Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

Springtime (or impending springtime) is time for a new cherry skirt, right? [link]

You need that skirt!

Our wings are not tired.

You absolutely need a new cherry skirt!

I really need my sister to get moved to rehab. I've been here a week and really need to go home. My body hurts from bad hospital chairs and the lack of my own bed. They are looking for a spot somewhere and doctor really wants to get her out of here. All she does is sleep all day and rehab won't let her get away with that crap. She can't go home as limited as her mobility is right now. Ugh.

Oh, that's a good one, Tep!

Sorry the move to rehab is not going smoothly, Laura. Hope it happens soon!

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

You need that skirt!

I, in fact, ordered that skirt!

One of the boys in her class continues to be a problem, and he is putting his hands on her without her permission (pushing down her shoulder etc) and telling her "too bad" when she tells him that she does not like that.

Not acceptable at all! I hope LTC's teacher resolves the problem quickly and completely.

Good thing, because that skirt needed YOU.

Rehab getting-in-to-ma for your sister, Laura. And getting home soon -ma to you.

Matilda is awesome, and I'm glad that is widely recognized.

Chocolate and raspberry, yes. I got some great raspberries a couple of weeks ago, but none since then. We're currently on clementines and pears over here.

My whole day is three onerous tasks, but I'm plowing through them. My WFZoom-mates are getting periodic updates so that I stay focused.

I have to head over to campus in about an hour. It's been a couple of years since I spent any time on the campus of the university where I allegedly work, and I'm kind of looking forward to seeing it. And they are taking vaccination and masks seriously there. Still, lots of humans, breathing in my general vicinity. Suboptimal.

Oh thank you so for the quick working ~ma. She is to be moved to Rehab in about 1-1/2 hours. I'll go home tonight! My brother has to take over now.

Yes!

Glad to hear that, Laura.

Yay glad to hear that Laura! I’ve heard it’s been hard to find nursing home and rehab beds so fingers crossed it works out as planned! And that you get some restful comfortable sleep.

TGIF y’all.

Also, dancing is back tonight!!! So of course I gave myself a blister walking the dog in the wrong shoes yesterday, oops. But I think it’ll be fine. Now to spruce up my hair, too….
