Now tagless for your comfort.

That's scary, JZ. Glad they are with her and that she's getting checked out.

My dad is still in the hospital, two weeks later. He was doing really well. We were planning on getting him to transition to a short therapy stay in a nursing home but the last two days he's faded--confused, tired, and his white count shot up. They are testing him for sepsis.

Oh, geez, Cash. Sending all good vibes his way.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I did leave the house this weekend -- to drive over a couple towns to pick up the new Naomi Novik novel at the public library there, since it was an Express Read and couldn't be ILL'd. Mine, all mine, for at least the weekend.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Oh, Cash, how hard and frustrating! I hope they get a handle on it soon.

My mom is staying overnight for observation and getting a stress test tomorrow, but mostly just for everyone's peace of mind. All her initial tests looked good, so it may just have been vasovagal syncope (i.e., "We're not sure what happened but, even though it doesn't look serious, maybe go slower with moving from standing to sitting and have a little more potassium").

Yes, parents should stop being sickly right now!!

I gave the dog a quick bath, and now he wants to snuggle me while he’s damp. Ick.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Oh, goodness! Health~ma for Buffista parents all around.

Isn't that how it works? Post-bath zoomies followed by cuddles?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
