There was an audible sigh of relief when we read you were with Ginger, Zen. Thank you. It is such a feeling of helplessness to not be able to go be actual physical help.
These are stone killers, little man. They ain't cuddly like me.

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.
thanks for all you did for Ginger, Zenkitty. And Ginger, I hope when you get a chance to read this, you are not too terribly bored out of your skull at being out of contact... or worse, so sick and miserable that you can't get here.
Lots of love to all and sundry.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
ltc apparently loves the swing we inherited from one of Mom's friends as long as I am not in the room when she is put in it. She has happily fallen asleep in it for both Mom and TCG, but when I put her in it the other day she screamed and screamed until I took her out.
swing is clearly a distant second to your arms, sj

My kids loved the swing, too. Especially when I put it in front of the fish tank. My youngest, though, would never fall asleep in it. Car rides were the only thing that would put him to sleep.
I don't go in Natter, enough; I didn't realize Ginger was in rehab. Please send my well wishes along to her, Zen, if you are in contact.
Laura, I hit my 10,000 steps! And I have an hour left at work. Still have to go put the conference room back to rights. Sigh.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
My fever went down to 99 after the Tylenol. The doctor says I'm a little dehydrated and my oxygen levels were a little low. He wants me to stay hydrated and rest.

Good advice, sj. Take care of yourself. I'm glad it was an easy "fix".

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Classes are over for the semester! Still have final exams on Monday, and then grading. My plan for this weekend is cleaning my apartment. The goal is clean enough than I feel comfortable inviting people over. Then, possibly, I will invite people over. Or maybe not, because I am a hermit. But I might overcome my hermit-like tendencies.

Thrive to spite them
So I'm done at Grandma E and Aunt Jane's . My aunt has gone off for a holiday parade obligation.
Grandma E def8had dementia and she's looping. Once she gets unstuck she can kind of have a conversation. But she's said about 7 times now how football has changed when she started watching there weren't any blacks just Polacks (her words) and now there aren't any white people playing.
The best response had been "things have changed"
But she also keeps asking if I'm settling in Brevard or if I'll move to Florida.
And complimenting the car.
