Hi, Cindy!
The count of three isn't a plan. It's Sesame Street.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Hubby's daughter is going back to Bremerton, Washington, where she's getting a new job, and where she grew up. She's not a fan of Utah's summers and winters--don't blame her--and I suspect she came here because her husband got a good job here.
I greeted the news with a guilty "Oh, yay." Because having her nearby has been a source of grudging "I should contact her, see how she's doing". I'm horrible with that sort of thing, with people who might demand things of me I'm not set up to provide, ie, comfort and the possibility of digging into potentially painful things. (I'm a horrible person to have in a family, I am not someone who has much patience with other people's discomfort unless I really like you.)
But at least I can put my guilt into a backburner once she moves. I am curious as to whether her husband is going with her, there hasn't been mention of him, and I know they've had issues. But if I don't reach out to her out of a desire to comfort, I'm not entitled to reach out to her out of a desire for gossip.

Mucho ~ma for your Ma, DCJ.
And in I've Apparently Been Cursed to Live in Interesting Times news, we just got a message that due to a screwup at payroll, the paychecks that would normally show up today won't be deposited until tomorrow and, depending on your bank, might not be available until Tuesday (because obviously if a screwup like this is going to happen, it's going to happen on a 3-day weekend). They've already said they'll reimburse any overdrafts, and it's not like I'll starve or anything...just wish the nibbly ducks would move on to a new target. Sheesh.

I rested as much as I could today, but my ankle is still really hurting, and I think I might need to use my walker tomorrow. Blah.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
(I'm a horrible person to have in a family, I am not someone who has much patience with other people's discomfort unless I really like you.)
FWIW, you're not the only one. I don't have much patience with my family member's emotional traumas, because with a couple exceptions I don't like or respect any of them. Wanting you to forge (or fake) a deep emotional connection when there never was one before to make her feel better now is too much to ask.

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
Andi, when you get a chance, I could use your expertise. My 15-year old cat (Lucky) was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease today. Sub-q fluids on a MWF schedule, and the vet wants to put her on a low-protein prescription food. I'm wary of what they will recommend. Any advice? Thanks so much.

Zen, our brains are often very much in synch.

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.
I'm glad you caught up with me in Fb last night, Maria.

I made it through today. Now I'm debating whether to take a painkiller. I'm hurting, but I think I can deal with it, and I'm running low on pills and haven't made an appointment to see a doctor here yet. (I was going to call and make an appointment during my lunch time today, but a student needed to talk to me.)
