DGma, you go right ahead and vent and we'll go right ahead and send virtual hugs to you and yours. That's what friends are for.

Desertgrandma, I know how that anxiety can send you up and down and all over the place while trying to make it through the day.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and yours.

This is not a rant but a rant roundabout. I finally left the sanding department for the assembly department. I've been teamed up with a very good young "ebeniste". He'll be my coach... fer now!
He's really good and accurate, you know, the type that counts fly specks! I can't see them anymore but I can feel them and do them meself...

ARGH! My backup drive is in the middle of dying. Fortuitously, I bought a new one today because the old one was running out of space. Less fortuitously, I can't actually move my old backups onto it. I also can't repair it.

It's a Mac, otherwise I might be tempted (D'you think the taxi driver at Texas airport would know how to get to Ricky just by the description of "the wonderful and mad cat lady who's good with computers and also a lawyer"?)

An ebeniste is a cabinet maker specialized in wood veneers, one of the toughest arts to master. I think I will if they keep the leash as long as it is and maybe a tad longer.

btw Glad to see your face sweetie, I miss you. Give him love, you both need it, lots of it!

When the production manager brought us together in a small meeting, he told us he wanted us to be THE super team. I am quite sure we will be. That kid has it and me too. I gave them a good proof on friday of what an experienced guy like me could do. They were mystified and amazed.
