Whoa! I... I think I'm having a thought. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a thought. Now I'm having a plan. Now I'm having a wiggins.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I'm sorry, Kate.

Health~ma to Matilda. Long periods of coughing can be draining.

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

Lung~ma to Matilda!

Because books.

Oh, poor Matilda. I hope the doctors can help. Maybe a preventive inhaler, along with the rescue one?

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Kate, I am so sorry. Fuck cancer, indeed.

(((Matilda))) Poor thing, that sounds so miserable.

My cats ignore catnip, but are gaga over lemongrass. I have given up overwintering the plants inside, because the little brats will destroy things in an effort to get to them.

The status is NOT quo.

Sending healing vibes to Matilda and calm vibes to her worried parents!

Oh, Kate. I’m so sorry. Fuck fuck fuck FUCK cancer.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Oh, Kate, I'm so very sorry. That's just awful.

And poor Matilda, and Matilda's family. I hope the treatments see her much improved.

The cats I've had have been pretty casual about catnip, and practically ignored the growing plants.

Kate, I'm sorry.

Poor Matilda-boo.

Jury duty is on for tomorrow. Have to figure out my reading list if the wifi at the courthouse is on the blink. Will definitely be doing some Serial-spotting. We're supposed to stay in the jury sitting rooms, but a girl's gotta pee and refill her water bottle.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Good breathing ~ma to Matilda, and coping~ma to her parents

I'm so sorry for your friend, Kate, and strength to you and her loved ones

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Thanks, y'all. It's still sinking in. I haven't seen J in a few years, but back when we both lived in Northampton, we had a standing weekly breakfast date for a couple of years, and it was such a nice thing that I always looked forward to. Now, of course, I feel rotten that we haven't kept up better since we both moved away. Ah, shit, I miss her.

Sending out the ~ma for Matilda, poor noodle.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Hec can give the full update since he took her there, but it's atypical walking pneumonia. She'll start a 5-day course of azithromycin tonight; sucks, but she's home and humming to herself and generally unfazed. Poor button!
