Daaaang, the first couple who saw the house the night before it listed? They're putting together an offer right now with their realtor, after finding out there's an open house tomorrow.
She growls?! You made her so she growls?!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That sounds about right.

Because books.
I am snarly and really wanting to start shit on FB about the national embarrassment-in-chief. I hope everyone who voted for him realizes their part in killing people in Puerto Rico.
Apparently I woke up as Dana this morning.
But I was a little snarly last night, too. I watched the first five minutes of La La Land, which I've never seen, and it infuriated me all out of proportion. I guess I wasn't in the mood for a musical.

Ok, I went and looked at the location of the problematic signage, and now I'm treating myself to Shake Shack.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Oh god, I just found 2 graduation cards from last spring (nope, not last, 2016!!) that I never sent off AND 1 from the year before (2015!). Jesusita I am often times a mess. OK, adding in a mea culpa note to each and getting these in the mail.
2 of these, I should note, are FAMILY.

Bee, at least there's pretty strong renter rights in DC?
Meara, the extra special tenant's rights in DC are mainly reserved for large groups of people in multi-family units.
There are lots of things single units are not protected from. I'm figuring what I can do. Which, right now, seems like not much.
I have to get through my hypnosis school in the next two weeks, so there is not a lot I can do.
Also, the dear friend I am helping through the dying process is doing really poorly. She weighs about 70lbs and cannot eat. And yet, her mind is perfectly clear. It's so sad.
Have any of you worked through recipes to help elders get optimal calories? I have to puree everything because she has am esophageal stent.
To be honest, I am not struggling to turn this boat around, but to keep her as comfortable as possible until her heart gives out.

I'm sorry you're dealing with all of that. Toward the end, I'm pretty sure my grandfather mostly ate ice cream.
And my father just gets regular food pureed.

I keep trying ice cream but it doesn't sit well.
The hospice nurse says that there are no empty calories, so I'm trying everything. So far, potato soup is the only thing that works consistently.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Scola, you did like nine times as much stuff as I did today. Don't beat yourself up.
