Morning!

QBABM last word enfeeble. LB nudge for magpie-everybody.

Happy solving!

Good morning!

Pangrams and above genius. Missed befell yesterday--for some strange reason I thought I'd made it to QB, so didn't check on the bee. Oh, well! That's what befalls one if one doesn't remember whether or not the puzzle was completed.

ab_grp, glad to hear that the procedure went well. Hope husband is recovering and the arrhytmias are a thing of the past.

Happy solving!

Managed 22. There's no more doubt I'll be done by the end of the month, which is a relief.

It is hot.  But the AC isnt.   Not when it is hot anyway.  When I am leaving work, and the car has been in the parking garage, it is ok, but going to work when it is hot (as I go to work after lunch), You can be almost to work and the car is still sweltering.

Today I got a can of AC juice and a gauge to put it in.  I watched 2 youtube videos and did it in about 5 minutes.  It was cooling nicely, though at this time of day it seemed to cool partially anyway.

Hopefully this fix gets me  a good way to summer (when I get a summer school check to pay for such extravagances as AC!) 

Good afternoon!

Somewhere past genius with pangrams.  Yesterday husband got to QBABH.  I needed help with anatomy, onto, onyx.

I also got the schmofficial baptize-exchange yesterday.

Langue_doc, thanks! The consult was last Tuesday, and the actual ablation procedure was today.  It has been a long day, but it sounds like it went well, so hopefully that has taken care of the arrhythmias.  They can return, though.  We had to be there at 8:30, and he should be discharged around 3:30.  I'm definitely relieved.  Playing around with the electrical goings-on is pretty dangerous, so I stayed until the procedure was done and the doc came out to tell me he was safe.  Then while he was coming out of general anesthesia I ran out to the pharmacy for his post-procedure meds and home quickly to eat lunch.  This hospital doesn't have a cafeteria! Someone could make a killing putting a diner in right by there.  And I'm so glad to hear that the caregivers at your facility were so happy to see you.  Hopefully your pain has taken a hike!

Happy solving!

I finished conference proposal reviews last week. On Friday I finally got a revise & resubmit decision on my sabbatical manuscript after waiting over 10 months for a decision. I have to get back to the chapter due 5/31 - my coauthor has not added anything yet and I only have written 1,500 words (we need 6k). I finished my summer course prep so now I need to write. My managing editor on the book asked me the status so I am feeling the heat! I have book manuscript due August 1, chapter with my spouse due August 12, and R&R due August 15. Wish me luck!

Really tired of calls dropping for no apparent reason.  Well, some of them seem to have been weather-related, but not the one that happened just now at work.

I didn't know him personally, but I know some people from Columbia State and across the state who must be devastated. This is the nightmare scenario for any study abroad program.

That's a shocking report.  Was that some kind of freak wave? 

At first I thought it might be about somebody killed in the recent flooding in Rio Grande do Sul.

Hoping for 12+ today.

MusicChoice (through Cable Provider) launched a Yacht Rock Station back in February that I just discovered last week.  Now, I am never leaving the house or going to sleep - hahahaha
