I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I TiVoed the Hamlton documentary and will be watching it this morning. First, an oil change and grocery shopping. I've been obsessed by the musical since last fall and got the CDs for Christmas.

Sarameg, I hope your mom's memory issues can be easily resolved.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yikes, sarameg. My sympathies. It's hard for you and super scary for them, and you hope that at least that fear doesn't show up as anger (as it did for my mother). She will need more support going forward, and patience and understanding.

Yeah, that. Of course, in my family it was my father with dementia, but my mother was still the angry one....Let's hope it's just sleep apnea or something else that can be fixed.

Instead tonight I went to a live recording of Pop Culture Happy Hour, with special guest Mallory Ortberg! It was hella fun.

billytea, the CD does come with extensive liner notes, but they were also made available as a PDF at some point, so I have that if you need it.

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

Timelies all!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Thank you for that! I'm sure we'll be ok just using the internet until such time as we can get the CD.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

sarame, what a tough situation. I hope that your mom can find a doctor who is keen on listening and sharp with the diagnostic ability.

Laura, I don't think I said good thoughts to you and your mom, but I thought them!

Our wings are not tired.

I am hanging out at the hospital now. It isn't good. They put her on a ventilator because of her respiratory issues. She has been unresponsive since the respiratory failure at 3:30 this morning. Her doctor says to give her 24 hours to see what happens then we can talk about doing neurological tests. So just hanging out. I sent my husband back home because he has his own family issues and needs to take care of stuff while I stay here. I'm okay. It isn't like a huge surprise considering her age and the issues she has had the last year. Just waiting to see if she can pull through.

Oh Laura, I'm so sorry. You and your mom are in my thoughts.
