Buffista parents are doing a great job helping their offspring with life's bumps.

Oh my G-d, I just want to collect the Buffista sprog and give them pep talks and tell them they're all wonderful and odd and beautiful. And then maybe cry over them a little bit.
Just because it bears saying again. Poor noodles. Poor lovely and loved noodles.

JZ I want you to Mary Poppins in and give that talk to HPF. She won't hear it from me.
Burrell, there is totally something in the air.
Guess which mother-daughter duo spent last night covered in hives? Stupid new dryer sheets.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Dryer sheets are evil.
Matilda's much better this morning, after a warm tub and lots of love from everyone and a good night's sleep, but I'm not dumb enough to think it will last, living as we do in the actual world with all the bad voices pressing in. I wish we could all Mary Poppins each other's sprog.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Is there code to restrict submitting more than one Good Stuff a day? Should I not? Because the reason so many posts are here is that over 50% of the time, that Submit button doesn't you know, let me dominate it.

Aw, Emmett. I mean, you guys are grown. I *expect* you to do that. Teenaged boys, however, are often shits.(I mean, I had a little brother, not a big one, but if I'd told him I had a problem with my ears, he'd probably call me Dumbo or something.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I am happy to have any and all submissions!

My changing criteria in what I want from a nurse:
Before nurse one, be able to deal with her needs.
Before nurse two, be at work when the bus dropped her off. Be on time.
Before nurse three, be regular in attendance.
Before nurse four, be able to go to school with her and be here on time every day.
Now, I want a nurse who doesn't make me feel like I should not be in my house when she is there.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
Gah, Kat.
I like our caregiver but my mother won't let her bathe her, and that's becoming a problem. My dad suspects it's because the woman is black; me, I'm not so sure. Dementia does terrible things to the mind.
Anyway, fun times in Consuela-land: apparently Mom fell out of her wheelchair last night and (maybe) hit her head on the floor and they called an ambulance and off they went to the ER. My sister picked up my dad & was at the hospital until 2AM; the big problem was apparently convincing the doctors that her confusion and upset was from her dementia, not hitting her head (if she even did).
I have a sinking feeling the ALF is going to tell us she can't be safely cared for there, because my dad is clearly not able to provide enough care.
And I'm taking several hours off in the middle of the day today to take Dad to the neurologist. This will be the third week in a row I've taken time off from work to take a parent to the doctor. Whoohoo.
