Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Had a rather dull birthday. Busy at work all day, now just gonna hang at home. However, I DID wear my birthday present from my DH all day. We bought a new mattress and agreed that was going to be our anniversary/my birthday gift. To my surprise, he got me a Tiffany Key necklace. [link] I have always loved these but never thought I'd own one. It's quite my most expensive piece of jewelry, including my wedding ring. I am not usually a brand person, but I found that I kept telling people who complimented it today "It's from TIFFANY" in what I hope was not a really annoying way. I adore it.

Scrappy, that's lovely! And I'd be jazzed if I got something from Tiffany, too!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

My shrink just prescribed me gabapentin to see if it will help with anxiety. I... don't really want to take it, but I guess I'll give it a try. This will probably be my last attempt at finding an antidepressant medicine that works and doesn't have intolerable side effects. I'd rather cope with the depression/anxiety than toss medicine randomly at my neurotransmitters anymore. The devil I know is preferable.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Oof. I'm now at Perkins in Shawano.

My dad has pneumonia and sepsis from not being able to swallow correctly. He still hasn't woken up.

It turns out the ER folks in Shawano violated my dad's DNR order when they intubated him and sent him on to Neenah. So we're not sure what'll happen now. Maybe if he gets "better" we can put him in a hospice, as the nursing home can't give him an IV so he'll just get dehydrated again if he goes back. The hospital is going to see if they can wean him off the intubation tube in the next 24-48 hours. Otherwise they'll remove it and let nature take its course.

We're gonna take my mom to see my dad tomorrow. Her Alzheimer's is worse, so lately when she's visited my dad and he wouldn't wake up for him she's gotten frustrated and has wanted to leave right away. She doesn't see to understand the seriousness of his situation.

I'm so sorry, tommyrot.

Oh, tommy, I'm sorry.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

What a tough situation, tommy. I'm sorry.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I'm sorry tommy. It's hard, I know.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Oh, tommy. It's so much for you to carry.
