My job just changed our slogan, and I'm all thrown off!
But did they write a song?
Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Did they not consult you on that, Jesse? Seems like an oversight.
I know, right? I just saw it in the newsletter!
But did they write a song?
They should!
msbelle, seems to me anyone who named their kid Jim Crow did it on purpose.

Ouch, sorry to hear that things are declining so fast, Consuela.
Yesterday my best friend told me they think his dad is on the final downward slope. They discontinued his Parkinson's meds (he's at Stage 5), and although that pretty much removes any mobility they found that it also made him more lucid, and eliminated his hallucinations and behavioral problems. He seems to have made his peace with the approaching end. I was able to reassure him that based on experience with my dad, I'd definitely choose improved mental function over treating the physical symptoms in his shoes. It's not doing you any good to have greater muscle control if you're not in your right mind and have to be restrained to avoid hurting yourself.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Wouldn't you go by James if that were you? Or Jimmy or J.?
More likely J. Middlename.

Indeed.
After talking with my brother last night, the goal is safety and happiness rather than actual improvements in her health.
Thanks everyone for the support. Yesterday was just too much. Of course, today I have a really long to-do list of calls relating to my folks, when I should really be job-hunting.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Man, I'm really sorry your worries are interfering with each other, Consuela. Bad enough to have either to deal with on its own.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Safety and happiness are good goals, Consuela. Still holding you and sending strength.
msbelle, seems to me anyone who named their kid Jim Crow did it on purpose.
sigh, yeah, like that kid whose parents named him Adolph Hitler LastName.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Consuela, I can't fathom what you have on your plate right now. I feel really deeply for you. I hope the planning can make this as tolerable as possible, and you can get back to the already fun enough job search.

Mmm, Popeye's. I haven't had that in a while.
Fried chicken is the ultimate summer picnic food if you ask me. Yum!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Oh, man, I just used my new bathtub for the first time and I think I might have to marry it. It's wide enough and long enough that I can actually stretch out in it and not have to choose whether to cover my knees or my shoulders with water.
