Oh man, Steph -- that is Too Many Funerals. I mean, there's getting older, and then there's ridiculous.

Good luck, Mr. Dana!!

I am seriously crossing fingers for Dana in Nashville.

Holy cow, Tep. That is too much.

Good for your brother. Hope this therapist is a good match.

That's scary, Zen, but diabetes is totally something that can be well-controlled. Good on you for getting serious.

I would like to announce that I have ADULTED LIKE A MOTHERFUCKING ADULT today. My big nonprofit report was due (ok, was due after an extension) and I expected to turn it in right around midnight like I always do. Except that the online filer I use has decided to move its deadline up so it doesn't get screwed over by people like me. So I then expected to turn it in at 5pm. Only while I was getting my hair cut, I realized they meant 5 eastern, which is two hours ahead of me. So I turned it in at 3pm, a full 9 hours before I was expecting to! Yes, yes, I know, but small victories.

In other news, can we do another round of "what's going on with liese's eyebrows?" How's this version? [link]

And if you're just there for the haircut, here's the other angle. [link]

I'm glad you are watching your numbers, Zen. I hope it doesn't add to your stress.

Good job, Liese! Like the brows, love the cut.

It's self-eval time, apparently. Yay. It'll be fine, it always is, but I hate doing them.

Argh. When I send an email saying" Do we have enough widgets for this purpose?" I expect the answer to include "yes we do" or "no we don't" SOMEWHERE even if it goes off on a tangent of whether we have already charged for the widgets and reassurances that non-widget issues have been dealt with. That's why I'm asking about the widgets! Answer me!

Widgets, widgets, widgets. I remember taking an economics class and one person just not being able to comprehend that a widget was a representative term, not an actual thing. Yes, for that whole class, that is what I remember.

CJ is back amoung the living. Pedialite and saltines!! His car - not so much so. It looks to need a new motor. It is an old car to begin with, so looks like he will need a new (to him) car. Not sure with what money, but I'm gonna be Scarlett O'Hara and not worry about it today.

Oh, I meant to say before, poor CJ. Car stress sucks and those strong physical reactions to stress are no picnic.

And that is close enough to a full days' work for today. More orange juice and maybe a nap for me.

• Love* those brows for you, Liese! I like the hair on you, too. I'm way too twitchy to deal with my own hair that asymmetrical, but I admire it on other people.

Steph, that is officially Too Many Funerals in too short a time.

And poor CJ. I hope both he and the situation improve.

'Suela, cups are the most frequently broken pieces in a china set. Lots of people buy double the number of cups for that reason--like buying double teaspoons since those always seem to go missing more than forks or knives. Well, the people who buy china and use it often, that is. I'm kind of fond of putting together compatible pieces found at thrift stores and yard sales. To me it's more fun than buying sets of things. My grandmother and the ladies auxiliary would squint at my table, I'm sure.

Those are killer brows, Liese! And go you, submitting all early!

Here's hoping Nashville gives you the green light, Dana.

Eyebrows and hair are on point, Liese!!!
