ALso, next Thursday! That's so soon!
I KNOW. The linear progression of time is making me panicky.
Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

Also, "Park West" sounds super-fancy, like it should come with butlers and a snooty white family with a long lineage.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
I'm sorry, tommy.
Swanky apartments, shrift! I hope the search is as painless as possible.
I am back at work. Do not like. I have a feeling today is not going to be my most productive.
Also, I have to wonder what's up with the ATL airport. This is the third time in 2 months that my lock has either been missing or attached but unlocked when I'm transiting through that airport. No note from TSA saying they had to check my bag, and nothing's been missing. I am getting tired of buying replacement locks though. This doesn't happen going through any other airport. On my way out, I flew through Detroit and my bag arrived in Vegas locked. I am not looking forward to the complaints process with Delta.

Stumptown's not bad. I introduced a friend to coffee when she was in town a couple years ago, and that's where I took her.

This is true.
I quite like Stumptown, I visit every time I"m in Portland, but it's a little pricey and I have to order it and have it delivered, and they stopped grinding for shipment so there are expense and inconvenience issues. Stupid tastebuds, having standards. I need to ask my local shop if they ever had decaf beans for sale (they didn't last time I was in there, but maybe they sometimes do and would set some aside for me?)

I brought a salad for lunch, but I really want something hot. This is a problem when Chik-Fil-A is in the building.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Swanky apartments, shrift!
I expected the rent to be high, but that's astonishing.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'm sorry, tommy. Cognitive decline is the hardest thing to see a loved one go through, I think.
But she enjoyed it in the moment, so maybe you can focus on that too.
The moments matter.
shrift, them's fancy-looking digs! I hope you get a place that suits you quickly and easily.
Aging fast or slow: my face is aging slowly, thank you night-shift job in my twenties, but the rest of me seems to be on schedule, what with the rising markers of aging as I enter my 50s. Body, this was not the deal. We were going to remain 35 forever, remember? Man, I've just got to remain mostly intact until the cyber-revolution.
Also, I have to wonder what's up with the ATL airport. This is the third time in 2 months that my lock has either been missing or attached but unlocked when I'm transiting through that airport.
TSA has pawed through my stuff twice, and now that you mention it, I think both times were when I went through ATL. I don't bother locking my bags anymore; I just use a twist-tie to secure the zippers.
Coffee lovers in or passing through Nashville ought to check out Bongo Java Coffee. They'll mail you a bag too. It's good. I'm not even a coffee lover really, I just drink it medicinally.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I'm sorry, tommyrot. It's hard, but maybe you can find a way to shift your expectations. As others above have said, pleasure in the moment means a lot more when the moment is all you have. And the rest of it, knowing you visited, knowing she's being cared for properly, those are for you and your well being.
My visit to HMB introduced me to Philz Coffee, which is muy hipster but very tasty. Definitely a Bay Area thing, but I see they have an LA location too.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
But she enjoyed it in the moment, so maybe you can focus on that too.
My sister's coworker told her the same thing. And my brother agrees.
