No, former neighbor, we no longer own that property.
No, I’m not contacting the contractor on your behalf.
No, we’re not living with my mother. She’s been dead 18 months.
I am so tired of everything. I thought a vacation would help. All it did was highlight how miserable I really am.
Hey Dad,
Yes, D26 does not have her driver’s license yet.
Yes, we know that she can practice by driving to & from school.
Yes, we know that she can practice by driving to & from work.
The commute to & from school is on busy freeways during rush hour in a metro area where freeway drivers are aggressive.
The driving school said she needs more practice.
So that’s what we’re doing.
Now back off.
Yes, I feel bad for you, since your husband’s long process of dying has begun (at least a year ago). Yes, I will keep you company and be nice to you. No, I will not martyr my child to you every time she is home from college. She will see you in a few weeks, not this weekend.
I haven’t used the term in over 40 years but it fits perfectly.
You are a weirdo.
My daughter’s best friend K from middle school has had a horrible year. Her mother was hospitalized at Thanksgiving for a bowel obstruction, so K flew here with her youngest (of 3) child. K arrived and she had to be hospitalized for asthma, and then spent 2 weeks here as her mother got sepsis. K was not doing great breathing wise but really needed to get back to AZ to her husband and other kids, so flew home. Turns out she developed an embolism and had to be hospitalized again upon her return! Yikes, traveling with an embolism with a 20 month old.
Her mother died on dec 22. She was 60.
Now K’s husband has been hospitalized for 2 weeks in liver failure. He has an autoimmune disease and needs a transplant (a full liver, not a living donor). He is 30 years old.
Things just feel so fragile right now. That is all.

It’s Holy Week, and I am really struggling to understand what is happening in the context of my beliefs.
Bishop Burbidge:
“Today (Spy Wednesday), Judas looks for a chance to hand Jesus over to his enemies. Many still reject Jesus and his Gospel. Let’s do our part to stand up for him and not worry about the opposition we may face. Remain confident that the Truth is always victorious over the enemy!”
What do you call two rainy days that follow five sunny ones? A weekend, naturally! 
Egg hunters will be soaked.
I am happy to report success in locating the 3 things we were looking for that we had put away in our storage unit. (I had posted earlier about my failure at finding these things after thinking I had been so organized when we packed and stored stuff when we downsized.) All 3 were together in a small box within a storage bin that was of course at the very back bottom of the unit.
Why would Facebook recommend the Porch Goose Club of America to me??!!
Many years ago I gave up watching The Today Show because Matt Lauer made Ann Curry cry. I switched to GMA for a few years, but found it a bit TOO much and switched to CBS Mornings, where I’ve been a satisfied viewer, for the most part, through the years (particularly loving it when Anthony Mason, Norah O’Donnell & John Dickerson were part of the table). I do enjoy Gayle, but I’m struggling with the feeling that they have jumped the shark recently.
Cousin, I love that we’ve reconnected and I really enjoy having text convos with you. I’m learning so much more about you! But…you voted for Kanye!??!! 
Please join me in the worry mode for the next four weeks. Fingers crossed for a safe venture.
I can be a petty jerk also
Recent celebrity space ride was infuriating—it was not an all-female CREW, they were all PASSENGERS. Crew implies that are doing something useful, besides being wealthy enough to do this. Gayle King clearly did not want to be there, all I could think of that poor kid who did not want to dive to the Titanic, with disastrous results.
Hell is a hospital waiting room playing bad country western music.
Just a vent. It seems I really can’t escape the weed smell anywhere anymore. I’ve long smelled it while running coming from cars passing by (with windows shut) at 5am… And H has warned me that plenty of people come in the gym stinking of weed. But that’s in the afternoons. Surely the morning 6am crowd is more sensible… Apparently not anymore. This guy came in and did some light warm-up stuff in the opposite corner of my area. He stunk up the area so bad that I could still smell it 10 minutes after he left. Ugh.
He is in pain with most likely a muscle injury. Urgent care said he needs to see a muscle specialist and get a scan. Insurance requires referral for specialist. PCP won’t see him for a week. This is why people end up using the ER instead of just seeing doctors.
