Maybe. (I had my fingers crossed.)

We finally, sort of, solved the problem. But, we forgot to break for lunch. I forgot to bring lunch. And I am very hungry. So I am sitting here, stuffing down Cheese Nips and tap water.

For the past week, we have been so focused on fixing the software problems that virtually nothing else has gotten done. Problem somewhat aside, my eyes have affixed on the growing mound of child support papers, unemployment, filing and voided checks.

At this point, my eyes have glazed over and I am stuffing in crackers as fast as I can. I look like a cheeky chipmunk. With such full cheeks, I cannot answer the phone and my hands are far too busy to actually get anything done.

With all the exertion, I am growing a bit feverish (that, and the air isn't on) so I swig down some lukewarm tap water. My eyes are growing beadier by the minute. The life of a chipmunk isn't easier.


But the life of a chipmunk in a hell hole is much harder, I can assure you.
