I'm a little worried about how frequent crying is going to affect the cataract surgery.

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
I am into the land of bad anniversaries.
You and me both. It fucking sucks. I hate that you know this too.
I'm picking up the pieces of those plans every day.
Also fucking sucks. It's OK to not deal for a while. Your mental health is important too.

{{{{{Connie & Maria}}}}} I'm sorry.

The daylight is getting longer. Not that long ago, it was pitch dark at this hour. Now there is sunlight on the valley--though not for too much longer. I've come to dislike the dark very much.

Herding cats for fun
Pleased that W.S. enjoys my bird stories. I shall keep you updated; I myself will be fascinated. So glad the kids came by and confirmed what I was seeing. My vision is that terrible even with the progressive lenses.
To Harvey, I say: spoon! Old cats rock. Mine is still here to make my lap glad.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Not being the assiduous watcher of tv that the other cat, Sammie, is - Harvey wished to know what was on the spoon. I had to explain pop culture references and superhero battle cries to him. He gave me such a funny look.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
tears are lubricating, right?

I miss being able to enjoy food. I feel awful tonight.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
askye, I'm glad you went back to the doctor and that Will was able to accompany you through it. I hope the new cough medicine helps.
Connie and Maria, my thoughts are with you. Connie, I know it hurts to remember and there's nothing that can really help that. I keep turning back to the Stuart Scott quote from his speech:
"When you die, that does not mean you lose to cancer," Scott said in the July speech at the ESPY Awards. "You beat cancer by how you live, why you live and the manner in which you live."
By that measure, your husband beat it. Probably cold comfort, I know. But your viking fought all the way.

Katerina Bee, thank you for the bird stories, they are charming. And billytea, thank you for the sci fi (but not Syfy) twist.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Okay, one more question on this dress [link]
As shown, those are cap sleeves, which are not flattering on my own personal arms, because they hit at exactly the wrong spot. But you can customize the sleeves, so my question is: standard short sleeves (longer than the cap sleeves pictured, but not massively so), or sleeveless?
I'm actually leaning towards sleeveless, though my first instinct was short sleeves. As you can see, I can be swayed either way.
Please show your work.
(Not really.)
