We figured out the problem.
Apparently, my daughter’s brain has been tie-dyed.
First, before anything else, I have to say this: Happy birthday to my one and only, most beloved BFFD. 25 years and counting. כן ירבו. Love you more than words can say.
Ok then.
So, on Monday, we – by which I mean, G, R, and I [...]

SuperStroke appointment approaches.
Things are mostly arranged. G, R, and I will be staying at my friend’s house the night before. That is, my friend TNH, who lives close to the SuperStroke hospital, and who happens to be one of my oldest and dearest. She says her husband will barbecue in our honor, which means G [...]
Nice, no?
What makes this even nicer/cuter/sweeter is that G is color blind, and as such can’t even fully appreciate such things, but he thought this sunset looked “unusual,” so he snapped the picture and sent it to me just in case. “Is it a good one?” he asked when I told him I got it. [...]
Wow. I mean, like WOW.
So this Shabbos we had some guests. Lovely Family #1, consisting of Lovely Mother, Lovely Father, and Lovely Kids ages 3, 2, and 0 (that is, 2 months), slept downstairs in the two guest rooms, which had been scoured top to bottom in preparation for Elder Sister’s family staying there on [...]

I wrote most of this post in March and April. It was one of the first things I did when I started the blog. In fact, purging the whole Psycho Pneumonia nightmare from my mind was one of the things that motivated me to blog in the first place. The whole experience was still sort [...]
This is our new chair. You know, the one I rescued from a Manhattan trash heap.
Isn’t it lovely? Be honest. Could you have let the waste removal people take such a thing away? For what? Was someone going to sit on it at the landfill? It’s in totally fine condition. And now it’s mine mine mine. [...]
Things that make you smile
Your child (YS), being a raving genius and all, is in this enrichment program at school. She brought home a special assignment that required making up a creature, and drawing a picture of it, and then describing it using “nonsense words” and “context.” So YS thought of a creature, named [...]
Really it’s the 5th of November that’s the subject of that little British rhyme, but today is the 2nd of November, not the 5th. Can’t have everything.
So remember how RS had lice (past tense! she does not have it anymore!), so we were taking her to get her head shaved hair cut on Friday, along [...]

[This conversation happened on Wednesday, the 28th. Didn't feel like posting it then.]
“Hello, is this the mother of R?”
“Yes, this is Miriam.”
“This is Scheduler Lady, from the SuperStroke team? We have an earlier appointment available for R, and I wanted to know if you wanted to have that appointment?”

Ahem.

I don’t know; how about if [...]
