> Need to get the laundry organized for Laundry Day tomorrow,

May I suggest different laundry baskets? We have 4. One for things that should be bleached, one for normal stuff, one for towels and one for stoopid picky shit that has to be dealt with special. Like my bathing suit and his compression socks. His prescription socks cost fifty bucks a pair and have to be replaced every six months, plus are right and left. You best believe I don’t put them in the dryer!!!

Thank you and happy cake day. It sounds like you had a fun birthday, I’m kinda jealous about your coffee cannoli!

> Yes. We worry.

And it is ungracious of me to be so thoughtless. I do feel badly about that and promise that it won’t happen again.

Honestly, his health is what caused my break. Of course I’ve spent enough time with Dr Google to scare myself to death, but his anti-vax/doctors are only out to make money attitude didn’t happen in a vacuum, he was raised in that ignorance and I kept getting links from his family telling me that all I had to do was feed him this or that to cure everything while spending all day every day on my knees praying and I was afraid that I would publicly flame out if I didn’t run away and hid under my bed for a while. (Of course that didn’t happen, we have a waterbed and I’m much too old/fat to crawl behind the pedestal anymore. I just spent my time stitching and playing with cats.)

I was just outside again, the cold feels different here than back in AZ. Its not as bitter is the best way I can put it. The snow is really falling and all of my footprints have filled up with snow. I thought I should maybe do something about the ramp in front of my french doors and swept it clear half an hour ago which was a total waste of time.

I wonder if maybe we should get a snow shovel and ask Harry who plows his driveway. According to everything folks have told me, it won’t be needed, but I do like to plan ahead.
