Good morning! Early morning for me - one of the foster cats woke me up at 530 and meowed until the 620 alarm! I did check food and water, but all he wanted was out of the bedroom. Like all prior cats, he must learn that, unless it is my mistake (food, water) or a crisis, I will not cater to anyone before the alarm. On the plus side, I was wide awake when the alarm went off and made carpool in record time. Another low tire alert, so I must deal with that Saturday. Today's WTF is DPCs: one to a credit card company to check whether I have a certain benefit and another to a belly dance class to make sure it is still going on tonight. DD16 did homework while I decluttered magazines. I finished one of the cat bed repairs after she left. She does not have Monday off, I do.
Three day weekend plans: costume shop, party prep/cleanup including finishing or putting away the LR sewing projects, tire repair or replace. This is an educational site, I looked up Simchat Torah.
Both congratulations and condolences to the In-Canada family. Definitely a time of mixed emotions.
LadyMaverick: One more attitude thing, then I must get off my soapbox or risk boring, annoying, and/or offending everyone. Imagine years from now, you have received a devastating diagnosis and want to talk and DS has been taught to say, "I don't want to hear any of that negative attitude!" My friends with cancer have heard comments like that, so do people with depression. I'm not sure if the ones saying it are idiots who truly believe that cancer can be cured by positive thinking or they are selfish people who expect everyone to modify themselves to suit them. Doesn't really matter, it hurts just the same.
RamblinRose: My then grandfather-in-law maintained his driver's license until he died in his 90s despite serious vision problems. No accidents, because he had quit driving years before. He just didn't want anyone to KNOW he couldn't drive anymore and we all pretended he still did.
