Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Great problems call for Graeter solutions, Tep.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Great problems call for Graeter solutions, Tep.

(1) True! and (2) Well played. (Plus we only have Halo Top in the freezer, for Tim, which I don't begrudge because limiting his sugar helps his RA pain, but I don't care for Halo Top. At least he knows I'll never steal it.)

Me today:

breathe

Breathe

BREATHE

GD IT BREATHE MFer!

Which is to say Mac is not being great about responding to texts and my cousin is set to show up tomorrow to god knows what to pack up a trailer of stuff to storage and then Mac is to be on a plane the next morning. And if that actually happens I’m going to be shocked.

Our wings are not tired

My most positive thoughts being sent in the direction of both you and Mac and everyone trying to help. That's a lot.

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

C'mon, Mac! It's hard enough arranging a move long distance. You've got to stay in touch.

Our contractor, Landis, is here and we went over the lengthy "punch list" of things that need to be done which got put off because of the window restoration. The exciting news is that he expects all four new light fixtures can go in today, plus removing one door and a chin-up bar in my office doorway (which used to be a middle-teen's bedroom). Maybe some plaster repair in the stairwell and securing some cables too. Getting the mirror back on the vanity might be trickier.

Landis' response to every request: "No problem!"

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Calm~ma, msbelle.

Tons of ice cream for Teppy.

I’m sorting through ltc’s clothes. So I can bring hand me downs to vw’s Stitch tomorrow. TCG is culling ltc’s books while she’s not here to freak out about it.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oof, Tep. Well, at least you know the situation. Aside from the hallucinations tapping his phone (which is bad enough), youd dad having important things he can't tell you is ominous and disturbing.

{{msbelle}} yes with the breathing, keep that up

Sending a wide and expansive set of ~ma to Teppy and msbelle. Kids! Parents!

Woot! Have to celebrate each thing done.

What are the plans for the long weekend?

I'm going to have to do a lot of work, but really hope to get some play time in. At least catching up on some tv or something. Looks like tomorrow is supposed to be beautiful, then Sunday afternoon and Monday may be rainy. We shall see. The weather forecast here is only reliable for about 15 minutes into the future.
