I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

I am not enthusiastic about Monday but am startled and disturbed how old Matilda is. My god. I mean I knew. But. Dang.

I love that for a birthday date!

Glad you're feeling better, Trudy.

Hope Brendon gets to hit the pike soon.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Happy birthday to nearly-grown Matilda.

I hope everyone is on the mend!

Today is kind of perfect weather here, after some cooler days, and a coworker and I met on our way into the building this morning both sweating like pigs! We were ready for a crisp fall morning, not muggy last gasps of summer.

Apparently if you're enough of a power nerd, there is nothing that cannot be flowcharted.

It's perfect fall weather here, so I have pumpkin bread in the oven while I work.

Mmm, that sounds nice.

Epic, thanks for the update! That all sounds reasonable promising.

Yeah, Epic, other than the mystery fever, that all sounds very favorable!

Pumpkin bread update: REALLY good. It has a nice little bite of ginger. My day is autumn-tastic.

Punishingly Intricate

Thanks for the update, Epic.

I’m in the ER waiting for my Dad to get admitted or let go. At least they let my Mom go sit with him in their triage area. It’s very busy here today. Wish I’d brought my book. (His blood pressure was very low this morning.)

Our wings are not tired.

Health~ma for your dad, lisah. I'm glad they let her go with him.

Thank you for the update, Epic. That sounds encouraging. I'm glad you followed up with the doctor on the fever. With reduced immunity you are better off double checking. Another step forward in your treatment plan. The ~ma continues to be sent in a steady stream.

Book club tonight. I noticed my neighbor's farm stand has butternut squash so soup is in my future, and maybe other stuff as it looked like she had a good crop. She had a bunch of pumpkins too, but I really haven't cooked from fresh pumpkins before, despite loving them in general. Going to check out some recipes though. Also, check out what else she has that I couldn't see from the road.

Good update, Epic. Don't mess about with fevers.

Stay hydrated.

Onwards!
