I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I'm sorry, Suzi.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Sorry, Suzi.

I'm never eating kale, just out of sheer contrariness, now. It's gotten too big for its leafy green britches, wanting massages.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ugh, sorry, Suzi.

Oh, Suzi, I am so sorry.

I love kale. We usually get dinosaur or curly. Chiffonade is NOT the same thing as a chifforobe.

I also believe that tiny strips of kale makes it sufficiently not so bitter. That with hot viniagrette usually does it. NOM.

Grace has a social studies project we have to do this weekend. So I called my mom to set up a skype (Grace has to interview an old person, essentially). My mom then tells me she is driving between hospitals because my dad is having heart problems.

Um. Thanks for keeping me in the loop. Had I not called she wouldn't have called me.

Also it's easier to be irked by my mom than to worry about my dad. (Atrial firbrillation not being helped by his pacemaker/defirbrillaton).

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Yikes, Kat's dad, get good cardiac care! Kat's mom, tell Kat these things!

Suzi, that blows. I'm sorry you were so let down.

Finally, I need to ask, since I am a non-kale-eater: why does it need to be massaged? (I have been eating a lot of spinach in smoothies, though. I feel like Popeye.)

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

My dad had that and they seem to have solved it with an ablation. It took some time to get there though.

I'm sorry, Suzi.

Kat, I hope they get your dad's cardiac issues fixed soon.
