Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

This day is a most Epic day! Happy birthday to EpicTangent! May the day be filled with love and treats. May this year return you to good health so that you can fully celebrate next year.

Thank you! I will take those good wishes!

I did not have yesterday off; in fact, it was my first day back to work post-surgery. My laptop decided it couldn't connect to my wi-fi properly (despite the fact that I purposely turned everything on & logged in to everything on Saturday night to ensure that I would be able to start Monday morning without a hitch. *sigh* Best laid plans...) and it was a solid 3 and a half to 4 hours before I happened on the one IT guy who recognized the problem and knew how to fix it. But it was 3 and a half to four hours where I was getting paid to watch Friends re-runs while IT tried to figure stuff out, so not that much of a hardship from my end.

Congrats on your return to work, askye! I hope things continue to improve for you.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Landis, our contractor, is hauling away the mountain of junk the previous owners left behind. A huge amount in the attic.

Ultimately, the husband who left his wife and kids after she got MS, did not bother to clean up his stuff as promised. And she just had a major MS exacerbation dealing with everything at the end and walked away.

Soooo....Landis and his very big pickup truck are hauling things to the dump.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh no, I'm so sorry, Maria. Terrible news.
