Gud, so good to hear she's out of the woods physically. I hope that you guys get some really great help from the psychiatric facility.
Wesley: All right. I'm going to let you all in on something you may have trouble comprehending. I assure you however-- Gunn: Vampires are real. Wesley: I was telling!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Ugh. I've been pretty much doing double work all week, to prepare for having some colleagues cover my classes next week for Rosh Hashanah, and now I'm exhausted. I got home from work and fell asleep, which I never do, and now it's midnight and I have to clean my kitchen and pack my suitcase for going to NJ, and I just don't want to move. I set my alarm clock for an hour and a half earlier than usual for tomorrow morning, so that, if I do fall asleep, I'll have time to clean and pack in the morning before work.

I had a tussle getting Java to use cat litter, after Gigi was killed by a coyote and the option of letting Java and Lily come/go as they pleased was withdrawn. Cat Attract worked and remains in favor. It doesn't smell like anything that I can tell - yay for that, since I hate nearly all scents.
My mother died four years ago today. My sister made up a little Day of the Dead kind of alter on my kitchen bar, and lit a tea candle. There's an apple and cup of tea there in one of her old teacups that was free from either the bank or the grocery store - it was our daily china when I was growing up in PA.

Our wings are not tired.
May the lovely memories of your mom bring you peace and comfort, Java cat.

The status is NOT quo.
What Laura said, Java Cat. Peace to her memory.
ND and I are about to board our flight to CT. My gram'a memorial is tomorrow. I'm working on my speech on the plane. Bittersweet. She had such a long life, but it's always sad.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Gud, I just saw the news about TCBITW. I'm so terribly sorry to hear it and relieved she is out of the woods.
They'll give her the help she needs. One day this trial will be behind all of you. She WILL be ok and happy and safe once more.

Hugs, Pix. I really enjoyed your posting of pictures and memories of your grandmother. Enjoy the time reminiscing with your family.

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.
Typo, about your mom's potential for remaining in skilled nursing care, do be sure to mention any accessibility issues with her home - i.e. steps in and out, stairs within, bathing needs, etc. It is possible that if she would require a personal care attendant (IIRC you do a great deal of her care, but if she will require more assistance than you can give) for an extended period of time versus a relatively shorter period of time within the skilled nursing facility, the insurance might take that into consideration.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I got flu vaccine and a pneumonia vaccine last Thursday. The arm with the flu vaccine is currently on fire.
