Man, my parents in therapy is kinda exhausting. Mom is defensive and holding back. Dad wants to just tell stories about he doesn't get bothered by anything and really he has no issues. They are both so worried about putting stuff out there in the open. UGH.

A company named Liquidmetal Technologies has entered into an exclusive licensing agreement with Apple for its "amorphous" metal alloy technology.

Well if Apple is gonna turn into Skynet then maybe we don't need to be as worried.

Unless that's what they want us to think....

Enjoy a writing experience that is uninterrupted and hassle-free.

Would that I could, Sharpie. Would that I could.

I've never had therapy but I have to have a psych eval before scheduling my surgery. I worry that I might do the "start telling myriads of stories to avoid talking about important things" thing. I love to talk about myself, just not necessarily about what really matters.

Would it help if they had some sessions without you there, msbelle?

I was going to say, if the focus is mac, and ways for the family as a whole to deal with him, maybe she's worried about hurting you.

Yeah, it's a process- it's unfortunate because you are so far ahead of them with the therapeutic self-awareness, I can understand how frustrating it is.

They will get there, I am sure- it sounds like they WANT to, it will just take some time. In the meantime, though, I share your UGH.

Since I am so far behind in Bitches due to being away this weekend, I will send belated CONGRATS TO NORA!!!!

That's WICKED awesome news!

So I'm currently without my car. I was parked off to the side of the driveway at my brothers, and he and his wife were going to breakfast and backed up to turn his truck around so he can go out head first, like he usually does. And forgot I was there. Ooops.

The car is driveable, but I left it in Maine (a friend of mine from home who also lives in MA happened to be up there for the weekend as well) because the reputation of a guy there who does body work is superlative, and I haven't a clue who I'd have gone to down here for that. My brother got the estimate and he'll take care of getting it all squared away.

Unfortunately, they can't fit the work in until the week of the 30th, so I'm not sure what to do: go carless until Labor Day, or go up sometime in the next week or so, drive back to MA and then drive up again the weekend before the 30th. I don't absolultely need to car that I can forsee, but I wouldn't mind having it back. However, if I do that I'll need to go up three times at this point, wheras if I wait it out I'll just need to go up once. Hmm.

Last night, I mixed up a big salad for today's lunch, with three different CSA ingredients that I needed to use up, which made me feel all efficient and planny and not-wasteful and all sorts of other good things.

Sadly, all the \\o/ in the world aren't going to change the fact that it's still a salad.
