Done with the hospital and killing time at the hotel lobby before we head to the airport.

JZ is so tired and we won’t be walking in the door at home until 8pm or so.

Timelies all!

Had a short home visit with Mr. S this weekend. Insurance won't allow more than 72 hours of home visit time in a seven day period, so we couldn't pick him up until Sat. morning, and we just brought him back. Had the usual can't/won't go to sleep issue, but it was resolved quietly, and the rest of the time was fine.

sounds like things are going a little better, Sheryl.

I felt a great disturbance in the Force... as if millions of voices cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened.

Hope the adjustments help, David and JZ.

I've been thinking of doing this at our place! What were your thoughts? Anything you particularly liked or did not about the whole deal? Like, "Make sure to..." or something?

Re: outdoor karaoke: They had a big TV outside for us to read the lyrics off of, which was clutch -- just the laptop wouldn't have been big enough.

Do you all know that all of the karaoke tracks are on YouTube now? It's amazing!!

Hee.

I've been putting a hurting on my credit cards with all the stuff I'm buying lately--a lot of it for the trip, though some for regular life. Unfortunately for my wardrobe but fortunately for the credit cards, I will be returning quite a few things. (Got a pair of shoes that arrived today and are hideously uncomfortable, booooo. Hoping the pair coming Tuesday is v comfortable and doesn't need much breaking in??)

I cackled.

Sheryl, what is the facilities routine for Mr. S’s bedtime?

What's everyone doing this weekend?

I had my mom over for salmon burgers and a Swedenborgian theology-themed thriller/horror movie Friday night. (Jackson hopped up on the couch and let her brush his fur, so he's really losing his fear of her!) Then picked up a bunch of mulch and concrete edging stones at Lowe's Saturday, and placed the latter in the arrangement I want for my rock garden. Now to paint them and dig a trench to place them in.

My lawnmower broke a couple of weeks ago and my neighbors spooked me about code enforcement fines while waiting for the lawn service, so I went out early Sunday morning with a sharp edged metal ruler and used it as an improvised machete to cut down the tallest of the crabgrass and weeds. I would not recommend doing this without also improvising some sort of protective handle...

It was not an exciting weekend. I did some tech courses to keep up my skills, I mowed the yard, did some laundry, did some cleaning, did the cooking, went on a couple trike rides around the local lake, triked to the grocery store to do some shopping. Slipped while cleaning the bathroom and whacked my head on the edge of the sink. Even though I rationally know I have accepted a job offer, I still keep feeling depressed about being laid off and being unemployed. I can't tell my wife about that because that will just make her upset, but she is now angry at me because she says she's feeling disconnected from me. That's making me feel more down, which I can't tell her about so it's a downward spiral.
