This is so nice. Having everyone together for my birthday. Of course, you could smash in all my toes with a hammer and it will still be the bestest Buffy Birthday Bash in a big long while.

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Our wings are not tired.

I don't know what I am doing for Mother's Day after the 5K in the morning. I need to make a plan, but it hasn't happened.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Mother's Day in this college town equals Graduation Day. So I'm going to be hanging out around home, avoiding trying to go anywhere that would involve parking, which won't exist. Maybe I'll make cookies for the office. That seems like a good use of time. And it will remind me of Mom, who didn't much care for baking, but who was very good at it.

I got my wheelchair battery! Now I've just got to set it up, and find somewhere to go.

Made plans with some friends for a street fair that would be far too much walking without the chair, so I'll try get to try it out, and try not to run into too many people while figuring out how it works.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Good luck with the new transportation, Hil!

Thrive to spite them

Yay wheel chair battery.

I need to start taking over coordinating my family for things like Mothers Day woth all of us.

But Mom makes a passing remark to my brother and then doesn't follow up until I insist.

Anyway instead of having dinner we are having lunch. Kind of.

One again my brother is late for a meal. We said 11:30 to noon and he's going to be here "soon" .

ARGH. I was bringing my wheelchair out to my car, and one of the wires got caught on something, and a plug disconnected, and I think one of the little prongs of the plug broke off, and now I can't get it connected again.

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.

Oh, no, Hil!

I emailed the company to find out where to get it fixed.

I went to the food fest thing with my friends and used my walker, and made sure to stop and rest when I needed to, and it was fun, though tiring. And, looking at the connection that broke on my wheelchair, I'm pretty sure that I didn't fasten it correctly, though the instructions on how to fasten it didn't actually say how to do it, but that's why it broke. But, in any case, it's definitely something that can be fixed easily -- either straighten out the bent prongs, or just cut off the plug and attach a new one. Just need to wait for the company to get back to me to tell me where a certified repair place is, because I'm not going to void the warranty by taking it to a non-certified place before I even get to use it.
