we have a visitor

Rich and I did some yard work today and were all ready to wage ware on our apple tree that is so gross this time of year, until we found this.

So we just trimmed a few limbs and left the rest for next year.

Somehow reading how everyone else also had a shitty day actually does make me feel better about mine. I have so many cool things to update everyone on, but just can't quite muster it today. There's even a podcast ripe for posting, but I lack the energy to edit it. The good news is that Isis' stitches come out tomorrow. She even used her scratchy disc with her other front paw!

I'm mailing them a book of e.e. cummings poetry

"Hi, please see my replies below in caps"- two different folks we've done tech support for this week

THE CAPS LOCK IS NOT A WAY TO DENOTE YOUR TEXT IN LINE WITH MY TEXT. IT'S A WAY TO RAISE THE BLOOD PRESSURE OF THE PERSON TRYING TO HELP YOU. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT THE PARAGRAPH SAYS, THAT MANY CAPITAL LETTERS IN ONE CHUNK MAKES MY EYEBALLS TWITCH AND I CAN'T EVEN BEAR TO READ THE SENTENCES EXCEPT IN VERY SMALL DOSES SO IT ONLY SLOWS THE RESPONSE TIME OF WHATEVER YOUR QUESTION WAS ABOUT WEB PAGES OR CUSTOMIZATION KEYS. IT'S EVEN WORSE WHEN THERE ARE SENTENCES WITHIN THE PARAGRAPH WITH PHRASES LIKE "I DON'T UNDERSTAND" OR "PLEASE LET ME KNOW". THE ONLY TWO WORDS I CAN BEAR TO SEE THAT LARGE ARE

THANK YOU
