Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm not sure running a wire from the house to the car is a good idea if there's lightning.

Yeah, that sounds like a no. Sorry things are so hard! To you as well, Suzi.

I'm sorry about the pain, Suzi. I hope they can find something that works for you.

I'd be happy to give myself the shot, if it didn't cost $100 more.

I've been fighting the low red blood count, intestinal issues and the never-ending fever for so long. Come on, drugs. Start doing your damn job.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That pricing structure is appalling.

It's certainly ridiculous. Why is it less if I'm using the time of a nurse?

Our wings are not tired.

Absurd. Much like they will allow coverage of going to a hospital, but not home care. The whole medical system if messed up. But I know you know this very well.

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

Whereas I pay $150 per hospital visit, and nothing OOP for home care. Go figure. Not looking forward to inevitable change of insurance.

Death in the extended not-blood family. Trying to decide if I should try go back for the funeral. It helps distract from the fact that a (nother) long time family friend.

Condolences, ita.

And I think I forgot to actually type - I wish you some kind of relief, Suzi.

I was beginning to think I had some kind of anti-fountain field at work in my backyard as all three of my fountains ere not working although the pumps seem to go just fine, but I got two of them to start up again through diligent yet uninformed tinkering. Actually, the one started working when I was tinkering with the one that still won't work, so I don't even know what happened there. But I'll take it.

I suspect the fountains just wanted attention.

Perhaps. I do tend to neglect them.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

CJ ran to the store and his car died half way out of the parking lot. He got it pushed into a parking place, checked all the basics and I met him at the car to call AAA. I tried the ignition and it started right up. His theory is that Lucille (yes, that is his car's name) just needed some special attention.
