Happy shrift day! I will try to get some slounging in
Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

Happy Birthday, shrift!
I am currently awaiting that feeling , Dana. I am happy you're there.
Continued good thoughts Pix and ND as you navigate care for Pix's dad.
I had a bunch more to comment on, but I need to leave it to a partial meara for the moment.

Happy Birthday, shrift!
~ma to your dad (and you), Pix.
I can attest to the unexpected amount of happiness brought by decorative lights. I just put up a string of flickering solar lanterns in my Japanese maple, and am pleasantly surprised by how cute it looks. The charge only lasted a couple hours after sunset, but I'd rather have brighter, nicer-looking lights for a short time than longer-lasting unimpressive ones.

That sounds lovely, Matt.
Happy birthday, Shrift!
I have a cold. It’s not world ending, but it is annoying. I was able to take sick leave this afternoon, so I can slounge on the sofa and moan at the cats.

Our wings are not tired
Hey folks, just another update. Pix's dad is responding to the antibiotics, but it's still really rough out there. I'm catching a flight out tomorrow to be with her for a few days.

I know that will be a huge help for emotional support, Drew.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
I'm keeping all 3 of you in my thoughts, Drew and Pix.
My dad has a doctor appointment tomorrow for a check-up/lab work, but mostly to get a referral to a psychiatrist (or an inpatient stay in a psych unit), because he's having the same hallucinations again, along with some paranoia and hoarding (both of which are new). I'm going to his doctor appointment tomorrow because that's the only way to be sure that whatever the next step is, he does it.

Oh dear, Tep. Scary stuff.
