Good job. In my department, we celebrate whenever students drop. The person at the end of the semester who ends up with the most drops -buys drinks for everyone else.

I titled it "Random stuff about my Dad" and it's basically a bullet-point list of things my dad did that made him who he was to me, if that makes any sense. Maybe I'm also afraid that if I let it go and send it, it means he's really gone.


It makes sense NP to want to hold on to it. I would tell her the same thing you've written here. You want her to hear it at the same time.

So I assume that means he shouldn't have texted her, right?

Not trying to be a smart aleck, but my boss asked me how do you know if the caps lock is on...I said, type and see if it comes out in all caps. And I knew it was going to sound smart alecky but she laughed and laughed like I had said the funniest thing. Kit.

Hey couchies! Hugs and head-nods all around. I have just come from grocery shopping with my girls, I am beyond frazzled. I need a drink!

Did I tell you that I bought a car? I went to insure it, paid property taxes and sales tax, title transfer and registration fees today. Then I realized why I haven't bought a car in a long time! Hopefully this one will be better than my current one, who will be getting a much-deserved vacation and only driven to haul things.

Have a good night couch!

My sleep schedule is all messed up. I can't sleep at night, so I take 25 mg of Trazodone. Then I am sleepy all day. So I think I need to stop taking the Trazodone and see if I can sleep without it.

I'm also in So. Cal. I hate our summers, but I love our winters.

Seeing T tomorrow, and I'm planning 2, possibly 3 tough topics I've been avoiding for a while. Hope it goes as well as the last issue did on Friday.

Hey couch. So, it seems I need to take a break from PC. Not because of anybody/anything here. No replies to this needed, just didn't want anybody wondering why I disappeared. I'm good, just need to go for a bit.

Hugs and headnods as appropriate... sparkly best wishes sprinkled everywhere. (Yes, even on your wing chair, sd.)

Until I return and y'all know I will I always do, I am, your Artie....

Aw, man, Art.

Thanks for the sparkles. And for the time you drummed for the Couchies, pretty sure it worked.
