Damn, this tribute to Carrie Fisher. Ouch.
Yeah, that's ouchie.
This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
We accidentally bought the GF faux-matzo this year (because midnight shopping the night before ALWAYS works so well) and it turns out that it's way tastier than real matzo!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Huh. I did not get any because I still had two boxes out of the case I bought last year, but maybe I will try some next time I see it.

I just don't want to.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I was kind of shuddering at the thought of gluten-free matzoh, but then I remembered rice crackers, which are delicious. What are they like?
That all sounds promising, Steph. And remember you can basically go forever on "you'll be here until X, and then we'll see how you're doing." Or even better (depending on if this is compelling), "and then THE DOCTOR will see how you're doing."

I hope your FiL takes to the assisted living. I know it must have been difficult, but it sounds like it was the best outcome.
So today isn't a huge holiday in the US, right? Even though it's a very religious holiday, for some reason, it feels like one of the days where nothing is open. Sigh. I realized at 11 last night that I had no coffee in the house...but then I found I jar of instant that I use for baking. It wasn't bad. But since I put cream and sugar in my coffee, I can manage all but the worst coffees.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Damn, this tribute to Carrie Fisher. Ouch.
I don't want to try watching that before work. Bookmarked for later.
Steph, that it is coming from the medical professionals makes it so it doesn't feel like a betrayal from family.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
To echo WindSparrow- the Care Manager is/should be trained to help with that- I have been working on a training course for Care Managers for about a year, and transitions, coaching "reluctant" patients, and promoting self-management are what they are all about.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
GF matzoh actually sounds great, because the whole point of leavening is to develop nice long gluten strands that will make your bread light and bouncy. (Kind of like GF pie crust. Most of what makes pie crust tricky is all the things you have to do to avoid developing gluten strands. If you start with GF flour you don't have to worry about any of that.)

No, but I think schools here are closed.
