I brought 100 items to the consignment shop, stopped by the used bookstore while waiting for my appointment to start (one book for me and two golden books for ltc), stopped at the market, and now I'm home and spoonless. I'm not doing a thing for the next couple of hours (Mom is here so I can do that).
And boys -- let's watch the swearing.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Sounds like you didn't miss much, Jilli.
Glad you had a good experience at the dentist, askye. I am nervous about my appointment tomorrow, since it's been so long.
I have now been to the Fluevog store. It is less than a block from my symposium and I actually walked by without realizing this morning. If I doze off in sessions, at least I will dream of shoes.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
My DH has a FIVE-hour dentist appointment today. He has really bad and almost dark brown teeth, due to tetracycline use when he was a child (it's a thing- [link] ). He has always hated that they look that way. Today he gets veneers to cover all of his front teeth. They cost $8k, which we have been saving for for a long time.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
My friend in college had grey teeth from tetracycline. It really bugged her.
Good look to him! May his podcast/music playlist be full and distracting.

Wow, that's exciting, Scrappy!! But OMG, five hour appointment sounds awful, even if the results are worth it

Our wings are not tired
People do really horrible things around funerals. I still carry the memory of a friend of my father's yelling at me over the phone when he found out that he has missed the memorial because of a screw up and the word not getting out to the Shriner's group dad was part of. He was livid and merciless, and took it out on me.
Another masonic group had arranged the memorial and they got the word out to everyone. We assumed they managed it all, and apparently they missed that group.
Due to the mess with my sister, we never did have a service for my mom. I paid all the funeral home expenses, was written out of the will, never did see mom's urn, and don't ever expect to, or to see my father's ever again either.
So yeah. sorry to hear that family is being a mess Laura, it hurts, and it sucks.

I am so sorry you had to deal with that, Laura.

Laura, I'm so sorry. That's all so awful.
And Drew, I'm retroactively sorry for all that you had to go through.
