Yow Tom! Hope you're feeling all right.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Ack! Tom! Take it easy!

The news that Tim is resting comfortably at home is great.

(Would you believe that I've only ever been hospitalized once in my life? I guess the streak is bound to end sooner than later given my age, but honestly, in this day and age it's kind of freaky.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ow, Tom!

I am so glad Tim is home and on the mend.

I am so excited for msbelle's move!

Tom, that sounds terrible.

I have never been hospitalized, nor has my mother or my uncle and they are 75 and 60. Well, I guess my mom was in the hospital when she had me.

I am sick with a cold/sinus thing, and it has been a week, but I am on the mend, so I still don't want to go to the doctor to be told there is nothing to be done. But my face hurts.

Tom, how are you feeling today?

Aidan came by today to help me take out the garbage,so I had to run around in the am to clean. He missed last week because everyone is snowed in and sick.

It is clear I can't function to have a clean home without this accountability. It was twice as hard this morning because I let stuff go. Two hours got it done, except dishes,but I definitely need to make a plan for when Aidan goes to college and/or is just a grown up. I don't think I can keep up without some outer accountability

Sophia - Having a cleaning service forces me to at least straighten up and put things in their place before the service comes. Otherwise I'll never find things once they leave. They may not clean as thoroughly/carefully as I would like sometimes, but the pressure on me to straighten up and the fact that they clean things like the shower that I hate to do, makes them so worth the money.

I spent the morning organizing and filing a bunch of stuff from when the kids were in elementary school and... I hate having teenagers.

Sigh. We should get a dog. (We do have a very puppyish cat.)

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Tom, how are you feeling today?

Well, I was never in much pain. After I face-planted onto a metal rail, I said to myself, "Oof, that's going to leave a mark". It was only after I touched my face and saw the blood on my hands that I realized I had to go get stitches.

Still, it stressed me out more than I wanted to admit to myself, so even after I got home I didn't get much sleep. Today I'm tired and depressed and sad and the sutures on my face aren't exactly subtle, and I have a black eye.

Our wings are not tired.

Time to practice saying, "you should see the other guy". I'm sorry, Tom. Can you take off some time to stay home for a bit while healing?
