OK, they found the hearing aid battery at the nursing home (with bite marks) so Mom didn't swallow it. She just ate part of someone else's hearing aid, but not the battery.
What? She killed 'em with mathematics. What else could it have been?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Hey, that sounds like you're doing a lot of good stuff, tommyrot! I think the mood/getting things done relationship can be a loop -- you start to feel better, so you can start doing things, so you feel better, etc.
Sorry about your mom, though.
OMG, that just reminded me of a horror story my uncle told about getting a bit of his hearing aid stuck in his ear.

Our wings are not tired.

Exactly. Getting the loop started is a great thing. I'm sorry about the mom issues. It is good that your sister is close by. I'm sure it is difficult for your sister to be mistaken for her aunt, but it is no doubt a comfort for your mother to have her "sister" visit.

Hooray -- my office is closing now! I'm even more glad I got my stupid reviews done.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Gary got the day off, but I didn't. They did let us leave 2 hours early, so here I am.

I am going to take some online computer classes to acquire some more cutting-edge computer skills. Like C# and maybe MS SQL SSAS and SSIS or more .NET stuff. Anyone have recommendations for online computer class sites?

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
My dentists and hygienists are always very nice people, so I feel bad for hating them as much as I do.
