Good news Laura! Hopefully you, Tep, smonster and everyone else feeling poorly are on the mend and recovering quickly.
We can come by between classes. Usually I use that time to copy over my class notes with a system of different colored pens. But it's been pointed out to me that that's, you know...insane.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Happy birthday, Amyparker!

Yes, a round of good health for my friends, bartender.
I spent a good chunk of yesterday cleaning up the kitchen from xmas eve dinner. At one point the most expedient way to clean out the roasting pan, which was thoroughly and thickly covered in grease, was to drench it in Dawn and wash it in the bathtub.
I have mostly gotten the house back into some kind of order and starting to work my way through the laundry.
Matilda's godmother, Marta, will be coming by later and we'll do lunch with her and maybe make a boef bourguignon.
eta: I think I need a cleaning service. Something JZ and I had discussed before, but now that it all falls to me (with some bits of help form Matilda), it's onerous and I'm no good at dusting anyway.

Dad is in the ER again. His friend found him not able to walk because of extreme vertigo and he was confused because he apparently didn't take his meds or eat much for three days. So ND is dropping me off at the airport as I type this. Back to Florida I go.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, Pix. Best wishes.

Happy, Happy Birthday, amyparker! May it be filled with glitter and cake if such is your desire.
Hec, I have to say that we get cleaning service every two weeks, and if we had to severely tighten our belts, that would be the final "want" to get axed. It has a positive impact on my life and psyche and ability to keep the place together during the in between weeks at a super fundamental level.
I am back to work today and tomorrow, then off again on Friday (well, and holiday on Monday). Not a bad week! My ick seems to be getting better, too.

All of this.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Oh, Pix. Fingers crossed that this can be easily dealt with.
My tummy seems pretty much back to normal today, thank goodness.

Oh no Pix I’m so sorry. I hope you can get him set up somewhere he can be more taken care of. Or closer to you or something.
David I have a cleaner every other week, which is probably a bit too often (alone, every three weeks would be fine, but I set it up when a friend and her sheddy dog were staying with me) and it’s so nice. Makes me put things away and clean up so they can do the actual cleaning I hate.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh no, Pix. Good luck dealing with All of That.

I started having someone come once a month this year, and it is GREAT. (edit: once a MONTH, not once a week!)
