But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

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

Sashimi salad will have to be tomorrow's dinner (I feel like bringing in sashimi for lunch would be oppressive to my co-workers), I definitely ordered too much. But all yum!

Oh, the other thing I did today was register for a 5K for the end of March. I think the terrain will be a bit hillier than I am used to (since I am used to very very flat) but I can walk however much I need to.

-t, happiest happies on your birthday.

oh consuela. I'm so sorry. This sounds extraordinarily stressful for all involved. Also, dad, listen to what the docs say.

Tomorrow we get to find out if the freezing rain will be "historic" or "catastrophic."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Tomorrow we get to find out if the freezing rain will be "historic" or "catastrophic."

I'd stay inside either way!

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Thanks, y'all. My brother says the downside of Dad not complying with the orders is that he'll never be able to eat anything chewy again. Which would suck: he loves him a good steak. And pie.

So that's the argument we're going to make: liquid diet, or no pie ever again!

SIGH.

It's a good argument and might get through. It's so hard when there are cognition challenges.

Random fact learned tonight: they use five different kinds of chocolate to make ExLax, depending on what market it's going to. And it's nicer to work in that part of the plant than over by the antacids, which smells of cherry. This is dinner conversation when you're surrounded by guys who run pharmaceutical manufacturing plants.

Also lots and lots of work gossip. Money quote from a bigwig: "We'll resume this conversation someplace a lot more private and with more alcohol."

Got stupid (pre-alcohol) and am soooo sunburned. I will be skipping 6 am yoga with all of the other women in the group, thanks so much. But this morning there was a 90-some degree temperature differential between home and here (84 v. -7). I'll take that.
