Wash: Little River just gets more colorful by the moment. What'll she do next? Zoe: Either blow us all up or rub soup in our hair. It's a toss-up. Wash: I hope she does the soup thing. It's always a hoot, and we don't all die from it.

Thanks, Perkins!
In other news, I have set a new personal best in exercise today since I got my Fitbit. My body kind of wants to know why I won't just sit down and stay there.

Go, shrift!
I exercised today for the first time in over a week, since I got sick, and bah, it was painful. So I bought ice cream tonight (B&J's Americone Dream).

That is the BEST ice cream!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I have insomnia. Again. Fuck.
Have taken valium. Might sleep now. Or just sit and stare blankly at something on the television. Possibly static. Wonder if I still get the static channel? That always had the best alien communications.

Someone just posted "Dogs in Elk" on my friend's Facebook wall in response to a comment. The internet world is very small.

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

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Catching up from yesterday: my Mom moved into an "independent living community" run by Erickson, which are pretty incredible, IMHO. Not exactly limos to take you to stores, but regular wheel-chair-equipped mini-buses scheduled, dining halls set up as restaurants, community centers, libraries, exercise center and pool, on-campus doctors, dedicated activity rooms for arts & crafts, wood-working, computer instruction, et cetera. Also an on-campus nursing home that you can transition to if their in-home care providers aren't adequate.
I feel so lucky that my Mom went for this arrangement, both that I have the peace of mind knowing that she's got her independence and that I don't have to worry overmuch (not that there isn't a level of worry inherent in her being 87, but that comes with the territory). Because, for instance, the security does a door check every morning and if the special latch hasn't been moved -- indicating that the resident hasn't left their apartment since the previous day -- they'll knock until someone answers or they bust in.
