We engaged in small talk for a few minutes. How has your week been? Has school been going okay? What about work? Yeah, it’s pretty much the same at the hospital. What about the supermarket? You think you’re getting carpal tunnel from the scanning?? Are you and your suite-mate getting along okay? Yada yada yada. [...]

Sunday After I did my post last night, I backed everything up and upgraded WordPress. I wish it was as easy to upgrade the forum. So…I was up later than usual again and Twinkle let me know I wasn’t supposed to stay in bed. I ignored her for an hour or so and opened the [...]

Well, sort of, anyway. DD had gone from living at home to academy to college (with intervening months at home) to college in Spain to living with DS1 and family then back to college. There was never a time when she was truly her own boss. She was either under the “rule” of a family [...]

Sunday I got up earlier than I’d planned but later than I do through the week. Before too long, I had a load of laundry in the wash and had done all of my routine well before DD called. She called closer to the usual time than she has since they’ve been in the PNW. [...]

I’d called the dealership and made one last request. I didn’t want a stripe down the side of the car. I’d seen too many cars with a few years on them suffer from stripe fatigue. I was informed that the stripes had already been applied but since they hadn’t been on long, they could be [...]
