Hey, guess what my department is doing? Reorganizing! Again! It's not a big change for me at this point, because I was already in an uncertain state waiting for waveforms to collapse (and still am until they hire someone above me), and I think everyone knew that duties and responsibilities were going to be shifting, but some of the who-reports-to-whom changes are catching people off guard.

Well, to be fair, it is a day that ends in "y"

ND makes an excellent point.

That is so

I suppose some day we will go more than a few weeks without reorganizing and I won't know what to do with myself

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

TMI, Dad.

I feel that way about my brother's prostrate issues but I figure body parts having issues are just part of life at this point. So I've been working on getting rid of the oddness and just accepting that bodies are made of parts, and they aren't scandalous. It's a work in progress.

We had 35 feet of fencing come completely down in storms and today all of the materials we needed to replace the section in the same design as the other three sides (it was a plain wood fence that was already in place previously) were in. Two trips to Tetris the wood and wire mesh into small cars. With a bonus trip to Home Depot to get more screws. I was so focused on getting the right wood that we missed checking screws. So hopefully by Monday, we will be able to let Shelby pup out for more than supervising the construction.

Reorganizing! That's what we need to do more often!

Yes, we measure the complexity of the project by how many trips we end up making to the hardware store. I hope Shelby is at least enjoying the supervising.

Yay on a firm date, Epic!

Here's hoping all goes well with your dad's biopsy, Sheryl.

A chunk of the porcelain on my crown broke off the other night, causing me to wonder what was crunchy and hard in my cup of minute rice. Fortunately the interior metal cap remains, so no exposed tooth, no eating restrictions, and no pain other than in the wallet. And hey, I now have a gold tooth (well, white gold) until I can get a replacement temporary crown in a few weeks!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So glad you finally have a surgery date, Epic!!

There is no such thing as taking a single trip to Home Depot. There is always a followup trip.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Quiet here today...
