Good luck with pilling the kitty, Sean! Wear heavy gloves and possibly a flak jacket. Maybe a tranq dart?

Laura, your MiL does the same thing my friend's husband just did. Ended up with a colostomy bag because he wouldn't go to the doctor for two years with stomach pain. Why do people do that?? ~ma for dealing with it all.

IOmeN, I found the perfect casual skirt for today's outing, and miraculously it fit. I really need to go shopping, for real. I have nothing that doesn't go with jeans.

Thanks again for all the good thoughts.

Some good suggestions here on the cat pilling. I hope one of them works for you Sean.

{{ND}} I hope you got some healing rest.

I'm off to the hospital. She looked a bit better when we left last night. Her oxygen was doing better and she was just on the regular nose tubing thing. It was 63, which isn't so great. They put some umbrella thing in to keep clots from doing bad things. Really I got info 3rd hand so not so much in the know. But she saw me and said my name so I felt better. And it is about me, right?

Bobby has baseball so DH is at the park and I'll do a morning visit and switch with him later.

And where are the Jilli pictures?! And Pete, don't wait a long time on the glasses. Seeing right is a good thing.

Health~ma to ND.

Continued ~ma to your mother-in-law, Laura. I'm glad she is doing a bit better.

Well, it's partly about you. Around here especially. I'm glad things are looking a bit better. Word to your mother.

Awww...Laura, honey. ~ma and prayers coming from Boston. You take care of yourself too, ok.

Much ~ma heading to Laura, her MIL, and her entire family.

Laura, all good thoughts and hopes continuing your way. I'm so sorry you all are going through this.

I hope your MiL keeps improving, Laura.

TCG and I are headed out in a little bit to look at an apartment and meet with a real estate person that handles apartments. Wish us luck.

Much healthma for your MiL, Laura.

Apartment vibes to sj.

Caffeinema to me.
