I'm sorry, askye. What a mess. Usually it would be the closest ER.
Spike: Ladies. Come on in. Plenty of blood in the fridge, don't be shy. Dawn: You mean like, real blood? Spike: What do you think? Dawn: Mostly I think, 'Eew!'

She's at the little ER here. M wanted to wait until they knew more about what was going on before he went there.
M has pleurisy. I have an ultrasound appointment for Monday.

M's mom is going to be admitted to a hospital. What we have in town isn't a hospital but an ER and like outpatient imaging and stuff. She is going to one in a nearby town (they are all owned by the same corporation). Whatever tests they did came back clear so they aren't sure what is going on but she isn't improving.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Oh man askye. That’s a lot.
The dog just went and barged in on the third-floor neighbor and came back down with a whole carrot.
Dog is the new Bob I guess. (And he does like them, for the record.)

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
So, Trump is now threatening to cut funding from my university because of antisemitism. (I have not experienced any more antisemitism here than I have anywhere else in my everyday life. A few low-level incidents, one slightly bigger thing that I considered reporting but decided it wasn't worth it. No worse than any other place I've been, and definitely better than when I was in Pennsylvania. The university settled a lawsuit last year about a few incidents that they probably should have dealt with better, but those seem to have been isolated incidents. There is definitely not any kind of "rampant environment of antisemitism" or whatever here. There also aren't any big anti-Israel protests, which is the excuse they're using at other universities -- we've really had nothing more than a couple of kids wearing keffiyahs collecting signatures. But, somehow, we're in danger of losing funding unless we "solve" our "antisemitism problem.")

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh man, askye, that's a lot for your household!
Unfortunately, I don't think blasting "you must chill" at brain weasels is very effective, but we can always try
I just don't see what that doesn't work.

Oh dear askye. How stressful when all of you are having health problems.
"Dog is the new Bob" is also making me happy.
I am getting a tabletop convection oven/rotisserie thing for my 25th!! Anniversary at my university. This is supposed to be the one where we get the rocking chair, but I was like WTF am I doing with a rocking chair? I love my Insta-pot from year 20. Apparently at 30 years, there is a steam cleaner.
