Hello!
Dragging today. At midnight last night, I got a message from DD saying she was in a bad way and was planning to hop the next bus home. I quickly put a stop to that and told her I'd come out and get her. I was not having her ride a bus alone through some unsavory parts of town after midnight. Heck, I wasn't even thrilled with the idea of the walk from the bus stop to our house at that hour. For that matter, I was worried enough just going out to scrape off the car with the engine running to defrost it -- we've had a couple of carjackings in our neighborhood recently. But I managed to get out there and get her -- I got every traffic light green on the way, so it was barely a 20-minute drive even with driving cautiously. Got her safely home, and then it took me forever to fall asleep.
Got some wash going; need to do some shredding. The noise has me putting it off, although the kids like the shredder -- they have anthropomorphized it. It is "Omo." (Because it is from OfficeMax, and its model number is OM-0 something.) It is quite weird to see two young adults so excited over a piece of office equipment. Still putting it off due to the noise -- tell me I can do the thing! (I'm going to go give myself a pep talk.)
Perhaps the nice new desktop will encourage you to finish dealing with the paperwork, Cathy.
