Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

Even when you fully expect everything to be fine the wait can be a little nerve wracking.

Definitely. Thanks, everyone.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Great news, Kate!

And once again, posting makes it happen!

If that's so....

Where's my new job? And where's the missing equity on the house that would allow me to sell it without taking a bath?

C'mon, work your magic!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Ha ha ha, someone just came by to give me something to do and in the process of explaining it determined that it couldn't actually be done right now. Awesome.

If this keeps up I'm going to have to have a cup of sugar-free cocoa just to keep myself busy for a few minutes. (Just made a cup of tea for the same reason, sipping that will keep me out of trouble for a little while...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Temp jobs are always hard for that, -t.

Hooray Kate!Mom!!!

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

So, day 4 at Disney has me sick. I was up at 3am and then every hour after that with intestinal yuck. The fam went without me today and so I still have no Epcot. sad.

I hope I can drink water without issue by dinner time and can go out with them tomorrow.

Bummer! I don't think I've heard of anybody who has traveled in the last three months who hasn't gotten very sick during or immediately after.

Aw, msbelle, sick at Disney is no fun! And missing Epcot=bummer.

I went with one of the other temps to get a free healthy snack form the company, so now I have a granola bar and tangerine to go with my tea...

damn, msbelle.

So, I had a customer service phone call about the radiology appointment I had last month. Is this a new thing? I have never in my life had a customer service phone call for any medical appointment.
