Hi all! I'm miserable and exhausted, but I'm very glad that the first thing I always see when I come home is Teppy.

I am VERY jealous of the SA having. I got a postcard from her today too! I can't wait to see her live and in person for myself. There will be a hugging, I can tell you. Much healthma to SA.

Yay! I'm glad the postcard arrived.

I miss you too, Nora! I'm mostly done with the big project, just a few fixes, and then a couple of other projects that should be smaller, so hopefully I'm done with being absent for days on end. {{{Nora}}}

{{Allya'lls}}} thanks for the cheers! It's so nice to feel better and be productive.

eta: It did, SA, and it's very pretty. Someday I'm going to see that stuff in person.

Deena, that's wonderful. Bask in the reward of your GOOD WORK.

Thanks, Betsy. I went and looked at the link for the stuff you were trying to do today. I felt a great deal of sympathy for you.

I was complaining to my physical therapist that the easy-peasy Yoga for achy people DVD I have is too hard for me and she told me I wasn't ready for yoga, or tai chi (because I asked about that, too), and to just do the exercises she gives me. Even those are hard sometimes, and I feel stupid that they're hard -- chin tucks, for crying out loud!, they give me a headache!-- but she tells me it will get better, and I'm starting to believe her. I hope you find something soon that will make things better for you.

Yay, Deena!

And with that, I'm going to bed. See y'all in the morning.

Deena --- the job and physical therapy things are fantastic!

And don't be too hard on yourself about what you can and can't do, your just at the beginning .

Talked to my dad. He totally agrees with me that Grandma can not be the care giver for my great aunt and that my great uncle is too irrational. He's going to wait and see how the current situation plays out and if his cousins don't step up to the plate he's going to talk to them.

If this were a rare occurance it would be one thing, but it's not. My great uncle had surgery a month or so ago (which I didn't know), my great aunt fell and fractured her wrist last year, two years ago she ended up in the hospital with pneomonia and there have been different occasions between those times when Grandma has had to take one of the to the doctor or deal with a crisis, etc.

I'm glad dad sees the things I do, I was kind of worried he didn't.

Hi SA! Welcome back.

SA! Welcome back. And feel better soon!

Anne and Deena--ooh, a wealth of lately-absent Bitches.

askye, all the good thoughts in the world for your family, may you get care and cluesticking worked out to everyone's benefit.

Yeesh. I catch up, now I gotta go do trash and recycling dutie. Because I left it till this late, and everybody knows I'm not getting up in the pre-dawn to do it, don't we?

Knowing you, Bev, you'll just be falling asleep pre-pre-dawn.

I think it's time for me to head for bed. Tomorrow has lots of work in store for me. Yay for work!

And speaking of work, a little extra ~ma for Daniel.

Goodnight lovely peoples.
