What -t said!
Good to see the SCOTUS do something right.
I'm taking MIL to SIL's house tonight for a couple days, and if the universe has any regard for me, perhaps for the next week until she can go home. I am grateful we have been able to help with her transition to home, but she is seriously high maintenance. Manipulative. If I criticize, she will cry and have a tantrum. It is exhausting. This morning, I "accidentally" left for the dog park without getting her coffee, and amazingly, in the 45 minutes I was gone, she got it herself. I've been trying to be less available, but it is a challenge. Of course, at SIL's, she has 11 and 5-year-old grandchildren who will be fetching things for her.
She keeps asking when she can go home or when she can drive. My answer remains the same: she has to do the physical therapy if she wants to be independent. We all know the day she gets home she will be planted in the recliner all day watching tv. We can only do so much.
Yikes Laura. Bravo for what you’ve done already!! (I know my sister put up with more taking care of our father than I ever would have)
Emmett is 30?? Dear god where does the time go??
I know, Meara.
I end up talking with young activists a lot through work, but it's not quite the same as *hanging* with them.
Rowan and Sebastian
I feel like they each kept dating people until they got to someone with an acceptably cool name to go with their own. They sound like a couple in a fab piece of fiction. Also, hanging out with the youngs is a good thing for one's health and temperament, says my 88 y.o. aunt.
Emmett is 30??
He will be in September!

They are very cool and interesting! She recently became the director of Filoli House, which is impressive at her age: [link]
She's got a great museum curatorial background.
He was a developer at Apple but has moved to Roblox.
I am so tired of the uphill climb of having a big number in Accounts Receivable for my business and fijghting to have enough cash flow to keep things moving forward on all the projects. Usually I'm pretty happy with being a business owner, but there are days...
That absolutely sucks, ND. So stressful. Slow and late-payers - opposite of helpful.
It is so stressful, ND. With us, it is doctors, who can afford it far more than we can, who are the slow payers.
Welp, DH's mom was just diagnosed with pancreatic cancer that has spread to her lungs. So. We just got off the phone with her and his younger brother, who is with her. She seemed quite herself, because who else is she going to be? He is going up on Sunday to stay with her for a short visit. She's at an independent living stage of a swank place up in PA. And so begins navigating this journey. Any spare comfort and ease ~ his and her way would be lovely.
