Back from a tough day. An old friend's sister had her house foreclosed on, was given three weeks to move, but had to leave for a week to be there for a friend who died. She is now packing like mad, as she has to be out by next Monday. While she was away, her 94-year-old mother got ill, and is having surgery this Friday that they are not sure she will live through. I was able to help pack and console, so glad I could help even a little.
All right, no one's killing folk today, on account of our very tight schedule.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Because books.
It's bright and warm; it's light-hearted, but has depth.
Sounds like it also might be good with poultry!
I cooked tonight for the first time in forever. In my new kitchen! Made an orzo salad with zucchini and feta, and it didn't suck. Go me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You're a good friend, Scrappy. What a horrifying situation.

Sometimes, I don't like being the friend there just for download. Sometimes, I want to feel like my life matters too. Ahrg. We've got an imbalance going and it is starting to chafe. But I soldier on.

You are also a good friend, Sara!

I would be thrilled to call anyone here a friend. I've been in your shoes, though, sara, and it's not easy.
Scrappy, your poor friend. Wow, that's just ... way too much.
