There is often an age limit where they can opt out preemptively-was just talking about this to my mom. At 69, she's not yet eligible in NM, but they've got a monthlong window where you have to call up everyday and she has a hernia surgery scheduled in that window- after she had to defer because of travel. And she had the same problem a couple years ago . It's like they find a warm body and weight it.

You might also cite medical.

And don't feel bad. I mean, my dad basically detailed a possible stroke in email to mom and it took him 2 weeks to see a goddamned doctor, even with us hectoring him ( and he kinda didn't talk to me for a bit..) It's hard.

Oh, lisa, I'm sorry. I remember her.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I think I did the math once on LA County jury summons and you have a good chance of being called annually.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

She'd held on pretty well, more or less, even after it metastasized to her brain a couple of years ago.

Cancer is so brutal. I'm particularly hateful of brain cancer. I'm sorry.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

It's 74 degrees F and 53% humidity. Perfect weather.

And I went "gack! That's so humid!" That's the difference with a desert.

Ahahahahahaha.

I'm so sorry, lisah. I'm glad she got some time after the cancer metastasized to her brain, at least. Fuck you, cancer.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Oh lisah, I'm sorry. That's hard.

Also this.

I've been called for jury duty about 3 times since moving back into this house.

And Consuela, I send you much ~ma. I've been in the place where you are now, dealing with one aging parent and then another. It's so hard, and you handle it with such strength.

Heh. There's a reason I didn't walk the dogs tonight (and oh how I wish that noun wasn't now plural), and I've already had an extra glass of wine.

SIGH.

I think I need to go watch some Stargate...

I'm running through my Stargate: Atlantis discs. Plus I've got lots of NCIS and Dirty Jobs and 2 seasons of Bones.

Sometimes the extra glass of wine helps. A lot.

The extra glass of wine is sometimes the crutch we need. For a night.
