One task this weekend was to put seat-covers on the front seats of my car which were starting to rip in places. (Exposed metal in one place which was getting a bit ouchy on hot days)
Mal: How drunk was I last night? Jayne: Well I dunno. I passed out.

Our wings are not tired.
Nice, Gud.

I had a good morning driving Lyft, as in lots of miles and money.
Tomorrow, however, my longtime roommate is going in for heart valve replacement. She's in good hands with a surgeon who is well-known for his expertise in this particular operation, including finding out that one of her regular doctor's nurses is having him operate on her mother!
Still, heart operation, major anaesthesia, rib cage cracked open (and wired back together), et cetera and so on. I'm trying to keep positive, especially as the alternative to NOT getting replacement is a slow death, and a good outcome will be a major improvement to health and overall quality of life.
But still.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Best thoughts for your friend, Theo. And quick and trouble-free healing.

Scary stuff for sure, Theodosia. ~ma for your roommate.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Good vibes, Theo.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh wow, Theo. What hospital? (I think I know someone who is a nurse in that area in MGH, and could find out for sure if it would relevant and you would like it.)

No, the Mt. Auburn instead. Rosemary has got MIT Medical as a retiree (and they're really excellent) so they're using them instead.
(Wonderful localism -- some hospitals get the Proper Article, so it's The Mt Auburn, The Brigham, The Carney, The Deaconess -- but only for some of them. MGH and Beth Israel are exceptions.)

I have never said the Mt Auburn! (The rest of them, for sure.) But that would be how to distinguish between the hospital and the cemetery, at least!
Anyway, good luck to Rosemary.
