Amy I'm so sorry I didn't get a chance to see your abstract and give feedback. But I agree that it looks good and hits all the notes you'd look for in an abstract.
So that's my dream. That and some stuff about cigars and a tunnel.

Got my groceries at the beginning of the delivery time frame, a nice girl brought them in to the kitchen, I gave her a nice tip commensurate with how much I didn't want to carry things up the stairs via Venmo. This future stuff is cool.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Bleah. I woke up a bunch of times during the night. Still, we managed to get to Fall for the Book to see hippo's panel.

Pumpkin is mad at me because the floors are wet and she keeps botching her leaps. And I'm a little annoyed because I have to pee...and the floors are wet. I'll go check on friends' cats and use their bathroom....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So, my father is dying. My mother called me from the nursing home yesterday, so I took half the day off work and went over there. Spent a bunch more time today, got all signed up for hospice (a little late, but OK), and now we just wait I guess.
For some reason, the hospice ordered us a priest, so that was kind of awkward and funny, and then the Protestant chaplain came too, so she offered to have a rabbi come tomorrow, which actually my father would love, but she was joking and we all enjoyed it.

Jesse, that's rough. I'm so sorry. I hope he's comfortable.

Thanks. Yeah, mostly, except they keep putting him in different positions he doesn't like. It doesn't seem like the morphine is doing much for him, but they were going to add ativan, I think.
And for gods sake, people, please continue to post about different things! I could use the distraction.

I made an apple crisp! But it's freakishly warm here (81 today), so it doesn't seem appropriate. Though Tim assures me that ANY time is an appropriate time for apple crisp.
We have a Halloween party tonight, and I am wearing my unicorn onesie, although it's fleece, so I probably won't be wearing it for long, what with it being 81 degrees and all, so I have to bring shorts and a t-shirt or something.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Jesse, I'm so sorry.

Wishing you peace, Jesse.
