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.

I'm sorry for your loss, sj.
I am out of eggs, but I can get them at the tiny Vietnamese grocery around the corner, which will not be mobbed on this or any other day.
I got a last-minute invite from some old work friends to go to lunch in Healdsburg yesterday, so I went. My back didn't love over three hours in the car, but it was great to catch up with some people I haven't seen in a long time, and then I got to see my old boss's house, which is ... just too much.
For those who know the Bay, it's on top of a hill above Dry Creek Valley outside of Healdsburg, and it started small but then they doubled the size: it's all red tiled floors and hammered copper sinks and imported antique lighting fixtures, barrel vaulted hallways, Persian rugs and leather couches. It's completely over the top but they're so happy with it. And they invited me to stay sometime, but they're also completely committed to parenting their cats so that's a non-starter for me.
Still it was lovely to see them and learn that there is no way I'm ever living there: next week they're having a prescribed burn on the property, and the 2020 fires came 1500 feet away from the house. Not to mention the 20 minute drive to get milk or eggs...

I am so sorry sj. I was able to connect with my curmudgeonly uncle before he passed, over just curiosity about family history, and I am glad.

Ha, Bojangles works. I'm just really settling down to watch now. It has been on but I haven't been able to pay attention. Go Bojangles!
My sister is sooooo much better. Still ouchy, but no more morphine and is in actual good humor. So relieved. Thank you for all the ~ma sent.
