Got news when I woke up that Mom fell in her bathroom and broke her shoulder. She’s apparently in an ER overrun with covid cases.
Vibes and prayers and xylophones most appreciated.
So I guess it's a Monday?
Vibes for all who needs 'em!
Mom is home. She’s got meds and a return appointment.
Today is the 20th of December, and the countdown to Christmas has begun. For me, that means that places I am used to frequenting for lunch or dinner will not only be closed Christmas Day and New Year's Day, but will be closed all the days in between. Yes, that's the plan for this year, everyone shutting down for a nice long holiday week.
Ah, well. Thank goodness I can cook.
I have no plans for the coming week except MORE estate stuff.....someone did something I asked her not to do....so there you are.
I asked my sister NOT to send my aunt the appraisal list. They finally called her on the phone yesterday and were telling her about the few things they wanted.....but she sent the appraisal so now they have a shopping list and price list and we haven't heard from them since....I am sure they are checking things off like mad...
My sister is leaving Saturday for a visit with her daughter in Maryland so she wants to get everyone - ALL 24 heirs - through the house before then. But it ain't gonna happen. And I can't say anything that she doesn't say NO to....or know a better way.
So I'm not going to talk anymore. She knows so much she can do it her way......but it ain't gonna get done this week, thank you very much.

We have my aunt's list - so we are moving on. First two cousins there at 1:30 p.m. Next cousin on the list isn't interested in anything.....so then the EIGHT of us are up......
Mom is home. She’s got meds and a return appointment.

Wow. Does this mean her break isn't bad?
Continued vibes!

It is not bad. At least according to her.
The update is that it was Mom’s arm, not her shoulder. And she can’t see an orthopedic surgeon until Dec. 30.
All went well with the acupuncturist. I go back Thursday for a follow-up.
God, I hate self-pity.
I am very glad you finally got together again, and that your car behaved.
For everyone, including DR slapjaw

Re the West Side Story sequel, called Maria - it sounds like an absolutely bogus PR grab by two nobodies who either work for or with the Long Wharf Theater or not. Never heard of either, and they haven't even started writing it - why on Earth would the estate of Arthur Laurents even consider such a dopey thing. My guess is they haven't and wouldn't and we'll never hear another peep about it..

I was thinking it would be about Anybodys and the journey to transhood.

As I suspected last night - dead battery - charged now and running for ten more minutes and we'll hope for the best from there. It's worked properly for five days and I drove a LOT yesterday and it locked perfectly each time. Until I got home last night, then it didn't. I got it to beep but that doesn't work after it hasn't done it properly. Very irritating. Send vibes and xylophones that there are no more issues this week - but this is why I didn't really want to do any long drives like the one I'm about to do.
They're writing a sequel to West Side Story?
Frankly, my dear . . .
We have a Shell station here in Johnston. Not the only gas station, no. We have five or six, but I have used Shell for years. Thing is, I went there a week and half ago to fill up my car and they were OUT of Regular. They said they were expecting a delivery any day.
I drove by this morning and now they are out of ALL gas. Still open, of course, but none of the pumps are functional. I called and they said they are STILL awaiting a delivery.
I filled up at a BP station.

Or she ges to prison for participating in the killing of Bernardo and comes out a tough hardboiled dyke. Then she ends up running a lesbian bar and she ends up with Maria in the Village. They participate in the Stonewall riot.

My neighbor sent over last night a big container of her inedible chicken soup. About an hour later she called and told me to look out for any bones. Luckily, I had thew sausage roll from Ann and Jen for dinner, but now I'm trying to decide how to throw this soup out. I 'd throw it down the toilet if I knew there were no bones, and I really do not want to go on an archeological dig into it.

The soup was considered inedible before the warning about bones? I take it you've had this one before? :)
In a day of many ups and downs comes news that Mom has suffered another fall in her room. This one wasn’t as bad, but it’s still troubling.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is how the End begins. Quietly. In a typical small town in America, where one would least expect it.
Johnston, SC to the Monsters on Maple Street: "Hold my beer".
Train off the track. My aunt is coming tomorrow morning at 10 a.m.
Then everyone else should fall in line .... We shall see.
DR JANE if someone wants something on the appraisal list, they can pay the amount [everything is priced very low] - if it's not on the list South America Take It Away.
I imagine there will be plenty of stuff. After the eight of us, there are only two more - and three girls who I doubt will even stop by....
We are back from our partially successful errands. We went to Verizon first to see about a new phone for Richard. A very goofy young man eventually told me, “That’s not the way the world works,” and I wanted to smack him. We’ve decided, since we know we want an iPhone, we’ll go to the Apple Store, but not before Christmas.

I can't remember if I posted this here already or not.

Good night, friends.
Anyone familiar with Arthur Sullivan's Christmas Revels?
