Yeah, I had a great day at work, but then I came home… My parents’ divorce is getting worse. My mother is royally fucking over my dad (who my sister and I live with.) My dad feels terrible. I really don’t know what’s going to happen. I hope my dad won’t lose his job over all this. Who knows what will happen. ---

Awwww, sorry about that, **Midget**. Make sure he’s got a decent attorney and try to roll with the punches. And let us and your coworkers and friends distract you. Hope the Bubbster is better soon, **Sticky**. We have a new baby in the family, yay! He’s my oldest cousin’s grandson. The first picture is hilarious. His Dad looks all proud and he just looks like he’s surprised at having been born. Hugs all. GT ---

Thanks, **gardentraveler.** > [@gardentraveler](#): > > … > > We have a new baby in the family, yay! He’s my oldest cousin’s grandson. The first picture is hilarious.

Some of my friends get excited. Then, I post a picture of the “new baby” - and it turns out to be a newly-bought musical instrument. 😉 Real babies are cool too, though. 🙂 Glad to hear the news **gardentraveler.** ---

I’m sorry things are so rough at home, **Emily.** I hope the pup is feeling better,\*\* Sticky.\*\* Congrats on the new addition to the family, **gt.** I have laugh at an ad I saw on television just a bit ago. Ted Nugent is playing at a local casino. When I think about the venues he used to play it just cracks me up. One more day of work… ---

I hope my dad won’t lose his job over all this. Who knows what will happen. I didn’t fear losing my job in divorce number two, just losing money. Given what happened later, I should have stood my ground and refused to agree to her outrageous demands. The judge, while prejudiced towards women, just wanted to get it over with so that she could go screw someone else. Could you go to court and testify that your Mother is fibbing? ---

Sometimes I like to go from bottom to top in the MMP. The change of pace is refreshing. Anyone else like to do that? Reading threads from the bottom up can be quite the guessing game: What just happened? Why? And my favorite, where the heck did _that_ come from…? 😃 Good Early Morning, all. Up way too early with !@#$ random leg cramps again. Going in da hot tub shortly (coming up to temp as I tap away) to help knock them back. Docs been no help here - they offer meds, but they don’t work for me. Other than that minor complaint, (we seem to have a lot of Mumper misery lately ☹ ) things are OK here in the fortress. Irk much later today (12-9) so tub, then grub, then a return to bed until irk time. Have a great Firday everyone, and enjoy the long weekend if you have one! ---

Broken bit of car has been identified as the suspension spring. Car is off to the mender’s on Wednesday and until then I will be pottering around on public transport to get to my friend’s house as I’m feeding her three cats until Monday. ---

Morning, everyone! Up, caffeinating, and waiting around to get on the road. Roomie was supposed to work this morning, but managed to bargain it down to staying home and on-call until 10:00, and then we can leave. So far this morning, I’ve made sure the cats are fed and watered for the weekend, scooped the litter boxes, taken a load of stuff out to the car (which I also have cleaned), packed the last of my stuff, unpacked my laptop so I could check the Dope, assembled garbage to be taken downstairs before we leave, and given myself a mani/pedi. Now I’m just sitting around and waiting. I should have more coffee. **Midget** , I’m sorry things are so complicated. I hope everything works out and your family can come to some kind of compromise. I had other things to say to other people, but I totally forgot them because Roomie is watching _Bones_ and I got sucked in for a second. ☹ ---
