a fifty-something under-tall half-deaf school librarian in the jersey suburbs with two grown kids and time on her hands

Libraries will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no libraries.

I just thought of this. If, like I do, you come from a long line of real world-class worriers, then you can do this too.

R has finally got her computer hooked up over there. I knew this because I started up my AOL instant messenger and she showed up live in my buddy list. I am very very bad at AIM, so I only ever do it with my kids. I turn on the program when I need it and turn it right off when I'm done using it.

Duh (Picture here the old "I-coulda-had-a-V8!" aha moment.) If I leave AIM on all the time, I'll know that they're both there (wherever they are) and alive and okay! As long as their away messages aren't on, they're in their rooms and living. This is so cool. I wish I figured this out a long time ago.

I don't want to bug them all the time, or even always IM with them. Just knowing is good enough. (Picture me here rubbing my hands together in fiendish glee.)

I am such a sick pup.
