I think Dad finally gets it, because I just called him to check, and when he said the triggering sentence of "I don't want to worry you", I explained (once again!) that I worry MORE if I find out after the fact, and I didn't control the tears of frustration as well as I might have. So I think he understands how upset it makes me.
I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

David, that sounds delicious.
It's truly one of the best recipes I've created. The trick is finding the onion stock. Pacific Soups used to do one but they stopped. However, Better Than Boullion now does an onion stock, so...it's back on the menu.

I hope he learns, Jilli

One of my fancy markets had a bunch I'd never seen before - fish stock, lobster stock, mushroom stock, Italian Herb.
They might have been test marketing it, but I'm going to try to order some more onion stock online just to have some in supply.
Because while I can make onion stock it's effortful to roast and blenderize etc, and it won't be any better than what I can buy.

Our wings are not tired.
Better than Bullion is awesome stuff, although I will pass on the onion.
I am off to train new doctors and users. It has been some time since we had a new practice so I have had to update a lot of my materials. Looking forward to it. When my son takes over for me I will be able to go out on site more often, which I enjoy more than sitting on the computer all day long.

I want to say that insomnia can just go and fuck the hell off. Seriously, fuck insomnia.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
Insomnia definitely proves why sleep deprivation is considered a form of torture.
