Glad she's OK, Allyson and that she has you to check in with. It can be hard living alone when incapacitated in one way or another.
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

Yes, and you're a pretty damn good friend. Keep checking up on her, it is a nasty illness and the fever can impair judgement.
One of the things I love about the community I've landed in is that my friends would have no qualms about coming in if I went incommunicado for too long. And I'd do the same. No longer worry about the cats having to resort to my corpse for sustenance. If one of my neighbors didn't see my daily forays to the pool, they'd freak out.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've sent my sister a question about the kaftan. They evidently have a secret code in Jamaica to which I'm not privy. She got terse when I explained my idea of housedress.
Curses. I missed an auction on a pair of steel toed Doc Marten Mary Janes. Yeah, I know, I already have two pairs, but these were in better condition than my black ones. No one bought them. I hope they get relisted soon. They are so fucking comfortable. And, although plain, my most complimented-on pair of shoes.
no one is coming home to see if you're ok
This motivates my mother a lot, but honestly I don't give it much thought. I take some stupid things for granted.

A house dress is like a Mrs. Roper thing, right? Or no, I also have a picture in my head kind of like the one from ita !'s mom but with a zipper or something down the front.

Heh, not so easy there. Since I've moved here, I hear it pronounced both Col-or-AH-do and Col-or-AD-o.

Allyson is a good egg. Totally agree.
It's been cold lately -- when I took Noah to school, it was 32 degrees. Brrrrrrr. Consequently my house is freezing. If we don't turn the heat on it slips back to about 58 degrees.
In other news, I'm reading Scorpio Races which is YA/Alternate world/Crazy Horse book. Fun!

My mother-in-law loved those, bless her. And in the winter long velour ones that zipped up the front.

Way to go, Allyson.
I am really grateful some days to live near my sister (she's only a mile away), so if I broke my leg or something I would have some support. Means a lot.
