Well no, lucky break this time! I'm a part time employee for this company instead of a contractor even though I work from home. I don't know why they preferred it that way but I'm glad now.

Your current UI isn't being paid by your current employer, though. You paid that at your last self-employed job and now get to draw on that, right?
It's a combination of this job and the wages I earned in Florida. Even though I'm still employed there are no projects and I'm not receiving a paycheck, so I am eligible for UI.

In the future, the Berlin wall will be a mile high, and made of steel. You too will be made to crawl, to lick children's blood from jackboots. There will be no creativity, only productivity. Instead of love there will be fear and distrust, instead of surrender there will be submission. Contact will be replaced with isolation, and joy with shame. Hope will cease to exist as a concept. The Earth will be covered with steel and concrete. There will be an electronic policeman in every head. Your children will be born in chains, live only to serve, and die in anguish and ignorance.
The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference.
I fixed the boiler! I have hot water again!
Keep on keepin' the beat alive!
Good, take a shower.
We're stuck in a bloody snowglobe.
I've taken cold showers before. They are unpleasant.

It's 2am, and I am eating Chinese!
I love night shifts.
And hungry co-workers
How do you expect to run with the wolves at night when you spend all day sparring with the puppies?

LOL. Though I miss the old die-cast metal Transformers from the Generation 1.
So, after a bad day with my little girl scratching her eye, and now having to start her on Zantac for her reflux, I was pretty upset.
Well, she was all smiles this afternoon. She can brighten my day with that toothless grin.![]()
these new transformers are garbage. One is already broken, and the other is showing stress marks at the joints, they are not fun at all when transforming them.No wonder they couldn't sell them all at the MSRP of $10.
scarlett used to scratch herself real bad. No matter how often we clipped those nails. Mittens were a must
She also used to spit up real bad, we were burping her every couple of oz of formula, but that didn't matter. Doctor said to start making the formula heavier by mixing in cereal, and the spit up dissappeared almost completely.
Those mittens work great. Unless they're a thumb-sucker.
Cat, if you're nursing, try eliminating onions, garlic, cucumber etc from your diet. Some women even find drinking cow's milk can cause the urpies for their babies.
I'm no longer nursing. I couldn't keep up with her appetite.
And she hates mittens...I've got to be more vigilant about the nail clipping.
We were approved by the rental agency and are going to be moving into a house within the next week. No more annoying neighbors yay! Now I just have to deal with annoying roommates' kids yay!
My sugar-mama's left me a rose and a large chunk of the most delicious carrot-cake I've ever hadwalnuts in the cake, and LOTS of delicious lemony cream-cheese frosting on top
now cake and tea. This day is a most worthy sequel to a most perfect night, even though there seems to be rain and thunder ahead

I'm so happy; the meds are working and I have a happy baby again.She's not screaming anymore, and the Zantac is making feeding so much easier and less frantic.

Your stuffies sneak out of the house and steal hot stuff when you aren't looking.
And all mine do is turn on the television.![]()

My mother gave Buddy Boy a brass camel. She has no clue where it came from, but it was on one of the gazillion bookshelves in her home office. He is absolutely delighted with it (and the book of Keats poetry he snagged).
It always amazes me how easy it is to thrill my kids.
I collected a couple of shelves worth of books she was getting rid of - mostly women's and civil rights movement stuff, but a few biographies as well.
And a library book of mine that was due in 1984. I won't be returning it.![]()

Three months yesterday... I made a whole roasted chicken on a bed of various veggies, with a sauce made from crème fraiche and feta cheese and olives and capers and lime, lots of fresh thyme everywhere, fresh cold mint-flavoured water, a half-decent movie, and then oh what a night what a night! : and for once I am NOT TIRED!! SUNSHINE!!! sunday![]()
