Me: Huh?

me: subject: Re: western union details Diana, I think I missed the western union cut off for today. I am sorry I was busy with work. Will there be another plane tomorrow? Are you sure $500 is enough?! I can send you $8,000 to be safe. Do you think you would need more than that? Just let me know whatever you need? I am so worried about you all I care about is that you make it home safe. Hang in there. We'll get you home soon. Sent from my iPhone
For all the linguists out there that will soon be flaming me.. I’m well aware that I meant the verb “precise” and not the noun “precision”.. see how distracted I am?!
Here I am, working a complex problem set which requires intense concentration and the precise application of difficult algorithms and Autumn is distracting me by continuously playing youtube videos on DIY chicken coops..
Happy Birthday Sam!
Big Sam is two today. Spent the day celebrating his Samness. That and sawing & splitting wood. Physically exaughsted. Now to work school so I can be mentally exhausted too.
All men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of the Lord stands forever.
Late for dinner again. :( Of course it could be worse. I left @netpappy at the office to shut the place down.
