Oh, crud! I failed to actually schedule anything with Shir when she's in Seattle!

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.
Thanks, folks. Next birthday is going to be the weird one (I lost my maternal grandfather when he was 58 and I was 3, and that event had ripples throughout the family.)
I am trying to just be calm and enjoy the day today, but I'll admit it's difficult. So much accumulated grief and fear for the future, and I feel like I've been in crisis mode since well before Lisa's mum passed.
I love you all, and I am so thankful for your steady, gentle presence in my life. Having one online friendship survive for twenty-plus years feels like a gift; having all of you is genuinely an embarrassment of riches.
You are My People, and I am blessed beyond possible words.

Any blessing we give you, you've given back a bunch of times. Which is true, even as it's making Inner Chandler Bing super-uncomfortable to have written it out. "Jeez, can I *be* more sentimental?" Scola, I'm no expert, but that seems as good as it gets.

Happy Birthday, Karl.
"Cold Snare" is a solid band name.

Yeah, I could see that.

Nice results, Tom, and good on you for the adulting.
Gud, what -t said 100%. I know down to the center of my being that you are such a good human, and if beaming that in your direction helps, consider it constant.

Yes, if it helps. If it wouldn't, nobody is so perfect they don't lose it under pressure.

All of this.
Back on the diet bandwagon after a week of cruising. I wasn't really bad, but not good either. DH is starting to feel some issues with his RA, so doing hard antiinflammatory Mediterranean-type stuff. I did my meal plan yesterday and did a big curbside pickup at Whole Foods this morning. Tonight is chicken with a topping that involves red bell peppers, garlic, and pecans. Served over some of the Whole Foods mixed grains. It looks and smells good. Nice to be back in my kitchen cooking stuff.

Happy birthday, Karl!
Gud, what everyone said.
Greetings from Seattle!
Oh, crud! I failed to actually schedule anything with Shir when she's in Seattle!
Fear not! For there are almost no plans as of now for Seattle and I'll browse Google to see what's around. Remember how I had no time to plan anything between work and war? That is still the case. So I'll be working tomorrow, but feel free to ping me (number in profile) and we'll plan something!

I’m home from ltc’s softball game. TCG hasn’t been able to make it to the Monday games because of his work schedule. Meanwhile, this entire group of parents see a disabled mom and an 8 year old struggling with the equipment and chairs and such and not a single one offers to help.
