Oh yeah... it'll now be about 7 minutes instead of 85.

That is an awesome improvement.

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.

Sue, congratulations on the new job! Any monkey-handing involved?

I should get your spare key back to you - when would be a good time?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Thanks! Hmmm, no monkeys that i know about.

Um, I don't know. Maybe we should plan some celebratory drinks.

ita, I have no advance directive for me (which is my goal for next year -- advance directive and a will -- not because I own anything but for custody issues) but I had one in place for Grace at some point. Advance directives are rough because it's all about if/then and thinking through possibilities to their fullest extreme.

eta The Mayo Clinic has a great and thorough walking through of things to consider before you write an advanced directive: [link]

I just taught a great writing activity. I love teaching so much when I don't have to do the bureaucratic crap, when I swoop in, teach a lesson and then go on. It's what I love most about my job.

Last week's Gray's Anatomy wanted me to make sure my grandmother has a DNR on file (she talks a lot about how she's too old to live at this point, so I'm sure she wouldn't want to be brought back), but how do you bring that up? I mean, really.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

OMG, how could I ever choose a medical PoA? Wait..can you appoint a foreigner?

That stuff is creepy and freaky and important.
