last night. Fell asleep in a chair around 9pm, then went to bed after a brief awakening and slept through til 8 this morning. At least I got one humdinger of a dream out of it, featuring one of my best friends from high school, an Alien Nation type setting, an identity theft caper, and my girl cat's missing papa as the alien in charge of a high-tech clinic/spa where the caper went down.
May I share a wild story? [link]
Whoa, that reminds me of the Victoria Bitter saga.
Geography note on that wild story -- the hardware store where he met Maria-Pia is close by Jesse's house (and mine, and Jon's). And a bunch of other places mentioned are also well known by all of us.
Listening to Mueller testimony. No one on the panel seems to understand the meaning of the word question. So much speechifying!
That's a lot, shrift. I'm sorry.
Oy, meara. I have parents with communications issues (to say the least), but that's one thing they never tried on me yet. (Though two weeks ago I came home to a family dinner to find my dad who has health issues with a serious ache on the couch but I Was Not Allowed to ask any questions or discuss it and was hushed to pretend that I ignore it. Only after 30 minutes he rested a bit and could talk about it. And it's the dad that's avoiding doctors and hides his pain and nearly died because of it in the past. If they weren't my parents, I would have given up years ago).

All of us at work are like, "We should be eavesdropping more at Darwin's!" I'm sure I walk by all of these people all the time.
On family communication - once, years ago, my mother was on vacation in St. Croix. I got a very upset call from my sister that she'd had a reaction to something (turned out to be the conch fritters), had gone to the hospital and they wouldn't let her leave. I was having visions of once she was released from the hospital having to take time off from work, fly down and escort her home. It later turned out that the doctor didn't want her to leave the ISLAND; while I was worrying she was lying on the beach enjoying the sun (and ever after avoiding conch fritters).
