I had the exact same quiet freakout, dcp. Maybe they should hand out a vocabulary sheet at check-in!

Yup. My dad too, a few years back at the VA. They throw that word around way too casually given how vaguely understood it is.

We had another home visit with Mr. S. It was a little shorter, as we went to the Gaithersburg Book Festival in the morning, then drove up after lunch to get him. No running off this time, but we still have a lot of difficulty getting him to go to bed. I just don't know what his issue is with bedtime...

Always Anti-fascist!
I never looked forward to it, either, but I had a little brother to get in stupid fights with(and limited capacity to bolt) so it's different.

Ah, the feeling of looking directly out the window as your motion-triggered floodlight turns on, and seeing nothing moving at all.
Plans to watch horror movie tonight now abandoned.

I could never watch a horror movie living alone! Even with the dog now.

Just got back from a lovely weekend in Mendocino with my sister & her daughters. It's been a long time since I was in purely tourist mode, and we had some great food, went hiking, saw beautiful plants, and generally had a fine time.
