Also, you're only dealing with one or two other things right now!

So today I randomly ran across/into a story written by a long lost college friend (didn't even realize it was her at first) about how a village smuggled her toddler mom & elder siblings & cousins out of Nazi-Vichy France through various subterfuges & how she was later reunited with them& they came together to the States in '47. Her grandmother was arrested by the Gestapo right after she handed toddler-mom off to Resistance Underground. She was murdered at Auschwitz, as was her husband later.
20+ years ago, all N knew was her mother's life started at 7 in 1947 in Georgia after escaping France, dark hints from an aunt 16 yrs senior and weird memories no one understood. They've since met the people & decedents from that village & have a relationship & have learned the extraordinary measures those people took.
It's striking to me, now, as it was then, to feel that bit of history so close. Her MOM, just a few years older than mine.

Amazing story, sarameg. It makes me sad and angry how soon some people forget.
TCG is working until noon today. I have a headache hangover and plan on soaking in the tub as soon as he is home to take over parenting duties.

Ok, now to get through today's requirements before getting to today's fun!
Hoping I can maybe squeeze in a nap, lest I poop out before midnight.

I still have a good chunk of my Christmas cake in my fridge, so I thought I'd see if it's still even good, and... yep! Still good! Yummm.

Good news: Mom doesn't need to have surgery on her knee!

Yay mom of sj!
Just checking - we are all agreed that New Year's Steve is played by Chris Evans, yes?

Sounds good to me, -t!
We're staying in tonight and watching the Black Mirror movie. We might manage to stay awake until midnight, but I'm sure ltc will be up first thing in the morning. So, that might not be the best idea.
