Oh Liese, peace and comfort and strength, and all manner of loving thoughts.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I doubt there's anything I can do from where I am, Liese, but if there is, let me know. Even if it's just looking at maps or finding restaurants or anything.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Much whatever-you-and-your-family-could-use~ma, Liese. I'm sorry.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
So sorry, Liese. Much ~ma to you and your family.

Liese, wishing you a clear path.
My mom recently said that she always thought she didn't handle uncertainty, or the ground shifting below her feet constantly, well (and I'd have agreed with her) but that when it was thrust upon her with no out, (caring for my aunt in the hospital) she discovered she could handle it well and learned a lot else about herself and it was oddly liberating.
I mean, I get it. I don't like uncertainty or disruption, I love my ruts, but I've purposely thrown myself into it despite its discomfort (haaaates it) and I've always discovered something in myself from it. Sometimes it's been where to set my own limits after I've passed them, but mostly that my limits are way further out than I'd thought.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Much ~ma to you, Liese.

Oh, Liese, good thoughts to you and your family.

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

My tax refunds arrived, I've transferred them to savings and I've now restored my savings to what it was when I bought my house! Though less in checking the month I bought, but I think a lot of that was the parents' gift deposit. Online statements only go back 7 years, I can't check.
