Okay, it's Mailout Thursday...

...so I have some mailing out to do, and then have to zip over to Reba's work and pick up Oldest to haul her over to the hospital for her orientation. Lots of zipping will surely follow.

I think I've mentioned it, but Oldest managed to get herself accepted as a volunteer at two different hospitals this summer, and has been helping Reba do filing at her work. I keep hoping that actual hard labor will make her understand a bit more about how the real world works. The fact that she's not getting paid aside.

So far, it seems only to have made her tired and petulant, as opposed to the more usual mode of well-rested and petulant. At least she's tired for real and from doing good things, instead of the fake weariness she would affect after a long day of playing video games in her bed.

Anyway, time to stuff envelopes!
