Aw, baby pee.
Good luck to Matilda!

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.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
K-Bug is off to her first day of a "real" job. I should have taken a picture of her with her lunch bag and everything. She is already scheduled for about 30 hours this week over 3 days, with patients already on her schedule.
I'm such a proud mama. It is so cool seeing her accomplish the goal she set for herself many years ago. Both of my kids have had clear ideas of what they wanted to do when they grew up. I never had a plan and just kinda fell into my current career. I'm happy enough, but I never knew what I wanted to do when I was high school let alone before that.

Smonster, you were with us the whole time. Like Jesus. Only really different.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Lunch was a sandwich. After I took off the cheese that was on it, it had lettuce, tomatoes, sprouts, mushrooms, and a tiny bit of avocado. I think I'll go see if I can find something else to eat.

Cheese? They clearly are not real clear on "vegan". Good grief.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Had a bit of a rough time yesterday. Mom's getting depressed in the rehab and just wants to come home. It's so distressing when she asks me to just take her home and I have to keep telling her it's not safe yet. Just tears me up. I called a home health care place and got her set up for an assessment tomorrow afternoon. I've got the names of a few places, but I think I'm going to need a bit of a break before talking with the others. And I have the website to apply for Paid Family Leave open in another window, but I need a few minutes before I wade back in and start trying to deal with that. Depending on how on-the-ball this home health place is, and when Mom gets discharged, I may not even need to take much leave. The guy I spoke with certainly made it sound like they could manage it this week. Though I might like to have a few days just to see how things go at first anyway.
I went to church for the first time in a while yesterday with my BFF & her DH. In time for a message about Job and trusting in God even when things are really hard. So clearly (to me) I was supposed to be there. But in addition to the message being pointed at me, I also met with the pastor for a few minutes after the service and he not only prayed with/for me, but also gave some very solid suggestions and the offer of actual help from people of the church. So it was nice to be reminded of resources that are available, even if what should be the first line (husband, family) isn't.
I also finally pulled the trigger and got a smart phone - the hinge of my flip phone is cracked and I just couldn't risk being without a phone right now when I'm the point man for my mom. I not only went from a flip phone to a smart phone, but also changed carriers, so I was there for HOURS. But my BFF surprised me by coming along, so it was more fun, and she was asking all these questions that I wouldn't have thought of, so very helpful. Now I'm the proud owner of a Samsung S6 - I was just going to get the S5, but I let myself be talked into the newest and neatest. My friends are excited because I finally have a texting plan. First app downloaded (after Kindle, of course)? The Zippo lighter. I loves it. It's the small things right now, y'know?

Cheese? They clearly are not real clear on "vegan". Good grief.
There was also some pasta salad that I'm sure wasn't vegan, which I didn't eat. I did manage to grab a bag of chips before they were all gone, though. At least cheese on a sandwich is easy enough to remove. (I probably wouldn't eat a sandwich if there had been meat on it and I took it off, but I'm OK doing that with cheese, as long as it's just slices and not like goat cheese or something where it would be impossible to get it all off. I really have no basis in logic for this. I also generally don't ask about the ingredients in the bread in stuff like this -- when I buy bread for myself, I make sure it's vegan, but if I'm served something in a situation where there's not a good way to look at the bread ingredients, I just eat it, if there's nothing else to eat. If I were a bit more settled in and organized, I would have brought lunch from home, but my kitchen isn't really usable yet.)
