(Also, I swear that one year on our way to Topsail, we'll actually stop to see the NC-istas.) (I doubt we're going to the beach this year, though, since Tim's time off is already spoken for.)

Please tell Tim to use his recovering-from-heart-surgery time off to its best benefit, because next year I will remind you again that we are -- no longer a block from the interstate, but a mile from the interstate, which oughta be close enough!

Ooh, nice house!!

Great house, Amych!

Ooh, I missed the house link at first--I like!! I want! ...in Seattle, it would be priced like crazy.

Gorgeous house, amych! So much light--love that.

Pretty house, amych!

I literally gasped - SUCH a great house!

amyparker! so glad you finally got it, hope it wasn't too crushed!

Shiny house is truly shiny!

So shiny! So new!

Very late and belated thanks to Juliana and javachick for their cards!

This month has been a little rough on me. I finally had to ask my doctor for a letter of accommodation to take to work to negotiate getting relieved of some of my duties. I started suffering severe shaking in my hands, shoulders and arms to where I couldn't even type. I stayed home from work a few days to try and deal with it on my own, but it actually got worse with the thought of going to work. After a couple weeks of on and off work, I said the hell with it and asked for the letter from my doctor. We've finally got the wording worked out the way I like, so I should have that in my hot little hand soon to take to my supervisor. And I'm going to print out all the e-mails where I asked him for help and he blew me off. Give the coffin some shape and then chuck the letter at him like it's the last nail.
