The plumber is here. I'm hoping he doesn't take too long because he's in my only bathroom.

clean bathroom
put pictures online for Tim's dad

email client
walk up to library [MAYBE]

Go, Teppy! I need to do laundry too.
I'm getting a new fancy shower head! TCG wanted the plumber to look at leaky shower head while he was here, since they charge by the hour anyway. And it needs to be replaced. So, now I'm getting one of those shower heads that can be used handheld as well.

Bed made, laundry in washer. I'll start on the pictures for Tim's dad while I eat lunch.

The plumber is gone! I guess that means I should shower and start getting stuff done.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Quick update - brought Mom home last night from her FOURTH hospital stay in less than 2 months. She was strong enough to come straight home instead of having to go to rehab first, so that's very good. I had been feeling like they were just treating symptoms without getting the underlying cause; finally one of her doctors explained more fully that it's not any one acute thing. It's 38 years with diabetes compromising her kidneys, heart disease doing its part, etc. So she's sent home with adjusted meds, better instructions re modulating her diet, and hopefully a better attitude about taking care of herself. I will accept any ~ma, prayers, vibes, etc., for both of us as we learn to take better care of her.
Also, Hi, still love you guys, *waves tiredly*, thanks for being here. And now, back to work. Sigh.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I need to pack and organize my stuff, because the movers are coming tomorrow morning. But I've got a massive headache and mostly just want to nap.

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.
Epic, I'm glad you got a big picture discussion with a doctor. It does help, especially in such tough circumstances.
Yay hand-held shower head!
Yay productivity!

Ann, that's a ferret.
Good luck, Epic. We're looking at something similar with my sister-in-law. She's moving back East because her health isn't good enough any more to live by herself with no family closer than 2,000 miles away. (She'll continue to live on her own, but with 2 brothers living within a 15-minute or so drive.)
