I'd have done exactly what you did and had the same reaction. Don't co-opt my plan, Stan.
Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

Wow, that isn't at all petty, Vortex! I'd be more than annoyed.
In Florida. Had my nails done today. Have book club at my place tomorrow. Fly back to NY on Thursday. It's been busy.
DH is completely melting down with stress from multiple directions. I don't think he can continue in this business with me retired. I'm trying to get him to seriously consider an exit strategy. There are not a whole lot of tech companies who have been around 36 years, so I get not wanting to pull the plug, but our hearts are no longer in it. Youth and enthusiasm are history. Yes, we can invest in it and turn it around, grow it for the next generation, or position it to sell. But I just don't think he can summons the enthusiasm to make it happen. I booked a few days in a remote woodsy cabin in Maine that I hope will provide some stress relief for making decisions.

Thrive to spite them
David that sounds like a really productive day and Kyoto sounds exciting for Matilda.
Vortex I would be very pissy if that happened to me
I need some cat~ma for Mom. She brought Lovey down to get his eye removed. That went fine. But last night he got out of the E collar and disappeared somewhere in the house. And hadn't been seen since. Mom can't really look for him because of her knees . I offered to drive up and find him but she said a friend was going to come over. But said friend had surprise company and her other friends all have similar bending down limitations.
He did this after his first surgery and showed up and was fine. So I'm hoping tomorrow he finally gets hungry and shows up.
On the other hand M's toe is healing. It still seems oozy a little but not much and we are down to non stick bandage and gauze to cover it. He still has to be careful when he is moving around
We were supposed to go to the VA for him to get X-rays for his back today but it was pouring down rain this morning and neither of us wanted to deal with the logistics of keeping his foot dry.
I also ended up having a bowl of rice plus protein plus additions for dinner last night , lunch and dinner tonight. Last night was supposed to be tacos with rice as a side but work was really loud and annoying and I came home and told M I wanted "comfort food bowl and small fork dinner".

Not the restaurant I know but sounds amazing!

Punishingly Intricate
That would totally piss me off, Vortex! Also that place sounds amazing so please report back in detail!
I smashed my wee baby toe yesterday and I really should have iced it right away. It looks horrible (& hurts but I don’t think it’s broken, not that there would be much to do with it if it was)

Ouch, sorry about the baby toe! They do hurt so.
Don't tell her, but why don't a bunch of us surprise F2F with Vortex at the restaurant? The menu looks good. I'm sure they will make room for a cool Buffiasta group. (kiss kiss)
And yes, we want a full report of the experience, Vortex!
