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

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Dr. Watkins saw me, said, "Oh no! What happened?!" then prescribed Prednisone on the spot. Also put in a scrip for topical steroidal ointment, and let me use some of their Calming Cream (and with steroids) right there in the doctor's office.

No charge.

Then I did all the errands I had intended to do on Monday.

Calming Cream sounds nice. Hope all that stuff works and your face is fine!

I had other stuff but it fell out of my brain.

Why does our People Team send the invitation to our "Winter Celebration" as an attached pdf with a QR code on it as the means to RSVP? Is there a way to open QR codes from pdfs that I don't know about that makes that less silly?

Oh, right, one of the things I was going to say is that I am 75% planning to go see The Marvels after work tomorrow. Not with anyone, so less temptation to cancel…although I suppose I will not have the theater practically to myself like the last few times I’ve gone to the movies

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Monday we got a call from school saying that Mr. S had wrapped a headphone cord around his neck, said he wasn’t happy and didn’t feel safe going with the nanny. I went to pick him up and take him to the crisis center. Gary met us there. While waiting to be seen, he complained of being bored and hungry. By the time they got to him he was too agitated for them to evaluate, and sent us to the ER. He then had an epic meltdown that lasted all night. We left around 12:30 in the morning. We have been waiting for them to find a bed in a behavioral unit, which they did today. Gary went over to sign some paperwork and follow the ambulance to the unit. I don’t know how long he’ll be there. Sigh…

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.

My mother-in-law passed away peacefully at home yesterday.

Thanks to everyone for their kind wishes and thoughts.

Our wings are not tired.

Wishes for comfort for your family, Karl.

Oh Sheryl, I am sorry that you are going through this. I wish there were something helpful I could say.

Punishingly Intricate

So sorry for your family’s loss, Karl.

My Dad’s been in inpatient rehab for a week and a half and the doctors there are not optimistic about his recovery. He’s having problems eating and drinking now in addition to not being able to put weight on his leg. My mom has been talking to hospice care about organizing transport back to their apartment and getting care there. Just hoping for easy transitions whatever that means at this point.

Oh, lisah. Will be thinking of you.
