Woo hoo, Gus Kenworthy just came in 4th in the first qualifying run of the Men's Ski Slopestyle despite a broken thumb and bruised hip!

Is the hematoma on his hip? That sounds really painful.

Nick Goepper is from the part of southeastern Indiana that Greater Cincinnati claims as part of the tri-state area. So people around here are pretty excited about his slopestyle run.

I'm back from day-drinking! I haven't done that in a looooong time. Went on a wine and shopping crawl in a cute historic town square with my girlfriends; it wasn't warm, but it was sunny and 50, so pretty comfortable. I got a sparkly antique butterfly brooch for my coat lapel for $3.50 and we ended the day by stuffing our faces with enchiladas.

Dropped the deposit off with our new landlord before I went. Moving March 15!!

I am giving up the backyard pool, but am gaining $275/month, our community pool is nice, $180 for a family summer membership and still only a mile away and I will finally, after 10 years of genuine mourning for my decent bathtub-less existence, will finally have a proper deep bathtub for wet hot naked slounging. (Part-otter is a fair take!)

Bet your ass I'm buying some Lush bath bombs for use that first night post-move!!

I am so exasperated with my mother right now, I cannot. I know it's the memory anxiety, etc. But give me fucking flight dates you asked me to book , stop looking at flights you ASKED ME to book, stop booking lodging you asked ME to book. I have proposed, numerous times, the same plan. Agree or say no, not undecided, or I'm quitting this gig.

It'll all be fine in the end, and I was the patient one on the phone(screaming inside) while my dad hung up & went for a mad walk. We'll see if they're still mad tomorrow.

This is coping with aging parents. Mom's short term memory blips means she's more anxious as well as impulsive. And she forgets more when anxious, including the tasks she's offloaded TO BE LESS ANXIOUS. It's an ouroboros.

I don't mind getting the occasional invitation to screen pre-release movies, but this one does not look like something I would enjoy. [link]

I've had a headache since Wednesday that has been unrelenting in the face of ibuprofen and narcotics. Doesn't help that my cough won't let up either. But seriously, how is it not gone.? It isn't a migraine.

When I cough a lot, the muscles all over my head get so sore, it's a monster headache. Could this be it for you?

This afternoon has been better other than trying to use my bum foot to stop a fall. But headache-wise, better. I think it had been a combo of the cough and barometric changes.

Is the hematoma on his hip? That sounds really painful.

Yep, the announcers said it was painful for him just to stand. Ultimately he didn't win a medal in the event, but it was fun watching him compete.

That sounds hard, sarameg. For all of you.

Can't say that teaser trailer is very enticing, aurelia. Like the cast, though.

Timelies all!

Mr. S is being very clingy towards daddy lately. Which means he get fussy and cries when Gary's on a program item. I've had to take S out of the room several times this con. Sigh....
