I'm glad things are looking better for you, Steph. I hope everything continues to move forward well for Tim's surgery.

I'm sorry, msbelle.

Today was pretty busy for me at work. I led a major presentation, then I'll be assisting with another one tomorrow. Then the same, two weeks from now. It's definitely my busy month.

Good stuff, Steph.

I'm sorry, msbelle.

askye, that's a lot to think about -- good luck sorting it out.

Laura, glad son is enjoying new wheels.

Very Monday here, but nothing report-worthy.

Had a great day yesterday at a brunch at a friend's house in Annapolis and then meeting a different group for dinner in DC... with a nap in-between. Good times.

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

Timelies all!

Got my car back from the body shop, finally.

Otherwise, nothing special.

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

For those of you wondering if Matilda's friend Iris was going to get her passport in time: she did. Because her parents called our local Representative, Nancy Pelosi, and then camped at the passport office at 5am and made it happen.

Iris had spent $2K of her own money (from her job at the ice cream shop) and another thousand fund raised at school for this trip, so it's a good thing she got it.

Now we just have to keep Matilda entertained through June.

Good morning and welcome to Tuesday.

Get her one of those bouncy balls attached with elastic to a paddle. I hear those are popular with The Youth. Or a set of jacks!

One summer we ran out of summer camps for Emmett and I just broke down and bought him a Gameboy in August. I think he put 80 hours on Pokemon Diamond.

I should've gone with jacks.

You get it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

More Mo Ryan, on Charisma Carpenter, and Cordelia Chase. It's a tough read. [link]

Ugh, my credit card has fraudulent charges. My bank is on top of it, which is great, but it's such a pain in the ass to have the card cancelled, wait for the new card to be sent, and then have a whole new credit card number to memorize.

Our wings are not tired.

I hope Matilda finds ways to keep herself entertained.

Ugh, credit card fraud is a super pain. Cards tied to automatic payments need to be changed and all that nonsense. Boo.
