not your mom's socks.

Anyway, it's the easiest, most reliable, and most forgiving cake recipe I know, and has the added benefit of being lactose-free, which makes it perfect for large functions.

Also? Yummy.

Why am I awake? I have to get up in a few hours for travelfest. Want to be asleep right now. Instead I'm watching my daughter sleep.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Amyth, hugs and hugs for you, ease and peace for your SiL, and sympathies for the rest of your family.

This is the way it was with my mom, and it's wonderfully peaceful for the patient. Not so terrible for the watchers, either, no pain. But the waiting is difficult. More hugs.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Thinking of you and your family, amyth. Thanks for the update, even if the news isn't good, it's something that may help to share!

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

So sorry to hear the way things have turned out, amyth. My thoughts are with you and your family.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

My tongue hurts.

Talky meat! My tongue typically only hurts when I get a recurrence of Thrush, though that's pretty rare anymore.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Our angelic neighbors took Dylan for a playdate this morning and he's been gone now almost 4 hours. The apartment is so clean it's scary, I've reorganized the kitchen junk drawer and put up hooks in the front hall to hang keys. Also set up the Harmony remote to watch online video on the TV (from my laptop) and flipped the mattress.

So whatever this baby girl has been waiting on, I'm pretty sure it's been done now!
