Happy Birthday shrift!
I am back online after too many days with no internet access or TV signal in the new house. I would not recommend moving on a holiday weekend, for that and myriad other reasons. Still, got everything moved and the empty apartment cleaned and had a great New Year’s Day dinner out with my mom, my best friend’s wife, and my pseudo-nephews, all of whom helped immensely with the cleanup.
The cats are now cautiously exploring the house. They were like night and day—Jackson walked into the carrier of his own free will when I sprinkled a little catnip on the liner and stayed in for almost 9 hours before complaining, whereas capturing Molly was a 40-hour ordeal that saw me running to Urgent Care for infected cat bites after my hand swelled up like a cartoon character’s.
Bills’ player Damar Hamlin made what looked like a normal hit and got back up on his feet, and then just collapsed like 2 seconds later. The broadcasters said the EMTs were administering CPR. I don’t know if he went into cardiac arrest, but it sounds likely.
It sounds a lot like how Chris Pronger had his heart knocked into arrhythmia by a puck to the chest back in the late 90s. Scary stuff.

It's the most common way amateur baseball players die in America (since the advent of batting helmets): line drive hits the pitcher in the chest and causes cardiac arrest.
Thanks for the birthday wishes! I took the day off work and got in a nice, long walk in the park before the rains start again, finished a library book, made chicken pot pie, and assembled more of the 608 piece Lego Orchid I bought myself for my birthday.
That sounds like a lovely birthday, shrift.
Happy Belated Birthday, shrift! Sounds like you had a lovely day.
This is the first day so far in the new year that I don’t have anything to do when I drop off ltc at school. My house will be mine and I plan on journaling and reading and enjoying the quiet. And maybe doing a little bit of clean up. After having her home the whole week she was sick and then the whole vacation, I need a little bit of me time.
Excellent birthday plan, shrift!
Ah, nice recharge day, sj.
{{Sheryl}} I hope this year brings solutions.
{{{Sheryl}}} I hope you’re able to come up with a solution.
I’m so sorry, Sheryl, and I hate that there aren’t better resources in this stupid country for you and your kid.
I received a call from the school nurse first thing this morning that ltc needed her inhaler and couldn’t stop coughing. So, now I get to spend the rest of my day worrying about her. The cough from the flu can linger for 6 weeks or so according to her pediatrician.
We're getting ready for the big storm to hit. Heavy rains, flooding and high winds.
We're on a bit of a hill so I'm not too worried about flooding, but our drain at the bottom of the back stairs got overwhelmed the other day and looked scary as it filled up.
