Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

We got a crockpot as a wedding gift, and have used it a handful of times. Mostly to make chili, but I did make oatmeal one time last year.(Note to self: check the box of rolled oats to be sure it is still usable.) I bought a cookbook for slowcooker recipes, but haven't really used it.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

All good thoughts and prayers to your mom and to you, Anne. I'm glad she has you.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

My shoulders and neck are killing me. I really wish I had some better pain management for days like this.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Anne, is she ready to make any kind of plan? I don't know what it would be, but it sounds like some long-term changes are in order....

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

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

In this area. There is a group called. SAVE. That deals with all kinds of domestic violence issues. Even if your mom isn't ready to deal wirth it directly, you might look for a group like that for advice.

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

I'm glad you're there for her, Anne. Sending ~ma.

I am out of sorts today. The world is too much with me. Winter is coming. Something wicked, perhaps.

Ow, crap. My living room is really cluttered, but I can't really clean up with my shoulder this bad. Just tripped over some of the clutter, put my arm out to stop the fall, and hurt my shoulder worse.

Oh Anne. Hope she is okay.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I think right now, Mom needs to get over some physical and mental exhaustion before she can start making any kind of decisions. She's asleep upstairs right now, and Finn has been keeping her company.
