Hope you slept OK. How's she doing?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Yay Zhmayhems!
Laura, are you with your NY sister or in FL? In NY we are still experiencing “elective” surgery delays.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Happy Belated Birthdays to Pix and Maria!
Hooray, house-buying!
Also: GO BENGALS!

Our wings are not tired.
I slept pretty soundly since it was real late for me. I’m in Florida. Still no room available so still in ER. High season here so lots of overcrowding everywhere including hospitals. The straight back wooden chair sucks but better than a kidney stone. Morphine has her pretty out of it at least.
Feel so bad since her grandson and great granddaughter arrive tomorrow. At least maybe he’ll get a clue that she can’t travel and he should more often.

Bengals!! I was having my annual SB party, but I just told Judi we were watching the game even if on hospital. She doesn’t do football. All the nurses have their favorite team t-shirts on. Our nurses are Green Bay and Oakland.

Punishingly Intricate
Very excited for you, Zmayhems!!!
Hope your sister's surgery happens soon, Laura. She's lucky to have you there with her.
This radical change in temperature and, I think, affects of sitting by a firepit all evening are making my face hurt. I need a warm compress.

My uncle D passed away from Covid today. He leaves a wife of, 3 daughters, and 3 grandkids. He was a stern man when I was younger, and I was always really intimidated by him, but in his later years he really got into gourmet cooking and I was able to have conversations with him about that and about books.

My condolences, sj.
Fingers crossed all goes smoothly at the hospital, Laura.
Like a crazy person I went to Kroger this morning to pick up a few groceries. If I hadn't been at the end of my soda supply I'd have waited until tomorrow, but at least now I have drinks, chips, avocados, and cat food. It was as one would expect, including traffic snarls, people racing in the exit doors against the flow of outgoing shoppers, and witnessing a near fight in the parking lot over someone abandoning a cart at the edge of the pedestrian crosswalk.
