That's good to hear about Matilda's first day!

I love zuchini bread so much. I need to make some.

D's ex was here for about 2 hours, and it was fine. we'll see them tomorrow night for dinner, and then for a thing at the Nelson that they came here for. She's fine with me, but I guess I'm just protective of D. Ah, well. It's just a couple of days, and there will be wine at dinner and at the Nelson thing, so there's that.

M has grown a ton in a month and a half!

Scrappy, sorry to hear about your brother's MiL, but also it's lovely to think of her having such a warm and peaceful passing.

In happier news, my MiL is recovering from her surgery. I was able to see her yesterday, and while she looked ill, she was doing OK. Plus the initial path reports suggest that it wasn't a malignancy, which would be such a relief, more than I felt I could hope for.

Oh Plei, just read Beep Me. Sending ~ma and good vibes to your father.

Sheesh, that's a lot of bad news in a short period of time.

-ma for Ple's dad, meara's friends, Fred Pete's cat.

Thanks for the infusion of good news, Burrell.

How's Cody holding up?

Toe or tow the line?

I don't know if I'm getting my mood back today. They're redoing the apartment of the old lady across the courtyard. Now I'm fretting about where she is.

Healthma to PMM's dad, and meara's friends.

Good to hear about the MIL, Burrell.

Toe or tow the line?

Toe.

Oh, that's awful, meara.

Good health to your dad, Plei.

Yessss! (With fist pump)

Toe the line. Unless you're using the definition of "line" that means a rope, in which case if you're dragging it behind you, you could be towing it.

That's exactly what the Coz-E is. It's a wearable blanket just like the Snuggie and the Slanket, but this one heats up for those extra cold days. It has an included remote control to let you crank up the heat if you so desire, and it's just as fashionable as the original. For only $68, how can you say no?

OH MY GOD I MUST HAVE ONE
