All, the -ma, askye.
It's going to be a little uncomfortable for you, but I know you have the skills and experience to make this work.
You know this job - way better than most people. You'll be fine if you can just slow things down.
That's not what making out sounds like -- unless I'm doing it wrong?

Work~ma, askye. Health~ma for your uncle and those around him, meara.
Man, I woke up at 2 am with disturbing dreams about serial killers. Not oddly hot Norse men either. Just schluby midwestern dudes who (spoiler font for disturbing content) liked to keep women in their attics and eat them. I was awake the rest of the night. Good thing I don't have to do much today except clean the apartment.

Definitely disturbing. The only odd detail I recall from my dreams last night is finding a lost novel by Mark Twain, about the English Civil War. Um?

Our wings are not tired.
Work~ma, askye. Also, what David said.
I'm sorry, meara. This disease is so devastating.
Our aunt who has been home recovering for months just broke her ankle in 3 places and just got back from surgery. That likely ends her hopes for ever working again, not that she should have been considering it anyway, but nurses are often dedicated fools.
My stay in Otter Lake is rapidly coming to an end. Son is settled into his apartment. No hope that I will have any relaxation time though. My last few days will be spent cleaning, organizing, packing, and closing up the place for winter. Grateful I had the 2 days in Maine. I should have relaxation time when I get back to Florida since I will be far more isolated there than I am currently in the mountains since I won't leave my house!

Laura, when do you go back home?

I hope things settle well for you in the new role, askye.
I'm sorry about your uncle, meara.
Late getting up this morning. Awaiting my coffee.

I understood that reference!
But yeah, those nightmares sound not good.
