Hmm, I need to get a gift for my mother's caregiver. Not sure what.
Doesn't matter that we took him off that boat, Shepherd, it's the place he's going to live from now on.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Dental work isn't cheap and it's very often not covered, or covered well, even for people who have "health coverage" so I can see that it's where people let things slide. Plus people put off dental work or checkups and cleaning because of fear.
All of which reminds me that I am overdue and need to reschedule mine. Drat.
If it gets clients into the office and it's something honestly usable by the doctor, I am going with innovative and good.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Totally. And people get things like gift cards from work and places and if they are really in need of dental work it's a great thing to be able to repurpose that money.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
It's almost like barter! I like it.

My boss took the lab out to lunch. Waaay too much food.

Good thing they set up that plot line on HIMYM.

Congrats to the happy family. I love seeing families where the kids are so clearly loved and wanted and just enjoyed.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Had a really weird encounter with a co-worker today. Apparently whatsisname is a particular stripe of claustrophobic. He can't go into an elevator with too many people on it. Not a full elevator, that might disturb you or me, but with more than two or three other people. He was pacing the lobby and freaking out for fifteen minutes, apparently, because all the elevators that showed up either had people in them, or other people came and got in after he did. Which meant he got out.
He had to ask us to stop people from going in after him, and he was on the edge of panic.
I'd never seen him before. Apparently he works in a closet that's been converted into an office because of his phobias. I thought that would trigger claustrophobia, but it seems that if he's alone, he's okay in small spaces.
I can't even imagine. He was so distraught.

Oh dear, poor guy.
And since I'm about to leave on vacation, my house decides to go "thpppbbbt!" to me. Came home flipped the switch in the kitchen and it came on for second, then nothing. Flipped it back and forth and the light would come on if I wiggled the switch, but wouldn't stay on. It's an older switch, but I figured that if I got a new switch, I could just swap them out. Un-unh. After a quick trip to Walmart (it's a 7 minute walk from my house...and apparently the 11th circle of hell on a Friday night shortly before Xmas. ) I took off the switch plate and there's the older switch...in a ceramic casing...with the wires attached to casing.
Sigh. This is beyond my v. limited "black wire to black, white wire to white" knowledge. I think I need an electrician. Did I mention that I am leaving town on Monday? I'm sure they won't cost an arm and leg on the weekend...
