Poor K and poor mom. Earache in lieu of London seems to be rather sucky.
All right, no one's killing folk today, on account of our very tight schedule.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I start interviewing realtors today. I have not decided whether to rent the house or sell it.
Any advice from the thread regarding what to ask realtors?

On Monday, Grace saw her new pulmonary doc who promptly discontinued one med and backed off the frequency of the other. I am supportive of this except... last night she had some minor respiratory distress and was up in the middle of the night and needed 2-3 times as much suctioning as she does normally.
In fact, when I woke her up to do her breathing treatment she was so upset and angry and she asked to go back to bed. I added the med she had been DC'ed on, called the nurse and gave her the treatment then put her back in bed. Then she woke an hour later on her own and was her usual cheery self.
Maybe weaning her meds down is premature. Or maybe she has a cold.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Aw, I am sorry Sparky.
I wish I was nearby, msbelle. Well, for many reason, but I would take Mr. Ralph Stanley in a second. Cats be damned.
I must have been exhausted last night. I fell asleep at 8:30. Was awoken by the cats for their midnight snack, then went back to bed and slept until 6.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'm pretty sure that wasn't a romance novel.

I did not know this:
6. The Taser
Long before anyone ever uttered the words, "Don't tase me, bro," Edward Stratemeyer began publishing a series of books about a teen boy named Tom Swift who was inventive and scientifically-inclined. The first book was written in 1910 and was meant to teach young adults about science. This boy invented a number of things, but it was the electric rifle that Jack Cover, a NASA researcher, was inspired by. Cover began developing the actual Taser (an acronym for "Thomas A. Swift's Electric Rifle") in 1969. The device was completed in 1974.

“As always, the crowd was on hand for the Uncle Googie Cartoon Show, sponsored by a local ice cream company. There was never a shortage of kids on hand to accept the free samples Uncle Googie handed out during the show. Uncle Googie was really a staff announcer named Barney Nesbitt….Barney was a jerk.”
