We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

lisah, that sucks.

Oh lisah condolences. So many of us losing parents lately, an awful club to be in.

This. I am not a fan. Good that we have each other for support.

XPosted on FB: So some tentative hope this morning. Dad is more alert, and if we can keep doing the syringe feeding (which no one thought to try until now...don't get me started), he may qualify for nursing care and rehab. I don't know how far back he can come to where he was, but this is the first morning I've felt like there's a chance in a long time.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I’m so glad it’s Friday. My brain and body CANNOT get it together.

Brain is being squirrely, I’m having anxiety dreams at night and am unable to settle. Unsure why.

Body is hot/cold hot/cold also nose is runny and woke up with a soreish throat ( I suspect mouth breathing in my sleep). COVID test this morning negative and I’m not achy or coughing or having any issue breathing or fever.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Just realized that the deadline for my self assessment being Monday and Monday being a holiday means I actually should have it done by EOD. Have actual work to do, that I would rather be doing, rather than trying to remember if I actually accomplished anything last year and WAY MORE than I want to come up with areas for improvement for 2024. Bah.

Posting makes it happen: I was able to power through generating some bs that my boss can approve or whatever. Back to actual work...

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

My condolences, lisah.

I'm glad you are feeling some hope, Pix.

Never mind. He refused to eat more than a tiny amount in the morning, and the speech therapist says he's not safe to swallow again. So. We will give it a day or two and see. Roller coaster. Every day.
