Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

so this came up on my amazon search for socks.

Oh my stars and garters.

Hmmm. I can only wonder what a search on "garters" would have wrought.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh, msbelle, the temptation to ask about the glycemic index of those. But enough dietary bytes already.

I hope your grandmother gets clear of pain and infection both and soon.

Oh! The MacBook has finished charging. Adventure awaits.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Very successful yard sale, and great to see Theo, and....now I'm in the ER waiting room. My father was all worked up and she couldn't deal. Of course now he's fine. I'm hoping they get some ativan or something, because we could all use it!

Can they inoculate against anything dramatic happening? You guys totally need that.

So, hey, if I don't restore the image of my previous laptop I have the most recent version of OS X. But then I will be missing a number of things. DILEMMA. Ah, well. I can always cave and go back to old image...and I could always back this up too, huh? Okay, dilemma-ish.

Cass: I think it's a solar farm developer. Not without environmental consequences, but better than fracking, I believe.

Steph, I'd love to, but I'm a bit fried after traveling: I spent most of the day on the couch. Apparently touristing and vacating makes me want to hole up for a day or two.

I think it's a little ridiculous that we're here, but my mother couldn't think if anything else to do. I'm just watching Jeopardy.

Because books.

Is he still worked up, Jesse? Would his doctor prescribe some Ativan for times like this?

That sounds really cool, Consuela. Solar energy fascinates me.

Good news on the new Mac, ita.

No, he's totally fine now. I had called the Alzheimer's hotline, and the guy said redirect, and I guess driving to the hospital is pretty good for that. Maybe I should suggest they go to dunkin next time.... Of course now they are doing a ton of tests.
