I'd appreciate it if you'd send some "it's not as bad as it sounds" -ma towards Nashville. I just got an e-mail from my best friend. She's out of town helping her mother go back to her assisted living apartment from a nursing home. Her mother's recovering from a broken hip. (The broken hip is one of those "no place is safe" stories. Her mother went downstairs in the assisted living place to get her mail, and another resident fell on her.) She just got word that she had a fire in her house, apparently caused by lighting. The firemen got the fire out, but they used lots of water. She has thousands of books. Literally thousands. She can't get home until tomorrow.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
another resident fell on her.
God help me, I laughed out loud. But this is the old lady I will be -- falling on the other old ladies.
Ginger, despite the inappropo laughter, I feel awful for your friend. I would be freaking out, too. I hope the water went on the roof, or towards the lilac bushes or something.

It was pretty funny, in the abstract. My friend commented that it was particularly ironic since she was so relieved when her parents moved into the assisted living place because she was afraid they'd fall walking out to street to get the mail in the winter.

Oh Ginger - lots of ~ma.
In mememe news, I'm typing this from my laptop, sitting in my car while K-Bug is at softball practice. Go me!!!
Today with the auditors was a bit better. They do understand that I'm not trying to get around the corporate rules and procedures and that I'm beyond short handed. Will see what ends up in the findings, but knowing that on a human level, they understand - helps a lot.

(Yonks from now, I will not spit my dentures onto my monitor if I read about the same sort of accident happening to you.)

sending out ~ma for Ginger's friend's mom. That is scary. I hate that no place is safe!
Also, WTF is up with Erin's day? Does the universe not KNOW that she is ERIN and FABULOUS and on VACATION!? Universe, it's like I don't even know you anymore.
I have belly danced tonight!!! It is cool as all get out! BUt I wrenched my back during the rib/chest isolation circle moves, so yech. But I figure once my body gets that it's SUPPOSED to be moving like that, things should get in the groove.
