~We are generally getting our asses kicked in a variety of ways (of which I am no longer at liberty to discuss). There is hope, but every day it seems we get another piece of bad news regarding things coffee. Or maybe not. See, that's how it's going. Like a monstrous Universal bait and switch. It's exhausting. We will prevail.
~Ed is at a concert for the weekend. I'm glad. He's needs some carefree moments. So do I.
~Therapy consultation today was validating, gratifying, encouraging, and comforting. We both met with J's therapist. I'm glad I went, I was totally bratty about having to go, but it was good for both of us.
~Scrapbook party (not a scrapbooking party, but a party where you buy scrap book/craft supplies) last night was much fun. Deb was very patient with Lisa and I and her rowdy relatives. We were an unruly bunch, except for my sister. She was practically perfectly behaved in (almost) every way, I would have worried if she'd been otherwise. We made some cute crafts and I got some good ideas. The stuff to buy is adorable and well... crafty, but easy for the craft-challenged. I bought some paper and some rub on letters/graphics (to put on photo frame glass, etc). There was a bunch of stuff I'd love to have, but it wasn't cheap. The paper is beautiful and I will save it for a thoughtful project of some kind. Beyond all that, seeing Deb again was great. She looks good and she is so easy to talk to. I highly recommend her company.
~I've added another strawberry plant and an eggplant to the garden in my yard (where I first started gardening several years ago, but left barren for the most part the past two years). Something has to thrive in this patch of dirt, but I've yet to find it. Eggplant is new to me, so I planted just one. I like it, and Ed's parent's like it, so if I get enough for a few pans of parmesan I'll be happy. I have four extra tomato plants that I cannot fit in the jacuzzi and I cannot justify sacrificing to the ground, they just don't flourish and they get horn worms right off the bat. I'm going to stealthily plant them in my in-law's backyard.
~The pansies I planted last week (or was it the week before last?) are looking as lovely as I had hoped. They should be downright glorious by the time they are fully spread. I like to say "pansy."
~Yes, I am as braindead as I seem. No energy for proofreading, please pardon.

I'm chuckling as I visualize you sneaking in under cover of darkness with your trowel.
