Thanks everybody! Helping my friend buy a car for my birthday.
Zoe: Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing? Book: Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.

It's probably better not to write that, Hecubus. But some of your nestlings will be back sometimes.(Bet my mother wishes, although she ended up in my nest, instead, that things had emptied out a little bit more. I know I do, at least sometimes.)

Thrive to spite them
Much love to your family Plei and to your mom Erika.
I'm sorry about the empty nest Hec but I'm glad you are reconnecting.
I'm being very adult and after 2 years I have a dental appointment. I kept getting sick when I had scheduled my appointment and had to reschedule. And then hurricane happened and I drive back to Brevard. Because so far every single person I've talked to has been like "we are so glad to see you , we are glad you came in" and no shame.
The non adult thing I did was go to the toy store with M and I got some mini winnie unicorn blind bags, squeed over these really cute stuffed animals and a miniature DiY unicorn terrarium kit.
Now im not getting my teeth cleaned today because I need a deep scaling thing done.. but they are of course really nice about it
Also Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are engaged. We were walking from where we are lunch to the toy store and I saw the news on my phone and told M the news. A guy who was sitting on a bench laughed and said what ? So i told him and he was like " good for them!"

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I am pleased for Taylor and Travis, they seem like nice young people, but I think it's a little odd that NYT sent me a "Breaking News" email about it

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Happy Birthday, Lisa!
Best wishes to your mom, erika.
Plei, hospice was wonderful with my mom. And with us. All best love to you and her and the family.
I'm sorry the nest is sometimes echoey, David. You're doing a good job of filling it with friends.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Tim has an appointment this afternoon with the oncology team to go over the results from the second biopsy he had last week, and (I assume) to discuss the treatment plan. Fingers crossed for a really tiny area that the radiation can just totally obliterate!

(passes good cancer vibes to Tim, because Mom doesn't have it again, this year.) We didn't really think she would, but once someone has, it's hard for that thought to be completely gone.
