Askye, I think she meant that it would be reasonable to look at jobs where you'd be making more than 15 an hour
Yes, this!!
Do you know what else has blood in it? Blood.

So I have a great-nephew! I have announced that I shall henceforth be known as Grantie C-----. I got to see him for a moment this morning, sleeping peacefully. His mother had a hardass labor, and is recovering slowly. Pushing a whole human being out of your body is fucking badass.

Our wings are not tired.
Congratulations, Grantie Consuela!
Sending the ~ma to Tim, Erica's mom, Matt's mom, and all our loved ones with health challenges.
Laura one day I want to visit your Otter Lake place. It looks so peaceful.
I can't wait for the construction crew to finish and having true peace and a great spot for guests. Summer and Autumn are such wonderful times here. They promise me I will have a functional bathroom today! The areas they have finished are beautiful.
Monday! Yeah, why be it?

Sending an abundance of ~ma in your direction, Trudy. Thank you for being an awesome daughter and taking charge!

And new baby grand nephew, congrats Suela! And knowing his mom, I’m not surprised at all by her heroism. That kid is so lucky in the parents department!

All positive vibes for your mom and her new team of doctors. Good for hanging in there about MSK and being her rock and new roomie through it

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Trudy, so glad your mom got to MSK! Bring on the restaging!
Tim’s surgery has been pushed back by 90 minutes, so we’re just killing time.

That's an excellent change of venue, Trudy. Good job! Wishing you the -ma.
so we’re just killing time.
I wonder if that Lou Reed's line about buying drugs ran through his head at the end of his life as he received cancer care: "First thing you learn is you always gotta wait."

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Congratulations, Grantie!
That reminds me, I'm about to be a great-great aunt. I was a great-aunt before I was a mom, since my oldest niece, who's only six years younger than me, had her firstborn about 8 months ahead of Alex. And so my oldest grand-niece, who just turned 20, has hastily married her high school sweetheart and just had a baby shower. I'm currently viewing all this through Facebook, though I'm visiting that part of the family in October, so I'll get to meet my great-great-grandniece then. (I should bring a cane for the trip--unfortunately it's too late to grow out my gray hair for the occasion.)
