Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

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

came back to see the dogs in opposite corners of the living room each with one half of the sandwich.

Bad puppies!

"Locked Out of Yoga Class" sounds like a lifestyle piece in NYT.

We're having coffee and tea and pastries in our hotel room this morning before we head over around 8:15. We'll find out the results of the scan this morning.

JZ has been sleepy sleepy sleepy on this round of meds but she's up and perky this morning.

Well fuck. My mom has been having some trouble with her diabetes lately despite trying some new meds, and lost a bunch of weight on one of them and was feeling awful but her blood sugar was finally ok …ended up at the hospital last night and probably has liver and pancreatic cancer. Fuuuuuvk. This is especially bad because (a) my sister no longer lives nearby and (b) we fully expected my mom to outlive my dad (who is in terrible health and has been for 20 years, and really can’t care for himself). Fuck.

Oh, meara, I'm sorry.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Holy shit, meara, I am so sorry. There just aren't any words for this fuckery. The author has definitely lost control of the plot.
