Today I took a ferry across Sydney Harbor to see the opera house and bridge. I did that with billytea nearly 20 years ago, and was why I suggested it to my friend. Made me think so fondly of the many long long memories and friends we’ve made here.

I can also vouch for Transform Cincinnati as an organization - I know a couple of families with trans kids who are supporters and have been supported by the organization.

I am thinking of the zmayhems and our community all the time although I am bad at posting.

Thank you, javachick.

I hope the gi tube placement went well.

In less fraught news, I dropped Javier, formerly Amyth’s kitty, off at the vet yesterday for ACL surgery. He came through fine, and I’ll be picking him up today. My elder kitty, Leifur, was a bit confused about why he was suddenly an only cat again, and I missed Javier’s shy presence.

David, is JZ out of the g-tube placement?

Yes, they brought her back to her room around 3pm. But kind of left me in the dark during her recovery phase. Apparently everything went fine.

We're receiving the suction machine from hospice today for her G-Tube. I'm going to need some insider tips, kat!

I mean the really old days. Before the first exodus.

I've wondered about you and your family.

The boy is learning to drive and tend bar while he waits for A-level results and figures out what the hell to do next. The girl is obsessed with musicals, feminist takes on fantasy, and brilliant episodic TV but anyone wanna bet which show she has stubbornly refused to watch throughout the whole of high school?

It warms my heart that Javier has a loving home with you.

Good to hear the G-tube procedure took place without issues.

What!?! You are clearly a failure. But you have time yet.

Bwah! Ain't that the way. JZ could never get Matilda to sit through My So Called Life, her most beloved show, even when Matilda was the same age and experiencing the same things.

I hope Ginger's Mr. Peabody is doing well.

Javier is a joy, once he's comfortable with one. My home is better for him being here. He's home from the vet now, with a collar and a shaved leg, most unhappy with his recent experiences.
