Thanks, Hec. This week hasn't worked out exactly the way I was hoping it would, but we're still planning on seeing vw and Stitch tomorrow to celebrate Stitch's birthday since ltc doesn't have a fever. ltc woke up crying because she thought the fact that her ear hurt meant she couldn't go.
Right. Sir. Honey.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
My coping mechanism today seems to be to eat all the things. How does that help? No clue.
I got my second shingles shot today.
Congrats on new job!
Congrats on housing starts and closes.
Boo ear infection. Seems like tele-visit should be allowed for that.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I got my second shingles shot today.
Oh man, I have a huge welt from my first shingles shot (that I got Wednesday morning). It's almost comical.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I often have the urge to get into the car and just drive to Oklahoma. It's not that far, and then I will have been to Oklahoma.

Have you not been to Oklahoma, Dana?
It's been a while since I had the urge to just drive away. I kind of could right now, pack up the cat and the laptop and go. Maybe that's why doing it is less appealing, I wouldn't be leaving anything behind.

I've had the impulse to abandon my job, my apartment, everything, and just (as they say) light out for the territories. But I am (dammit) a grown-up and too old to start over.
For ltc - try a heating pad or something warm. I had constant infections (ear, sinus, throat) and warmth would help the ears.

I have never been to Oklahoma. I wonder how long it takes to get to Arkansas from here, where I have also never been.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I never have the impulse to run away, because I already ran to the one place I want to stay.
I do, periodically, have the impulse to hunker down and not leave San Francisco though.
Just talked to our Realtor and he squeezed $15k out of the seller to deal with the undocumented HVAC issues. We're about two weeks from the close of Escrow and we've been warned the lenders will want ridiculous amounts of documentation about every little thing and there will be so many things to sign.
But we are still on glide path for landing [knock wood] so far.

Am I remembering right that you are in Houston, Dana? That doesn't seem terribly far to either OK or AR, although driving 5 miles to get lunch DOES seem pretty far right now so I am no judge of distance
