Much treatment~ma for your sister, Burrell.
Jesse, I hope things work out as well as possible for your parents.
Wow, you've really mastered the power of positive giving-up.

Our wings are not tired.
Best possible outcomes wishes.
Burrell, my friend started chemo about 6 weeks ago. She has many troublesome complications and it was difficult to feel hopeful. But she is doing so much better than anticipated. She is still a 97 pound weakling (my nickname for her), but her tumors are absolutely shrinking and she hasn't had any serious side effects. Cancer sucks and there is still a whole lot of science that needs to happen for real solutions, but the treatments have improved significantly.
I sincerely hope that your sister's treatment is effective and that it brings her relief.

My last rental was organized by a cancer survivor. I never would have guessed. She had the most gorgeous curly grey hair, and worked like a dog setting up and cleaning up, seeming to have the energy of someone twenty years younger than she was. There is hope and life on the other side.
Best of luck, Burrell.

Timelies all!
Hugs for all who need them.

Yes, all good! It was a freaky picture of a totally non-freaky situation.

It's nice, I intend to enjoy it while it lasts. A hummingbird is sitting at my feeder, waiting out the rain.
It's sunny now, but still cool in my office. I am cleaning...since it's been 90-105 in my office for the last two weeks.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Can I just say ugh. I woke up around 5:00 this morning to discover that either I ate something bad yesterday or I caught the stomach thing that was going around the office early in the week on delay. I felt better when I woke up again, and I really wanted to go to SF to see Maria, so I tested the whole up and moving thing with a quick trip to TJs. That didn't work all that well (boo), and then when I got home I discovered at least one of the menagerie is also feeling poorly.
At least which ever beast it was made it to the garage.

I am up and awake, but not sure what I want to do with my day. Or how to schedule it. I need to finish painting, gotta figure out if I need any more supplies or if I'm good.
And what should I make for the BBQ I've been invited to, tomorrow? They're making pulled pork.

BBQ beans or cole slaw. Or mac & cheese.

Ooh, mac&cheese might be a good idea. I looked again, they said they'd have potato salad and a green salad, so I emailed asking if they'd rather I bring cobbler, cupcakes, or a quinoa/bean side dish. The first two would be fun because I hardly get a chance to bake these days (don't have places to bring them and can't eat a whole batch myself!), and the latter would be good because I could leave some at home and eat off it. But mac&cheese sounds delicious also...
Things that are making me nuts: FRUIT FLIES. OMG. I feel like there are so damn many in teh house I could be running biology experiments! I have cleaned as best I could, and I put out a bunch of traps which have killed a ton of them, but there seem to still be a ton left. EW.
