I have bounced checks to my parents. It sucks but they still love me. But still, not a great feeling, so i'm sorry about that.
I would be there right now.

Now tagless for your comfort.
He went last year - and yes.
ETA - Cashmere's friend from Dallas is made of awesome, btw.
I forgot that he was an alum. And yeah, he's awesome. Great writer, too.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Our new nurse saw our weird metal chicken and said, "you have a Beyonce!"
So the new nurse is working out then?

Had dinner with Maria tonight, which was awesome! I think we would talk ourselves hoarse if given the chance. My cats performed as only my cats can, which is to say: Loki horked right in front of Maria and did his 'vomit is SATAN' routine. Yeah, thanks cats. I'll let Maria share the more shining parts of the visit with the class.

burrell, too soon to tell, but she said things (around paperwork, having the chart done, if we want her to go when we are home etc) that were cool...like we're on the same page.

My evil little heart is cackling. I called KCD this evening to tell him about CJ's dentist appointment and request his help in paying for the fillings he needs (KCD can't offer any funding help right now, darn it). At one point in the discussion he called me "babe". I paused and he apologized. Then he had to get off the phone immediately. I have a feeling the new wife heard him and was giving him an earful. I know I shouldn't giggle, but I can't help it.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
And I would have posted much sooner, but Lucky decided to greet me the same way. Total revenge for saying out loud how glad I was that it wasn't my cat this time.
sara, I obviously made it home. Thank you for a wonderful evening, especially once I recovered the power of speech.
Suzi, you are not evil. I'd be giggling too.
Ugh, I'm so sorry msbelle. I wish things were less frustrating for you. Wings can cure a multitude of ailments, though, and I approve of your recovery plan.
Kat, congratulations on finishing the half marathon, and my fingers are crossed that the new nurse remains on the same wavelength as you and K.
Stephanie, I'm sending good thoughts your way. I hope you continue down the path that makes you happy.

but Lucky decided to greet me the same way.
Bwahahah! Yeah, that is so unfair.

Maria, my grandmother-in-law was asking how you were doing this weekend. She's been keeping you guys on her prayer list.
She's pretty awesome that way.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My mother went home today. I'm sad she didn't go home on schedule, which was Friday, while I was there. I would have liked to help integrate her into her new daily routine. But taking it slow is good. Her Wednesday (or was it Thursday?) was awful. Just awful. Chastened everyone. But that's all done with now. Our helper will be happy to be able to, ah, help, and there may be a nurse coming in too, so she can have sane and well rested help 24/7.
It's frustrating, because there's no middle ground--a week isn't long enough, but what can you do? The key thing is to not be insane where she can see,
