It's been pouring here all day with more heavy rain forecast tomorrow (our backyard is a damn swamp right now), so I hope the books at flea's library are safe and dry.
And it's in the 60s, which is a crime against all warm weather-loving people like me. But rainy + 60s means I made chili for dinner, which was tasty. My chili recipe uses 2 cans of crushed tomatoes, which I completely forgot to buy. After rummaging in the pantry, I came up with a jar of mild salsa to make up for the lack of canned tomatoes.
I am here to tell you that mild salsa actually works in chili. Which makes sense, because salsa is tomatoes and onions and peppers and spices. Chili crisis averted! Though in the future I'll go back to the canned tomatoes.
And we watched Wreck-It Ralph like the grownups we are. (We had never seen it, and the trailer for the sequel looks great, so we wanted to watch Wreck-It Ralph before the sequel comes out later this year.) (Like the grownups we are.)
DH just called with his update and his sister's appendix had ruptured at least a day ago. Going to be much more complicated. She's going to probably be in for a week. Very dangerous. Please send the ~ma to my sweet Becky.
Yikes, Laura. Thank goodness she's in the hospital, though. Antibiotics can work wonders. Fingers crossed for her.
Yeah they have her on the heavy stuff but have to watch for abscess in case they have to do more surgery. She is a big woman which complicates. She had been in pain for days but has work and a 5 year old so waited too long. My zero pain tolerance got mine out in time.
Oh, man, Laura. All the ~ma!
Lots of ~healing ma for Becky! That's frightening. I hope she does well.
Oh man, Laura! Best thoughts to Becky.
(~mas and fingers crossed as needed and wanted.)
I'm skipping to say that, hi, buffistas? Shana tova. And may it be a better one than last year. Health and love and happiness to you and yours.
(I still don't know how my next year will look like, in any direction - I will move to another place and I will have to change job and maybe I'll study a bit and complete a diploma I neglected a few years ago and with the SO we're in the beginning of finding out if we need a break to figure out things because we now live in different cities - but I really really hope all of these changes will be for the better because these are a lot of changes all at once, dear lords).
That is a LOT of change, Shir. Wishing you the best outcomes.
Thank you. I am willing and prepared to 60-70% of these changes, I think. It is time.
