-t, now that I let myself remember (it was a tough time), this wasn't exactly a voluntary option: happened when the family member was residing outside the US, and the choices were at least 30 days in hospital rehab or a holding cell until the airport opened for a flight back to the US, with a ten-year ban on reentry. Given that their spouse and child wouldn't have been able to follow easily . . . .
Teppy, of course you're exhausted! The 5k on top of everything else, it's good you're upright. I am so jealous of the concert and hope you have a fantastic time.
The Elvis Costello concert is tonight
I saw EC play on his Spike tour. Great show - obviously he's got an incredible songbook that he can dip into, but also he always has fantastic musicians and knows how to engage with the audience. You're going to love it.
This is the right thread to hiss at the Daystar - the windows in this room face south, and the sun's come out. Ouch! Blinds are down now.
My sweet kitty Leo passed away today. I thought I would be able to be all stoic, but hell no, I cried and cried. The vet was really kind. It's strange, I guess, that of all the many pets I've had, I've never had to euthanize one before. I know he was dying and miserable and it was the right thing to do but it was so hard. My pretty kitty boy.
The other two haven't realized yet that he isn't coming back. The Gray Cat will miss him; they were snuggle buddies. Percy won't; they never got along. I will miss him a lot.
Steph, I'm glad your extraordinarily hard-headed brother is doing well.
Oh, Zen, I'm sorry. It's the last kind thing we can do for them, and it hurts so much.
I'm so sorry, Zen. It's so hard. {{{Zen}}}
Steph, I'm glad your bro is getting help and it's not all on you. Hope you enjoy the concert.
I'm so sorry Zen. It's so hard.
