Yay for assisted living! Boo for falling down and head wacking!
I always think I want a Corgi but I think the truth is that I just want Ein the data dog, from Cowboy Bebop.
Me too.
Home schooling? You know, it's not just for scary religious people anymore.

Is it like the B vitamin flush? I've had mini-hot flashes, but nothing so severe as described.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Thank god he's in assisted living with an emergency call button.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"
Amy, I think they are different for everyone. Mom has to start taking off layers and turning on fans. Mine have been really mild and usually just turn my cheeks red, like a flush. We heard them called Power Surges somewhere so that's our name for them. I've only had what you described once. It's just a continual surprise, but after a year, mine have kind of tapered off, if that helps.

So far today, I have been thwarted every time I try to do something, by circumstances outside of my control.
Mouse for the ops machine? Still missing.
Finally get (an old, crappy) mouse, FedEx website won't process shipment.
Finally get shipment to process (fiddle new step- click the teeny update button below the checkbox you just checked before you hit the submit WHAT THE FUCKING HELL FEDEX?!)
AND THE MOTHERFUCKING PC REBOOTS.
Fine.
Someone was supposed to bring me a new mouse.
No new mouse.
Permissions are wrong on a directory tree that I can't change, that I gave explicit instruction on last week.
It's crossed over into comedic.
But I'm getting jack shit done on account of this bullshit.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Why are the tvs in public areas almost always turned to Fox? Or whatever channel shows Judge Judy and her ilk?

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Oh, Suela, I'm sorry. I hope your dad is ok

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
All possible vibes to your dad, Suela. And to you and better job prospects, and the decline and fall of your Nemesis (preferably non-physically-harmful, but good and humbling).
