It’s been a very strange summer, as I’ve said before we’re working on a bathroom (still working on it, actually) so a bunch of our free time is used there.

There’s still lots of time, of course, and unfortunately I’ve spent a little too much of it saying “I’m tired,” or “I’m busy” or “just leave me alone.” I don’t think this is The Depression, per se, but it is probably an offshoot of it. And yeah, I’ve been tired - I haven’t been running, I haven’t been eating right, I haven’t been sleeping right, so it’s no wonder.

On the plus side, we’ve been swimming, to the movies many times, spent time together. The kids really are amazing in their ability to adapt, it’s me that has a hard time with it.

Testing a workaround for the stupid Wordpress 2.5 image uploader issues.

Plugin that disables flash used to upload / insert images.

Wordpress still pissing me off (so. fucking. slow.) so I’m going to bed. Wishing they didn’t break my existing image plugin, which was working fine, thanks.

I haven’t said much lately about our newest houseguest. Partly because I’m tired, or busy, or just don’t have anything much to say.

Unfortunately, she has come to that horrible crossroads where fixed income meet health problems and the skyrocketing cost of care. I know I’m not nearly the only one dealing with this, nor is she, and don’t want to whine or even joke too much about the situation. It’s not fair to our family, who in the next months will be making some very tough decisions.

I probably won’t say much more about all that; it’s dawning on all of us that she probably can’t go home, and it’s hard to imagine her staying here for very long. We’ll figure something out.

And, if you’ve read this far, you deserve a little Calvination.
