'Out Of Gas'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
scared the hell out of me
Yeah. I can laugh about it now, but at my first visit with my oncologist, when she introduced herself with "I'm a palliative care specialist," I was stunned. I like to think I didn't show my panic externally, but internally my first thought was, "I didn't think I was *that* bad off! I'm not ready for hospice!" It took quite some time to get over that shock, and learn the difference.
Very sweet reminiscence of Michelle.
Though I got a jolt when I realized her childhood friend Reeve Carney was Dorian Gray on Penny Dreadful!
Yeah, palliative care called me about mom and I was all... "Which call is this?"
It was planning the eventual transition from treatment to palliative care and making decisions for a later date... not the later date.

I had the same thought process, except "was the guy from Hadestown."
Just got off a call with the scheduler at the Pilates studio, Claire (she's also a part owner).
It was going to be a half hour call, but I gave the back story on Jacqueline and we wound up having a really nice hour long discussion. I'm getting the feeling that I'm not just getting a place to work out, but a community with some space for friendship as well.
Also, it's really going to help structure my week and my days, which has been an issue for me since Matilda graduated from HS.
Very good! Structure and community can both be hard to build up
That sounds really awesome, David. You are such a community bringer I think it will be nice to have a live community that you are not in charge of bringing the community- you can be a receiver a little bit.
I successfully groceried at Costco and Raley’s and also got gas on the way home and I think I might be able to not spend any more money until the end of the month. I’m a little light on breakfasty things, but I can probably get by eating less specific food a few mornings. Should have enough cat food, which is the actual necessity

Awww, sweetly said.

Very true. I was a little spoiled when I moved to SF to be accepted into a circle of friends (which is where I met Marti the Medical Student).
Then later I spent a good 15-20 years without having any close friends physically nearby (though I was married with children, so I wasn't alone).
But it's something I preach all the time - proximity matters.
