Gentle readers, I've been sick on and off for the past few weeks. Mostly on, and not severely so, but enough to slow me down. I think I missed wishing about five people happy birthdays, and if you're one of them, I apologize and hope you had a wonderful day ( Read more... )

I was pretty sure I *hadn't paid it, but it looked like there was an odd amount paid, and the total said zero. I finally went into the payments history and ( Read more... )

When I come home, open a package, head upstairs to use the bathroom, realize that my Leatherman is missing from it's pouch, freak out because I've left it at a client's in the city AGAIN, go downstairs to call the office and ask them to set it aside, and (before making the call), see the Leatherman sitting on the table by the mail, with the blade I ( Read more... )
