Welcome, Arthur! I love that new human smell.
Jacqueline is in her bed. On morphine. She is surrounded by a circle of her closest women friends and Matilda. And they are all talking and getting drunk.
I’m putting this down in my advance directive.
Sir? I think you have a problem with your brain being missing.

Welcome, Arthur!
I shall be having a glass of pomegranate punch in JZ’s honor tonight.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Update on the OT: she was, in fact, very happy with Tim's progress in terms of his back. However, because she is awesome and wants to treat the whole patient, when Tim was describing problems he's been having with his rheumatoid arthritis pain since surgery (he can't take any anti-inflammatories for 6 months, because they inhibit bone growth, and bone growth is necessary for the spinal fusion to, well, fuse), she was like "I have solutions for your RA pain!" (Where "solutions" means some ergonomic changes, as well as some exercises he can do.) So she's going to come to the house once a week for a month.
It takes a goddamn village to get a Tim back on his feet.

Our wings are not tired.
PT and OT peeps are amazing with their tips and tricks.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
New baby! When Jacqueline was pregnant we Bitches were discussing New Baby scent, and I said my favorite thing is rubbing my upper lip and tip of my nose across a fuzzy near-bald infant head. So brief a time to do that in a baby's life. And Jacqueline said when Matilda came I was welcome to hold her and schnoozle her scalp. Physical distance prevented actually getting to do that, but I have and always will remember that moment of connection between Jacqueline and me.
Welcome, Arthur! It's a wild old world, but there are bright spots and beauties just waiting for you to discover!

I expect my friends to sit around and drink their way through my whiskey collection.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
she was like "I have solutions for your RA pain!"
Oh, awesome!

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Sorry I missed the zoom get-together-while apart. It sounds like an appropriate celebration of JZ. From her I gained an appreciation of baby toes - sometimes I'll see a baby in a stroller and think that she'd appreciate a set of especially adorable ones.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Congrats Debet and family.
Meanwhile I took today off(and will take tomorrow off as well) to deal with house stuff. I just wish there was more clarity about what’s happening. Gary had been told that the last of the pack-out was going to happen today, so I took the day off to supervise.I get to the house this morning only to find out that the packers couldn’t get the truck today, so they would start taking up the flooring, which I don’t need to be around for. Had I known that, I could have gone into work late.
At least I have a ton of leave available.
