She's terse. I can be terse. Once in flight school, I was laconic.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Hi Shir, nice to see you around.

Take care of yourself, too, Theo. Forgive me if I sound like a buttinsky, but maybe it would help if you could bring in more care for her. Half an hour twice a day isn't much relief for you.

I better go make breakfast for the kiddies. They want pancakes, but I just want one of the scones I made yesterday: almond meal in the batter, with dried cherries and chocolate chips.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Ooh! Pratchett!

Good, Kat, keep us posted.

I started out my spring break by waking up at six with a nosebleed. Not on, universe! And Dave had a rough night, too, so we're skipping church, and he's sleeping in.

But it's a pretty day, and there was a flock of about fifty robins tooling around this morning. Must be spring, I think they're rounding up to head up toward you northerly folks.

Now tagless for your comfort.

We're back from a short staycation. Took the kids to a hotel near Appleton which had a fantastic pool area (slide, kiddie pool, etc.) Had a wonderful time except for last night I nearly had to cockpunch some ADULTS in the hot tub who were laughing at Owen's idiosyncratic speech patterns. Fuckers.

Thanks for checking on ita, Kat.

Theo, I'm sorry about the stress of dealing with your mom's stuff. I'm glad you've got an optimistic approach and that the issues are fixable. You're a wonderful caretaker.

Mom is getting so apprehensive about the MRI scheduled for Tuesday that I'm going to cave and stay through that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You're a good daughter, Theo.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I just had hot and sour soup for brunch.

I might need more sustenance. Possibly something with fewer chili seeds.

Cash, I want those blocks. Sorry to hear there were buttwipe-people at your staycation.

{{{Theodosia}}} I wish I had something more useful to say.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Shit, three Oakland police killed and a fourth barely hanging on. Bad day on the streets.

I miss being healthy. I've been sick for two weeks straight, and all I want it is to be healthy enough to clean the bathroom without passing out.
