Oh god, Jesse. That sounds awful and terrifying. Are there other solutions to get him to the program?

not your mom's socks.

Oh Jesse, I'm glad everything's ok.

Fingers crossed Consuela.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Oh, no, Jesse.

Jesus, Jesse. That's terrifying.

And ... no luck. Or at least not right now, although my old boss keeps dropping my name to people (which is nice). They might have some short-term work for me in the next few weeks. And if I'd be willing to move to Reno, they'd hire me.

But with Dad how he is, I'm really uncomfortable with the idea of moving away. Especially since there is no longer a cheap Oak-Reno flight (Southwest cancelled the route about six months ago).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I guess it will be a combination of a pricy but reliable cab driver, my mother, and maybe some friends taking him to and fro. I know we have a friend who did elder care and is now semi-retired not quite by choice, so I suggested my mother hire her, but we're not sure she would take the money. I figure it's worth asking, at least.

I am having a second glass of wine.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Oh, Jesse, how scary. I'm glad it turned out okay.

So glad he is safe, Jesse.

It is currently 0 degrees here. The forecast tomorrow is supposed to be 41 - finally, above freezing! I actually have to leave the house tomorrow.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Jesse, how terrible.

Fingers still crossed Consuela.

Because books.

A second glass of wine sounds like a good idea, Jesse.

Is there a program at your church that might help? I know ours coordinates volunteers to drink elderly/disabled members to the doctor or on errands. You might ask just to check.

Consuela, all the job ~ma as long as you need it!
