I used to drive stick and drink a diet coke and smoke on my way in to school, while taking out the hot rollers I had put in before I left. Make-up was done at home, though. Ridiculous. Now, I pull over if I have to touch my phone to fiddle with GPS -- a couple docus about the dangers of distracted driving, and I was convinced.
Also, the older I get, the more I mute just mute my phone. Amazing how quickly I got jaded once I finally had a Communicator for real. Maybe I'd be still be psyched if there were a spaceship to talk to.
Glad she is doing okay, Burrell. I hope the freaking out is temporary.
I hope all goes well with your sister, Burrell. Yeah, home health nurse is a way better option! I hope that notion gets through.
Has anyone said that to her explicitly?
Yeah. I can understand the freakout, but sometimes unappealing bad is better than worse lurking around the corner.
However, there is at least one nurse to maybe avoid...
So apparently someone made a post ABOUT Good Stuff that is being reblogged, but I can't find it! And we've doubled in followers.
I understand the freakout of.... "If I can't take care of it myself, I should be somewhere else!" I mean, it's why Grace was at Totally Kids for so long because the thought of her being vent dependent and at home and the possibility of intensive at home care was too overwhelming.
And skilled nursing facility is not necessarily so bad, either....just depends on what and where and how.
In other words, your poor sister, Burrell.
Right now, we have people over. The women are out in the backyard with alcohol and chatter. The children, all five, are in the living room with various distractions including screens and books. I'm hanging with the kids -- it's where my laptop is as well as my air conditioner.
Well, Jesse, your tumblr is AWESOME.
Could it be that it was featured on Huffington post...almost four weeks ago?

What?? That is also crazy.
I could not do it without you people -- I never find good new stuff to post on my own!
I know I've used "it's all downhill from here" to mean this is where it gets easy, but also "the day went downhill" to mean everything got worse. Very context dependent.
