That's a really unpleasant position you are put in, Consuela. I'm so sorry.

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

sj, I'm so sorry about your in-law problem. It never fails to amaze me how awful people can be sometimes.
I have to take Sara for labs to see if she has mono, since the strep test came back negative. She has literally every symptom except fever, so I'm not actually sure what the point is, since there are no meds for it anyway. She is 100% aching wet dishrag right now.

I missed a call from the cardiologist's office. I don't want a cardiologist. I haven't even had the tests yet, that's on Monday. I can't do the endless cycle of doctors visits again, especially by myself (I won't make FauxSon go with me for anything other than anesthesia events, he's got enough grief in his life).

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
H and I have been accompanying each other to appointments for a while--with lunch and possibly a movie, or dinner afterward, depending on time of day. With him gone for a year, I postponed most of the annual things, and avoided going out at all unless absolutely necessary. There are no people here to "do lunch" with or meet for a movie matinee. And it's not pleasant for me to attempt those things solo.
Should anything happen to H, I forsee me accumulating a number of cats and shopping exclusively online or by phone and just blowing off my eye, teeth, and medical appointments.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
And now I am reminded that I need to make an appointment for a mammogram.

The Bell Tolls for Whom
I sent a link to this to my mom who has been reading about how language changes and telling my dad not to be so hidebown and lecture-y about grammar and she responded "Right on!"
I have never heard my mother actually say "Right on" IRL, it is weirding me out a little. I guess she is embracing the paradigm shift.

I have my fingers crossed for you (and everyone else), Consuela.
