Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Common colds are common-adults get 1-3 per year.

Yes, I was just at Ralph's. Yes, they had blueberries. No, they didn't have good plain yoghurt or the right granola. This is one big reason I hate shopping. Why can't we have complete stores like we have complete proteins???

Happy birthday, Jess! Happy marriage, sj!

Happy birthday, Jessica! Happy anniversary sj & TCG!

And Jesse, sending much ~ma to you and your mother. It's a hard transition, no doubt, but at some point it becomes necessary. I hope you find a good place, one that meets both nursing and social needs.

Happy Birthday Jessica! Happy Anniversary SJ!

Sigh. The lump was nothing, but Clio did have full anal sacs, an ear infection and fleas. I am the worst cat owner ever.

God, I hate battling fleas.

Happy birthday Jessica! Happy anniversary sj!

And good luck, Jesse. I hope it's not too stressful, and I agree that many of the nursing homes/care facilities are very nice. As an aside, check out ProPublica's database of nursing home reports: they did a big project several years ago to compile state reporting data on SNFs. That might help to distinguish between the nice-looking ones and the ones which are actually good.

Common colds are common-adults get 1-3 per year.

And yet I haven't had one for a couple of years. Ever since the business with my folks (and the job) ramped up into Completely Stressful, I stopped getting colds. The only real sickness I've had recently was the vertigo last summer, and the ongoing allergies.

I shouldn't complain, but I worry that the cold is just holding off and it's going to wallop me but good--as soon as I get a new job, probably.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, thanks -- I will look at the ProPublica stuff. We're only looking at recommended places, I think, but that can't hurt.

I hope you find some good options, Jesse.

Happy anniversary, sj!

Happy birthday, Jess!

I agree with Consuela about the ProPublica site. I found it helpful. There are a few other sites out there too, at least there were for California nursing homes.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Amazon just messaged me that my hemispherical silicone molds have been delivered and now I just want to go home and try to make Thanksgivikkuh nuggets.
