So apparently my mom was better at communicating than I realized. Some buffistas may even remember, we were at brunch at an F2F (Pasadena, I think?) and I stepped away to check a VM from my mom. First words she said were, "I'm okay, but..." (First time in however long, I took a long weekend away from San Diego and she had a fall. But she was okay...)
I just think you're freakin' out 'cause you have to fight someone prettier than you.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Luckily, I haven't had any communication issues with my folks like the ones you've been describing. Not that communication with them is always easy, but those issues are either due to them both having hearing loss, or them forgetting that I am an adult who is perfectly aware what I need to do.

Hah, not leaving the island vs not leaving the hospital is indeed a big difference!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
To be fair, sometimes the immediate situation is hard to understand. A friend just had a health crisis in her family, and was getting conflicting information from different people, but it sounds like the situation was just changing very quickly! So the person who said, "She may never recover" was giving the information they had at that moment, and so was the person who said, "She seems fine!"
(It sounds like she will be OK.)

Jesse, hope the "seems fine" people have it right!
Ran home at lunch and got there just as the plumbers were finishing up; I have an intact water line again! (So far the insurance company has covered everything, fingers crossed they continue as awesome as they seem!)
And I have finally started submitting resumes! Only 3 so far, but it's a start. Definitely send the ~ma for that, please and thank you!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I was going to wish that I had peaches and a root, but we have ginger, so I do actually have a root.
