Health~ma for your mother, Juliebird.
Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So I'm briefly locked out of my house - I was with my mother and she went to the store and I cane home, but for once in my life I didn't bring my whole purse! And equally unlikely, all the doors here are locked. Ah well.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Is it my misconception that "prodigal" gets used pretty consistently to mean "returning" rather than "profligate"?

You are a good daughter, Sue.
And yes, ita. Edit: I mean no. People use it that way all the time. Like they use Samaritan to mean helper.

It's pretty much a command performance Jesse. All my other siblings are wore out.

I am sure that there's going to be no wifi at the hospital. That will be the worst.

~ma to all the ailing parents.
I am just back from a lovely day with my parents. Scene on the Straits in the morning, where my mom bought a miniature. It's the first time she's bought art at one of these, but it's also the first time they've had miniatures. Then delicious lunch, then shopping at REI where I found a Trisuit in my size on clearance, hooray! And picked up some Eagle Creek packing paraphernalia that will make my gym-going experience better. Mom got some cycling clothes that she will probably not wear to ride a bike, but which will work just fine for hiking and are really cute. Dad got a new hydration pack, also IIRC from the cycling department but probably going to be used on hikes. Then a quick trip to Petco for hay for the rabbits, and then Trader Joe's because we were right there, and then an hour or two at their house having some tea and chatting. And them loading me up with some of the too many peaches and limes they've recently collected from their backyard trees.
Very pleasant all the way around!
And now I'm having a frozen dinner and settling in for an evening of recorded TV, which I expect to also be very pleasant.

I am not sure. I would not be surprised that people are using it that way, but I can't actually think of any instances. The phrase that comes to mind is "the prodigal returns", although I can't think of recent instances of that either.
