smonster, that all sounds awesome.
And sounds like generally good news from Tim, too!
Happy early birthday to ltc.
Very convincing. Makes me completely want to put myself under government control. Please take me to where you can make me unconscious and naked.

You know how people say they married their best friend? I’m becoming best friends with my partner and it’s amazing.
How exciting! All of it. I'm so happy for you, smonster.
His incisions look beautiful -- very clean, no inflammation or drainage, just some pinkness where the staples went in.
Here's to good craftsmanship.

8 tomorrow!
ION, my youngest child turned 18 today. No more legal minors in this house. Which does feel surprisingly weird, actually.
She seems to have had a lovely birthday. We just got back from the cocktail bar, because now that she can legally drink hard liquor (here), of course she should.
Yay on happy couples and clean incisions.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
She's home.
For those of you who have been following the long evolution of Jacqueline's relationship with Emmett, which began with him mildly resenting his new stepmother, to grudgingly accepting her to actively appreciating Matilda's mother to their own playful dynamic - it was Emmett who carried her up the long steps in his arms into the house.

Raising her right! 18!
Jim, I don't know how you just let your kids grow up like that all willy nilly. Now they're adults and probably don't appreciate the Archies as much as they once did.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Oof. That one brought more tears.
David, I know this is so hard on you but sharing these bits just makes me feel…I don’t know…feels. And more feels.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Oof. That one brought more tears.
Yes.
And happy that Tim's incision looks good and he's moving a bit more easily. De-puff thoughts to the feet.
