I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

Thanks Kate! We have a commode but as of yesterday gave up on getting her to it and have diapers and pads for the bed. Hospice came before I got here Friday but mom apparently refused (and said they could come Monday, which ??). Sister and I were talking before she left to pick up brother about calling again today.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I'm sorry, Meara.

Mr. S is here for an overnight visit. It's been interesting so far.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Oh meara, My heart aches for you.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

She sounds very independent. Spunky. Reminds me of a certain meara…

Hang in there.

I am so sorry, meara. Strength to you and yours.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I woke up and chose violence to make French toast with blueberry compote. There was a restaurant nearby that used to make a terrific version of this, but they didn’t survive the pandemic. But I had stale bread, blueberries, and a mighty craving.

I hope your mom is more receptive to hospice help tomorrow, meara.

Choosing French Toast is the opposite of violence!

Yeah I was gonna say that sounds pretty darn good!

My poor sister—just wants to get home as quickly as possible so of course there’s been a huge fire that collapsed part of I95 in Philly where she is headed. May be a very slow time for her, with 95 closed traffic will surely be awful

Our wings are not tired.

Yikes, your sister doesn't need that stress. Also, scary fire!!
