I hadn't had enough caffeine to spell caffeine. But I'm okay now.

*blushes* Actually... as I was going through my files to throw some unneeded ones away before the move I found my newish laptop came with the software for free and I just never installed it... Good news? I also found I have 4 years free McAffee AntiVirus...

Not that you're of an age where "geriatric" is an appropriate adjective.

Thanks. He's cuter (and probably smiling like a total dork reading this).

Aww <3 It must be wonderful to have him up there.
You do learn a lot, one of the most important being the value of time together. I'll never take my time with BW for granted. Hopefully he'll be here soon. The hardest part is feeling like we have no control about whether we're together or not.

![]() And I often substitute words for other words when I can't remember how to spell or pronounce them. Sometimes when I don't know the correct way to say something in Japanese I just pick words I *do* know and put them together. Apparently you can't always do that, though. Things don't always go together the same way to get the same meaning as they do in English. But I'm always: "meh, close enough" ![]() And now I am falling asleep. I either need caffeine or...beer.And also, I just made my characters speak Spanglish. |

It's just that sometimes I don't always know the right verbs.
So I say "do" whatever the noun is. "Did you do your food?" instead of "did you eat?" for example. See... It's close, right?

104 here today. About the same yesterday and the day before. Expected to be at or above 100 until at least Sunday when it cools down to an amazing 99.
Thank Dawg for air conditioned offices, bars, and apartments. I really need to get the AC in my car fixed though (riding in 100+ degree temps with the windows rolled down and the car heater on (because the cooling fan, which must be manually connected direct to the battery, isn't quite doing the job either) is no fun. I need a new car... (scheduled for later this year or early next) |
