Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

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.

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.
