I've seen honest faces before. They usually come attached to liars.

Oh Jesse, how hard. But it sounds like the right path forward.

Because books.

Oh, Jesse, that's hard. But like you said, it's good that the doctors were able to see him that way, too. I hope your mom's okay -- this will be a big adjustment for her, too.

ION, I have sushi for dinner.

IOON, my sister received her lease payment check. $15,000! Whoo hoo! The company is going to be sending me a form I have to return before they send me the check. Boo!!! I owe thousands to the IRS in a week and a half, people! You couldn't have sent me this form weeks ago?

$15K? That's awesome, Connie!

I LOVE Ross for dresses. They have an enormous selection

Yes, but for some reason, TJ Maxx and Marshalls are perfectly fine, but Ross is always super sketchy, kinda dirty, and has security guards all over the place. I have no idea why the difference.

Jesse, so sorry. Had they already looked at nursing homes for the future, and just didn't expect it quite yet?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Our Ross is brand new, so although it has the same security guard vibe, it hasn't had time to get sketchy yet. I prefer TJ Maxx, but we don't have one.

Aw Jesse. I'm glad he's getting care.

I hate Ross. It's disorganized, overly crowded and filled with hateful people. Marshalls blessedly arranges Chidren's shoes (my main discount retailer purchase) in a way that is both aesthetically pleasing and easy to shop.

I go into Ross et al. and go "I *still* won't pay this much for X! Who pays these retail prices?" I don't get coupons for them as they're not part of my shopping universe. I'm afraid WalMart is my budget. The poor don't get to be fussy about how evil our purveyors of underwear are.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Kitties!

I don't think Ross does coupons? (If they or TJ Maxx do, quick someone let me know where to get that shit)

And on the running thing, I just did W4D3 of Couch to 5K! I had to pause in the middle of one of the runs to tie my shoe, but I'm still counting it. Week 5 starts with Run 5/Walk 2/Run 7/Walk 2/Run 5. Not sure about that. Week 4 didn't have that long a run AND it was Walk 3! Hrmph. (I guess if they ramped it up more slowly it would be, like, a 20 week program instead of 8)
