Our wings are not tired.

In more amusing news, my son was up early and at work because he didn't realize it was a holiday, and our doctors would be off. Of course, the doctors and office managers often log in on weekends and holidays, but son actually does get the day off from support. He will of course be twice as busy tomorrow.

I'm so sorry David, glad you and Matilda can be there for her friend.

Laura, I think you made the right decisions!

Random Monday puzzle update: This morning, I celebrated the holiday by doing the entire NYT puzzle without looking up a single thing. In addition to all my little challenges, I'm attempting to do at least one of the full puzzles a week.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oh, David, my heart goes out to Isabella and Hannah and everyone with Lola

I’m so sorry, David. Love to you and Matilda and all your friends’ loved ones.

In one sense, I envy Lola for being able to hold onto that.(In another, maybe it's not fair to create another hurdle for your daughter, who'll need to be prepared(But, then again, can you, really? Is there anything you could say that would help enough?) That's just terrible, though, I'm sorry.

Yeah, you can't ever be completely prepared, but being completely unprepared is another level. I hope her loved ones have a sound support system.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

We just got back from Balticon. The con itself was good, but the overnight visit with Mr. S wasn't. He ended up having a meltdown Saturday evening that ended with him going to the ER. I don't know what was the trigger. Could be sensory overload, could be something else. He ended going from the hospital back to the RTC.

I have a short week because Friday is my colonoscopy/endoscopy.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I’m sorry, David.

Brenda, I hope you have (had) a lovely time at the Pictured Rocks. My dad was from the upper peninsula , and we visited the Munising area many times. It’s a gorgeous area.
