You never know if a girl's gonna say 'yes', or if she's gonna laugh in your face and pull out your still-beating heart and crush it into the ground with her heel.

Wow that’s a pretty good return on submissions Calli!

I woke up wrecked with migraine. It’s supposed to be 91 here today. I don’t want to do today. Can we start over?

Ugh, that's an ugly combination of migraine and temperature

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Some happy news here:

Mac has registered for 2 classes at a local community college. It’s been over 3 years since school was even mildly attempted.

The really good part of this good news is that he did the application, placement testing, meeting with advisors, registration…all on his own.

I just have to figure out payment/reimbursement from the 529 and it looks like I can get paid some for rent/food/utilities if he takes at least 2 classes.

He is still hoping to find part time work, but it has to be something mostly off his feet and he does not yet have office skills.

That is huge. My 33-year-old isn't functional enough to manage that. That must feel good.
