I hope they figure that out for your father, Kat.
She's not just a blob of energy, she's also a 14-year-old hormone bomb.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Kat, I think my mother Skypes. Do you want me to give you her contact info? She's old as balls.

My parents do facetime, not so sure about skype, as well. I also can send info.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Oh dear Kat, much ~ma for your father. I hope he's home and feeling better soon.
And Suzi, I'm sorry that folks weren't there for you. That truly sucks.
I like kale, but it's not my favorite leafy green. It's a little high maintenance, you know?
Speaking of leafy greens, Franny has asked that I start making her salads for her lunch. I consider that a win.
Today I took the kids to Cal State LA for their art class and got some writing done, then came home and worked in the yard pruning roses. And did the grocery shopping. I feel all acomplished.

I shudder to think what constitutes an "old person" to a small child.

I don't think I have any old people for you, Kat. (I am firmly living in denial that anyone would consider ME old.)

Plei, thanks! If we can't connect with my mom tomorrow we may email your mom.
We are all old to 6 year olds.
Also Kiss, the band, is now 40 years old. I am old.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
One of my former students was complaining on facebook about how old she was getting after running into one of the kids she used to babysit as an adult.
Which makes me...ancient, I guess.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I told you guys about Dylan asking how long ago Judah the Maccabee lived and when I said thousands of years ago, he asked "So, 1970-what?" right? Like, that's literally as far back in time as he can comprehend. We are all ancient.
That said, my grandmother is 94 and kind of knows how to Skype if Grace doesn't mind seeing just the top of her head. I don't know how available she might be on short notice, though.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
This board is so educational sometimes! Today I learned a name for how I cut kale AND a fancy European name for a split wardrobe!
