Yes, I like that idea.
I like money better than people. People can so rarely be exchanged for goods and/or services!

Good that you're doc is recognizing your need, ND, but awful the stressors causing it.
I'm glad the scheduler got you sorted right, Hec. Geez, man.
You are not alone! Something about it just makes me cringe.
Yes! I am in good company, then.

Oof. I have no idea how my sister has been doing it just physically getting mom moved around—she can barely mumble a word or two and has no strength in her at all—can barely move her arms, and can’t sit up on her own. Meanwhile the cancer doc, when my sister called earlier today asking if the appointment Monday could be telemedicine they said no it had to be in person. We will likely cancel as there’s probably not anything they can tell us and I’m not sure how we’d even get her there. What a shitshow.
My brothers flight got canceled so now he’s coming tomorrow, we are wondering if she’s just waiting on that.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Oh, meara, I'm so sorry. It's so hard, but it's good that you're there.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Damn, meara, that sucks so much.

Meara, I'm so sorry. That's so hard and awful and I just wish I knew what to say besides I'm thinking about you.
----- Unrelatedly, it's 2 a.m., and I'm WIDE awake for no good reason. I'm pretty sure it's the Excederin I took to deal with my headache. I knew when I took it that it was too late in the day and I'd regret it, but nothing else works for me when I have one of those headaches. I don't have to get up in the morning technically, but pets will demand to go out and be fed at 6:30/7, so it's going to be a short night of sleep.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'm so sorry meara, that sounds impossibly hard.
And this summer is her bucket list trip of driving up through the US into Canada and the Yukon Territory up to the Arctic Circle (she crossed into the Arctic Circle on Tuesday) so she can jump in the Arctic Ocean.
This must be a Cincinnati thing because it sounds exactly like something my grandfather would have done. (He would have jumped in naked)

Thinking of you and your family, meara.

Our wings are not tired.
Holding you in my heart, meara.
