Oh, Hec, so wish I could take some of this off your hands. But I couldn't. You'd end up with a forkless celebration of life on the worst day ever because I sent out a resume once that said I was detail-oriented--I do have my moments, I suppose-, but not that time. Because it was misspelled, and I didn't notice for a week. I don't claim that anymore, obviously.
Mal: He calls back, you keep them occupied. Wash: What do I do, shadow puppets?

Natter 77: I miss my friends. I miss my enemies. I miss the people I talked to every day.

Amy, yikes! Don't... go to Longwood Gardens, I guess? Eek.
Atropa, congratulations on the move... and the fire pit.
David, wishing you cessation of family being a pain and safe travels. I'm so sorry this visit to your sister has to happen, for all the reasons.
I know I missed a bunch of stuff. I am thinking supportive things when I read.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm pretty much JenP here.
But I do have a bluesky invite code to offer if anyone wants one.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Family's not really being a pain. They just expect that a funeral announcement would have followed by now, and that's not a crazy expectation.
Anyway, I ran a berjillion errands with Matilda today in advance of her returning to school tomorrow.
The complicated route I took to hit all my stops had all the genuine satisfaction of a solving a sudoku. Because I had to factor in one way streets, streets with no turns, cross city routes and hit the parking on every stop too.
Ehh, it's too much to explain but if you've lived in San Francisco and ever had to run 7 errands in two hours you know what I mean.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I haven't lived in SF, but I get that
