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.
Congratulations to the class of 1999. You all proved more or less adequate.

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.

Glad you can be there.

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.

That's heavy, Tep. What she said, Drew and Pix.

Thanks for the birthday wishes! I found crepes at the grocery store, so for dinner, I made a savory crepe with ham, brie, arugula, and balsamic glaze. I shall experiment with other savory crepes in the coming days.

Happy birthday, shrift! (And your crepe sounds strangely familiar to me!)
I had the chance to spend some quality time with my 5-month-old grephew this evening, which I shall treasure, since he's on a plane to the east coast early tomorrow with his parents for an extended visit with the other side of the family. And I got to snuggle with my sister's dogs, which was nice, since my house is now sadly dogless.
Best wishes to all with illness in the family.

Husband's been whining about still being sick, how come he got respiratory symptoms from this flu when I didn't, etc. When I suggested that he actually had a cold plus whatever I had, he thought I was crazy.
Guess who woke up with cold symptoms this morning?
