Jadzia has an appointment at the vet's in about an hour and a half, so I have temporarily closed the portals to the outside. No one is complaining yet.
It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

51 for an Alzheimer's death is unbearably tragic. (Especially because I'm 55.)
I could go to Arisia today, but honestly, I'm so damn tired I doubt there's only so much enjoyment I'd get out of it.

The age, the speed with which the alz advanced, it's awful.

Pumpkin just punched me in the face.
What was your infraction? Did you try to move or something?

I had the nerve to be putting a clean cover on the futon. AFAPC, my face got in the way of her paw.

Alzheimer's is such a difficult disease, and I think people who haven't experienced it personally don't fully understand that it isn't just memory loss but often a complete personality change.

Yes, this. I never really knew my paternal grandmother, because she was sliding into Alzheimer's when I was born. One of my good friends is the caretaker for her mother, who has a slow progressing form of it, and it has been very hard for both of them over the past several years.

Hey, Theo, were you meeting up with people at Arisia on Saturday for dinner? Because I got a random phone call for a Connie about getting Indian food, and I think it might have been from some mutual aquaintance getting us confused. It wasn't Nutty, though...

Unlimited free alcohol as part of a prix fixe meal isn't legal in NYC, but most restaurants get around it by setting the limit higher than most people will order. (So instead of "unlimited mimosas with brunch" it becomes "up to 8 mimosas with brunch" and then the waiters just walk around with a pitcher and refill glasses without keeping track.)
