Ouch, Hil. I'm sorry for the pain rebounding on you.
Do you see any goats around? No, because I sacrificed them.

Trust my rage
My morning:
Joe and I spend an hour (seriously) discussing whether we pay out of pocket to ship our car to the east coast (faster and we have access to our car while out there) or send it to Dallas to get in August. (eta: it took so long because there are lots of pros and cons but I'm too tired of thinking about them to type them out.)
Then we find out that the three weeks we are in DC, we (the kids and I) can't stay in the place Joe is staying in because he will be sharing a bathroom. They might let us have both rooms sharing the bathroom, but only if there is space available. Not sure when we will resolve this.
Joe gets a call that some thugs? terrorists? attacked their night guard with a machete last night at 3am, sending the poor elderly man to the hospital. The criminals left a bag of molotov cocktails behind. No one else was hurt but the guards arm and hand were cut up pretty bad.
Is it too early for me to be eating ice cream? Because I feel exhausted.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Ice Cream seems necessary at this point.

I think the ice cream is definitely well-deserved, Stephanie.
Pain-management~ma, Hil.
Academic-program~ma, Shir!
I'm starting to get paranoid about my travel plans. Maybe I should camp out at the airport Thursday night to make sure all goes well with my flight on Friday. Eep!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Never too early to ice cream.
Luck to Shir.
Pain relief to Hil.
Sail, me too. I'm terrified that I'm going to oversleep Friday morning.
Uggh, work. Why?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Ice cream is a valid response.

I wouldn't have bought parsnips if I didn't have some plan for them.
Good Eats just had a full episode devoted to the parsnip!
Pearsnip sauce (like applesauce, only with parsnips!)

Stephanie, have all the ice cream you want.
{{{Hil}}} I'm sorry you're in pain again.
