Need to look up "recalcitrant". Hope it's not something too embarrassing. Last two weeks were very good. I read. I knit. I watched tv. I went shopping. No grocery shopping, the real thing. Beautiful. Work again tomorrow. Not so beautiful, but not that bad either. Boring, mostly. Car is back home and running. They even washed and cleaned it. Excellent service. Should break something more often. Ipod also works again. Yes, kids, sometimes violence is the answer. Of course all music's gone and the battery is dead so I can't take it off the dock, but whatever. hmmmm... title seems to be too long. It should be "fate", but I guess any noun will do. All. Need to take beer out of freezer now.
