Jesse, I hope this transition goes as smoothly and trauma-less-ly as possible for you and your dad and your mom. It's so hard.
I'm imagining my mom in that wonderful German facility. Wait for a bus, shoot, my mom stole a delivery van and drove off in it.
My family, we're always the damn outliers.
tommyrot, those photos are lovely! You are surely helping those kitties get homes.
Oh Jesse, I'm sorry that your father has been struggling so. I hope you find a good place for him.
We got some bad news today. C's aunt has metastatic pancreatic cancer. Ugh! Universe, why do you have to be so brutal! Her grandson was just born about a week ago. I hope she gets to spend a good long time with him.
I feel like I do better at TJ Maxx with clothes, and better at Marshall's with shoes, but I could be making that up. I like both. I think the only Ross I was ever in was in Seattle, when I got there and realized I really should have brought a coat.
My real favorite is Home Goods, though. I could wander in there forever.
The main thing I find upsetting about getting older is that we're all terminal and it gets thrown in your face about people you care about more and more. The aches and new pains, those I can laugh at.
I have once again failed to spend any of my Saturday lying in the sun reading magazines. I really thought that was one of my more achievable goals.
That's rough, Burrell.
I get all the discount places jumbled together in my head, but Ross is closest to my house, so it's where I'm more apt to go.
Thanks for all the compliments, folks!
Yeah, I'm not dealing well with the whole concept of aging thing.
I would agree with that assessment, Amy. I think Marshalls has better coats too.
I am about to go pace back and forth in my house because I am only 100 steps from hitting 20K steps today. Go fitbit? (Somehow "wander around stores, then run two miles, then walk to dancing, then dance, then walk to the hot dog stand, then walk back to dancing" added up!)
