Wow, Matt.

My boss is in Paris for two weeks, and today is the first day I had nothing to do. So I napped too much (I'm working from home now), read a lot of blog posts about Trump, and watched that documentary on Scientology.

Last week was much worse. My work computer died, and my boss had to come over and bring me some install DVDs. This was the first time my boss has been to my messy apartment, and I had an hour warning. (But the experience ended up not being as bad as I feared.)

Hi People!

I am totally behind at work, and home, and life, and here. I am getting too use to that.

All right. I've eaten dinner. I have spicy chicken in the crock pot. I should get up and make a frittata. Maybe pea shoots, prosciutto, and gruyère...

I'm working from home now

Temporarily, or is this your new normal?

Temporarily, or is this your new normal?

New normal. There's just my boss and I, and he decided to save money and close the Highland Park office. He has the server in his home office and I use a VPN.

My aunt got trached today :/ Was hopeful that could be avoided but no. She's been watching my mom, but not responding. Mom hopes she's boring her with her constant chatter out of the fog. Carolyn never had any patience with boring, or not engaging.

The hospital chaplain has reached out to my mom and apparently been an awesome sounding board. No god talk around Carolyn (she don't do that) just being a place mom can voice, on her terms. I'm immensely grateful. mom doesn't need god talk either, but she needs people she can talk to and cell coverage is spotty on the OHSU mountaintop site, & her b&b a walk away.

I feel like Emmett would support me in this.

You are so correct.

CREATE tux opportunities!!

Sound advice.

Maybe pea shoots, prosciutto, and gruyère...

Yum!

Oh sara, I'm so sorry. It must be so hard for you to be so far away from them right now.

Sara, I'm thinking good thoughts for all of you. I'm glad your mom has a support person locally.

That is such a shame about the bookstore. Even accidental book burning pings me.

-t, you were curious about all the pie plates I bought. Look at the buildings in the background of this photo [link] noting the lights in the windows. Here is what the back of that looks like. [link]
