I'm down at my Mom's in PA for a couple days. After all the times I stayed in the winter, it's kind of cool to be here just to be here, visiting. Mom is off the supplemental oxygen, except at night, and takes along a bottle with her when she goes out, more for the psychological comfort than need.
Big family party on Wednesday, and tomorrow, I'm supposed to accompany her to a casino, which will probably be dreadful, but will make her very happy, so.

The new casino in Emmaus or where ever, Theo? You should totally send your mom with my friend who lives in the area! I know she's already been there...
It's actually pronounced "swat-hee", because there's a fucking "H" in it /Izzard
Merriam-Webster shows both pronunciations, Theo, so you're good.
I pronounce it with a short a, but I spell it without the final e.
"Swather" I pronounce with a long a.
I am eating and drinking for free at The Boardroom - not because M is bartending, but because I just revamped the food and takeout menu. This is the most I've gotten paid for graphic design work yet.
I am still laughing at Nunya, who decided to crawl into the pile of laundry on the love seat to get comfy, and then the whole pile collapsed on the floor, with her wrapped neatly inside it.
