Dana, I basically had no internet at my parents' house this weekend and I read about 5 books. Granted, three of them were Avatar the Last Airbender trades, but they're pretty long.
And boys -- let's watch the swearing.

I don't know if I know anyone (other than possibly my father, because one needs to do that) who's ever been to Lesotho.
You know me! I went to Lesotho, er, [does math] ... 12 years ago? Good lord. Anyway: Have fun, Jesse!
I think there was other stuff I wanted to comment on, but, no brain.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Lesotho-ers, come out of the closet! I want to be jealous of you.

Oh, dear. I am unprepared for these oatmeal chocolate cranberry (low gly) cookies. What are the symptoms of oatmeal poisoning?

I look more rad than Lutheranism
All my good-health-for-dads vibes are going to your dad, Maria.
What are the symptoms of oatmeal poisoning?
Happiness? Pooping on the regular? Begin to look like the guy on the Quaker Oat container?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Hahaha! The surgery gods are laughing at my family this week. My nephew has to travel to Halifax for surgery to try to repair a severed tendon tomorrow, my sister (not his mom) has sinus surgery on Thursday in their town. Today my dad got a call that his long-awaited corneal transplant is going to happen Thursday in Halifax. At least my bro and family are already on the way here, so they can transport my dad. But my sister has to have someone with her after the surgery, so that's my other sister's job. And I get to be my dad's caretaker. And possibly my mom's, since she's got dementia and can't be left alone. Yikes!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ay yai yai, Sue! Good luck with all of that.
And best of luck to your father, Maria.

It's like a game of Tetris with people, trying to figure out who's going to be where and who can do what.
