I'm so sorry, msbelle. Love and comfort to you and everyone who loved her.
Matt, that's hard to hear, I'm sorry, and also I'm glad it sounds very treatable.
Watching the birds this morning.
Zoe: Uh huh. River, honey? He's putting the hair away now. River: It'll still be there... waiting.

Our wings are not tired.
I am so sorry, msbelle.
Health~ma with a side of quick and effective treatment for your mom, Matt.
Also some steady~finger~ma sent your way, JZ. The exhaustion can manifest in so many different ways.
Sorry about the extra steps, and extra food delays, but yay for other side of the world sporting adventures!

One week in the Adirondacks. I'm still camped out at my sister's because my bathroom isn't functional yet. I did pick out the most beautiful tile for said bathroom yesterday. They say a day or two because the toilet won't go in until the floor is done, and no flooring until the walls are done. Sigh. They are putting in a heated floor, so my toes won't freeze when I get out of the shower in the morning. So many cool super nice elements in the new abode.
DH has gone nuts with the kitchen. Nifty oven that even has 'no preheat air frying', and all manner of features. A dishwasher, which is a crazy level of luxury in a summer cottage. Very happy to have the propane stovetop and tankless water heater, because they will make my life very pleasant. He even is putting in an actual furnace thing so no more little space heaters around the place. Hard to imagine when it is so warm now, but summer doesn't last long here.
The new septic system also involved burying the pipes deeper, and they replaced most of my water lines with flexible stuff instead of copper so less likelihood of bursting in freezing weather. We will still drain the water before I leave for Florida in the fall.
This concludes my construction update!

Sounds like it's coming together beautifully!
We're packing up the hotel to head to the hospital. We've got a 1:30 flight and a tight schedule at the hospital so will need to have them speed up the pump. Always a little stressful when you have to squeeze one element to get the flight schedule to work, but it should be okay.
Really eager to be home again, and there's no later flight so...have to make it happen.

Oh good, we got the easy going Russian nurse who took us early and is happy to help us get out of here on time.
When the charge nurse says “Here’s your 11 o’clock” and it’s 10am your nurse isn’t obliged to be that flexible.
Sigh of relief.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm so sorry, msbelle. What a hard time.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I'm so sorry, msbelle.

Yay! You deserve to get a break with your tight schedule.
