We can come by between classes. Usually I use that time to copy over my class notes with a system of different colored pens. But it's been pointed out to me that that's, you know...insane.

Good news on the dentist, Sheryl. Have to put that on my list since I have been avoidant.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

After two and a half years, Matilda is back on a softball field again for a game.

She's one of only three girls on the team who played a lot of softball, and even they haven't played in a game since 2019, so I've been told this could be a little rough.

Nonetheless, I'm excited to see them back on the field.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Right on!

Thrive to spite them

YAY Matilda and softball.

Oh sweet baby jesus- I'm chatting with E and playing Minecraft and I realize he's kind of "singing" Ice Ice Baby-- I'm like...wha??? WHY? He tells me hasn't really listened to it in 3 years .. and asks what I have against it.

I wasn't sure where to start so I started with Vanilla Ice ripping off Queen ... "Who??" E asks. Who is Queen. Who is David Bowie. So I found a video of Under Pressure and sent him a link. E likes music but he doesn't really listen to music a lot (I was like that at 13) so I guess I can't be too gobsmacked he doesn't know Queen but he knew Ice Ice Baby before Under Pressure.

It should never be underestimated how much harder it is to care for a sick relative when they're fighting against you rather than along with you. Love and hugs to you, Kristin.

Oh, this. Yes. Thank you, Matt. And thanks everyone who offered comfort. I'm almost on the ground in Fort Lauderdale and have learned from Dad's friend that he doesn't want me to take him to any doctor appointments because it is demeaning. I just flew 3000 miles to be with him for them. It makes me sad and angry and just so full of grief. I extended this trip to Tuesday. I just don't know now if I'll be taking leave all at once or will have to do something staggered.

I hate all of it. Anyway. I don't hate all of you. It's Buffy's premiere 25th anniversary today, and I'm so glad that show, inadvertently, brought me all of you.

Ugh, Kristin. He’s so lucky to have a daughter who can and will help him. And even non-dementia people should have someone go with them to doctors appointments if they can—moral support and a more objective listener? Good luck.
