Happy birthday (again), Tom!
Suzi, it sucks being stuck without a car and having to be the one making sacrifices.
Consuela, ~ma for your dad.
I had to put on outside clothes and leave my apartment to get a haircut. I'm tempted to stay inside and watch hockey, but the sun is out and I feel like I should take advantage of it while it lasts.
I have developed a cold in the last 24 hours that's so far just a persistent cough and a fever. Thanks to the cough, I got 4 hours sleep at the most, so I have been useless today. Also, I am reading a biography of Keats, so I keep making consumption jokes.
Man, Call the Midwife kills me. Tackling
thalidomide
while giving post partum mothers a smoke.
I KNOW RIGHT? It's such a satisfying cry, though.
Man, I don't think I'm up for CtM these days. Watching GBBO right now, and then to bed. Tomorrow we may decide if Dad goes into hospice.
We're managing, but I suspect I'm going to fall apart at some point.
I'm so sorry Consuela, sending lots of love and strength for whatever you must face.
It's just hard, Consuela. I'm sorry.
Lots of love to you, Suela.
My dad's funeral is tomorrow (11 CDT). We've been doing well so far, but it's going to be tough. A couple of his siblings are coming in from Hawaii. Super small family service. And then in a year or so we'll take his ashes home to Hawaii.
I'm sorry Consuela. It's hard. You've been in my thoughts.
