I would also like to request some ~ma for my mom's boyfriend Ray. He just had a stroke today and is in hospital.
Mal: And I never back down from a fight. Inara: Yes, you do! You do all the time!

“Not dead yet!”
If any of our librarian types have access to Kirkus, can you check and see if STARS was actually reviewed? I just got a Google Alert on it, but can't access it because I'm not a subscriber.

Thrive to spite them
I'm asking for some ... end of life~ma for my G'ma (Mom's mom), she'll be 91 the end of the month and she's had dementia for nearly a decade. A few weeks ago she fell and cracked some ribs and in the hospital they discovered clogged arteries which they can't fix anyway due to her delicate health. Plus she's in an extreme amount of pain.

The status: Stone 1, Doctor 0.
Which is to say, they couldn't get it out this morning the easy way, so they've inserted a dreadfully large stent in uncomfortable places, and will try again later.

My mom's boyfriend Ray is now enduring swelling on the brain. They've moved hospice into his room, as they don't want to move him.
My mom is not taking this very well (To be expected!). We lost my dad about 15 years ago the day after thanksgiving.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
My grandfather died this morning. He was a very good man. Please think of him and my family.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
