Oh sara, I'm so sorry. It must be so hard for you to be so far away from them right now.
What should I do, then? Send her a gift? Sacrifice? … Unholy fruit basket?

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Sara, I'm thinking good thoughts for all of you. I'm glad your mom has a support person locally.
That is such a shame about the bookstore. Even accidental book burning pings me.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
-t, you were curious about all the pie plates I bought. Look at the buildings in the background of this photo [link] noting the lights in the windows. Here is what the back of that looks like. [link]

Yum!
It looks great. I'll find out how it tastes tomorrow! Probably good, because I think I finally figured out how to make good frittatas that aren't too spongey.

sara, Carolyn joining the trache club is not good but it is necessary. Glad your mom has a sounding board.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
For some reason, it really seems like the plural of "frittata" should be "frittata." Like "deer."

"Tatas" did give me pause.
New normal. There's just my boss and I, and he decided to save money and close the Highland Park office. He has the server in his home office and I use a VPN.
How's that working out for you?

Wow, you made that. That's amazing!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
How's that working out for you?
The transition was really stressful at first (my boss got mad at me for a few things which weren't my fault) but it's been better lately. I just gotta get out and do more walking to make up for not walking to the train station every day.

Kat, yeah. It's better than more than 3 weeks intubation with the broken ribs, pneumonia, etc. It's still just hard, she isn't coming out of sedation particularly well. Actually talked to mom tonight. She dodged some stuff, it's ok, what she needs to function. This is a long haul.
