Mom is being released from the hospital today. She's just zipping along in terms of general recovery. She has to be unbelievably careful of the incision until it heals -- the amount of precautions she has to take is enormous -- but she's already taking small walks at a fairly decent pace (a moderate stroll, let's say) with someone keeping her steady. And doesn't have any pain. How wild is that???
There's something about a food that moves all by itself that gives me the heebie-jeebies.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That's amazing, Steph! Good for her.

That is wild, Steph - I'm so glad she's healing so well.
It is 82 degrees in my office and throughout the library and the jerks in Building Services are in no rush to help us out. I am melting, and I have a meeting with the Dean at 10:30. I bet his air conditioning is working, though.

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.
Yay, Steph's mom! Wonder Woman powers might run in th family.
Sparky, maybe the dean will give ice cream? Yeah, I didn't think so either, but putting the idea out there for the universe to deliver to him can't hurt.

Yay, Teppy's mom!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
You guys, my baby sister went to the Tony's last night, and her show (Great Comet) won for lighting and scenic design!!! (Personally, I think it also deserved to win for choreography and lead actress, but it's tough being an ingenue going up against Bette Midler.)

Good job mom!
So yesterday I was in Riverdale at a memorial/garden party with Gord Downie. There's a sentence I didn't expect to put together.
(Also present: a trombone, harp, violinist (my sis), teenage alt-rock band, "take me out to the ballgame" flash mob, release of several hundred goldfish into a koi pond system, and a bagpiper and Scottish dancers who led a procession of children through the neighborhood, with a route that went through someone's house.)

Man, I see a tweet and think of a William Henry Harrison-based reply and see that five people have already done it. How obscure do you have to be to make a unique take on Twitter?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Wow Jessica! That's terrific!
I am back at work and looking at a whole 5 days of working this week and not liking it. Also forgot my morning meds. So Monday, very coffee.

Wow, Jess, that's exciting!
