downtoearth If it makes you feel better, I'm just as annoyed by the people who keep wanting school to start so their kids can go back to school.
And I'm pretty sure no one would say the "smarter" career choice is education, vacation time aside.
I know, I'm totally irrational and jealous right now. I don't want school to start earlier or go all-year, and teachers and scientists/engineers in the environmental field should both be paid more b/c we are doing good stuff, but I really want a European model of vacation where the country shuts down for August or something and we all just accept that we need down time. Pipe dreams on beautiful days during conference calls from hell.

Thought of you guys while teaching summer school today. We were doing that activity where the sentence is wrong on the board, the kids have to correct it, and the teacher feels like she is pulling teeth because with all the hints in the world they still don't know months are capitalized...
Well the sentence was like: johns teacher are mrs smith
we get it all fixed except for the apostrophe in John's
blank faces at what I could possibly want to finish this sentence.
me: Hint, It's a kind of punctuation
kid with wild hand in the air
mr: Yes, Billy??
kid: EXCLAMATION POINT BETWEEN THE N AND THE S in Johns!!
It was all I could do not to laugh and say, No, this isn't Jeb!'s teacher
I had my last appointment with my therapist for awhile. It makes me...not sad, but kind of mopey. She and I connect really well, and not knowing when I'll talk to her again feels kind of weird. But I'm at a good place with my grief, using my tools, etc., and I really don't need her right now. It's a strange thing to describe.
I came to the realization that I tend to be the glue in my friendships with more than 1 person. And it makes me want to not be that person in my new community, which is kind of freeing, but feels a little selfish.
I'm just full of psycho-babble bullshit today, I think.
Disagree. It's what I was told to use in between ER visits. I ended up coming back and getting morphine. Then upping it to dilaudid because morphine wasn't enough.
I may also be soured on it because it's the military go-to drug. Sprained your ankle? Sore throat? Puking? In labor? Limb blown off?

I hear you. It's like losing a friend. But it's also a graduation. And the loss of a support. It's such a mindfuck.
To pull in my own psycho-babble, maybe you can think of being velcro instead of glue. Velcro only works if there's a complementary opposite, equally willing.

I'm only partly kidding.
That is so true about the military and ibuprofen! DH and I are on Tricare Prime, and were recently made to switch our PCM from a civilian provider to one at the naval hospital. That really pisses me off, because why do I even need a doctor when I can wave a bag (not a bottle, they didn't dispense the pills in bottles) of Motrin over my injury all by myself.
I'm in another Awbrey Daniels based training. I am so annoyed with this guy.
The hybrid is the Audi Q5.
the ones I like the look of more are the Nissan Murano and the Acura MDX.
I had better not get any SUV shit in here. We have a boat and a lake house that we have to haul shit to like power tools every weekend for half the year.
I have a white Q5, but not the hybrid. It's hot as balls here in the summer; you will not regret white.

we used to joke that our on campus clinic at college was like this too. It didn't matter what you went in for, you always got ibuprofen. Also aleve is much better.

Tell me about your car. What year? Do you love it? Sell me on it.

It's a 2010 3.2. I had a 2004 Allroad before this, so while I got a taller car, I lost cargo space. I told DH what I liked about the Allroad, and he looked at a Q5, Mazda CX-5, Porsche Cayenne, and Lexus LX350. Ultimately, it came down to I wanted another Audi. I wanted something with power that I could drive in the mountains for work without too much effort (I often travel to Telluride and Aspen.) I lost the twin turbo, but the overall horsepower is comperable. I can still fit a good bit of stuff inside, and two people could sit comfortably in the back for in-town driving with a bucket seat. It doesn't have navigation or backup sensors, but I don't need/want that stuff. It's fun to drive and comfortable. I was fine riding 100 miles in the car at 36 weeks PG. IMO, it's just a good European luxury car. Just get the bigger engine. :-) ETA: we also looked at the MDX. We still got the Audi.

And this is why I married him. H fixed the air. It's temporary but at least it's working for now. Air conditioner person will be called in the am. Fingers crossed the air lasts through the night.

I can't do the hard shit. The ER gave me vicodin for a sprained ankle several years ago. I took it once before bed that evening and swore off it the next morning, the side effects and hangover were so bad.
Old Nyquil made me hallucinate.
I will be so, so sad when my prescription ibuprofen runs out.
