Post-hospital showers make a huge difference. Glad she's feeling the multi-modal love!
Wash: Captain, didn't you know kissin' girls makes you sleepy? Mal: Well sometimes I just can't help myself.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Speaking of showers, did I mention we have hired a care assistant to help Tim shower 4 times a week? I can help him shower, in theory, BUT it's exhausting and hurts my back and wrists. It's sad that Tim's recovery is a situation where someone with a moderately shitty back is taking care of someone with a monumentally bad back. Most of the stuff I can do without injuring myself, but it turns out that the showering I cannot do. It's well worth hiring someone.

It's well worth hiring someone.
That's smart self care and a worthwhile investment.
JZ is quite light and even finessing the tub wasn't too challenging this morning. She looked so happy when I was washing her hair. Not exactly Out of Africa, but in that area.

Always Anti-fascist!
Aw. Of course, for me that's like, Tuesday. Minus the romantic bits.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I hadn't thought about it, but it turns out that the stunt people are also out on strike ... bringing their special skills.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
The packers showed up on time today and packed up the basement and the living room. So...many...boxes.
Tomorrow people come to move the boxes to storage, and pack up the china cabinet and the kitchen.

What flea said.
I made it home! I am exhausted and have 1500 work emails and one project I’m being told it’s on fire and I need to jump right in. Remind me why I can’t just run away and not go back to work??

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Gotta be able to support your dog in the style he has become accustomed to, meara.
