Matilda's school bestie says "Yassss!" for anything she loves, but "NOT Yassss!" is her negative.
And Double-Plus NOT Yassssss for something really, really bad, I assume?
This is my boat. They're part of my crew. No one's getting left. Best you get used to that.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

oh no, Allyson! I'm so sorry.
As for decor choices for Casa Zmayhem, can I recommend the Alameda Vintage Fair? I went last weekend and there was so MUCH stuff there, especially if you are into mid-century modern. Also just a lot of everything. Rugs, tables, chairs--so many chairs--prints, glassware, vinyl, clothing, linens from France, lots of various kinds of art, and tons and tons of tchotchkes.
I suspect it might be worth it for y'all to rent a van and get over there on the first Sunday of April, early, and you can really clean up.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Ooh, thanks, Suela! I already got us tickets for the Oakland Museum white elephant sale, which is happening again for the first time since 2019 and should have a TON of stuff.

I've not heard it go that far! She's mostly very positive.

I visited Papa yesterday, and he was in a ton of pain and it was so stressful. But they were able to get him some relief for the pain last night. They're moving him to a rehab facility today with more visiting hours. So it will be easier to go there and see him without having to have someone pick up ltc from school etc.

Our wings are not tired.
The rehab facility will likely be more restful for him too. Good that it will be easier for you to visit him. I'm sure it helps him a lot.

The lender has funded the loan, which means we are now Fully Chonky with finance and the title will transfer this afternoon.
It's been a weird couple years.
