Take the two breaths and then take a third, with my compliments. Mwah!

Also, if Em had had the particular problem they're talking about in this article, it would've shown up within hours of her birth. At a year plus, she's ridiculously in the clear.

I'm still making pancakes, even with the scary pharmaceutical interaction talk.

Supper tonight at Gud's house!

Sorry, didn't mean to be alarmist.

I just know a lot of Buffistae are on ADs and folks should be conscious of the issues.

Happy Birthday, Suzi!

it basically consists of teaching wee groups of 1-4 kids from Grades 3-5 who need extra support with what they're doing in class. I think it should be pretty good, and I'll have my own classroom and computer, which is nice too.

This sounds like a good thing. Congratulations, Fay!

Cash, I hope the babies start sleeping at the same time occasionally for you.

Stepmom called and my cousin passed away last night. She was at home, which she wanted.

I didn't get to see her because frankly her actual parents are jackasses. But mom did get to and, since she is the person who has taken care of Brookie and taken her to every doctor appointment for the last several years, that means a lot more to me.

I came to terms with the fact that I might not get a chance to see her when I was out of town.

The fact that I was back and wanted to go directly from the airport Tuesday evening? And there was a request for no visitors for a few days? Well it strikes me as deeply deeply shitty but entirely unsurprising.

Also I am not supposed to mention anything about Brooke's passing to my neicelet. This is subject #1087 that I am not supposed to mention to her.

I am still completely reeling from my s-i-l telling us the day before my grandma died that my neicelet was being sent off to an all-girl's boarding school in Vermont the next morning. You know, I have always told her that I would never lie to her. I think I am reduced to sending notes that are just blank.

lots of apartment ~ma your way first thing tomorrow morning. I'd send it now but it'd just get there early and then wander around and get lost.

I'll take some of that too. My family is rapidly splitting itself into Those I Will Miss Terribly and Those I Should Not Wish Horrible Things Upon (But Kinda Think About Anyway) and I want to be somewhere else.

Huh. That got a LOT ventier than I intended.
