Things

 - By late last week I realized that I had done something horrible to my neck, and spent Thursday and Friday in excruciating, grinding pain. (I broke out the hoarded stash of Really Good pain meds.) Thankfully my chiropractor had an opening on Saturday; 10 minutes and a bunch of clicks, pops, and cracks, the pain went away and I felt kinda lightheaded from the rush of it all. (Yes, I know chiropractors are a very divisive topic. I trust mine.)

- Because the chiro appointment meant we were in Seattle, we hung out with minim and family! The goddaughter will be 18 in just over a month, and I am unnerved by that notion. The passage of time freaks me out. A conversation with the goddaughter:

"Are you going to go to prom?"
"Yeah, me and a bunch of friends are going together".
"Do you want me to help you find a dress?"
"YEAH!"

As the kid is deep into 2000s scene kid fashion and she's always loved My Chemical Romance (we raised her right), I'm going to see if I can track down a dress similar to the one from the "Helena" video. 

- The old house will be on the market soon! THANK G-D. Fingers crossed it sells quickly, and for a high amount.
