I don't think my mom has anything that is secretly valuable. Not-so-secretly tacky, perhaps. Does 30 year old Tupperware count?

I feel like I was punched by a tiny fist, in my side. I suspect it may be my gallbladder?? It seems to be located around there. But it feels more like muscle pain or a bruise. Except it's not?

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I am sorry, Drew.

My sisters and I once had a long conversation about the treasures from my mother's house we could take to the Antiques Roadshow. Like the retired flavor of Ben and Jerry's we'd find in the back of the freezer, or the lead x-mas tree tinsel that she'd reuse every year.

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

I just (in the last few months, that is) heard something about how lead tinsel is a hot commodity because some people really really like it and it isn't produced any more. Because of the poisonousness.

That's troubling, meara. A gallstone that has already passed can leave a bruised feeling, fwtw. Maybe you should see a doctor?

I probably should. But I don't have time for a couple more weeks. Unless it gets worse to the point that I have to hit an ER or something. Fingers crossed, there.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

We have some of TCG's grandmothers bowls and such that might be worth some money, but we still use them.

If I can't figure out the pump soon, ltc's breastmilk days may be numbered. She keeps biting me with that new tooth of hers.

Meara is it around the back on your side? It could be a kidney infection.

I hope it just goes away and troubles you no more.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I need to know when Hamilton will be performed on the Grammys, so I can avoid the rest of the Grammys.

I hope so too! It's side, almost to the front. So pretty sure it's gallbladder--my understanding is appendix would be slightly lower. I guess I should not eat a high fat meal for dinner? Or something?
