Thank you for the offer.

I have a vacation house a little over an hour away they are staying at until they can find someplace closer to work/school.

My mom already contacted their doctors regarding medication.

I think the hardest part so far is the emotional part for them.

I feel like April Ludgate from P&R when she planned all of the dumb meetings to happen on March 31st, because she thought it didn't exist.

Well, that's me. I have too much to do today to even attempt it lol. Going out to Waynesboro and will be fly fishing the South River. Then I need to be back home to clean and prep my house for a guest this weekend AND then it looks like Silversun Pickups with my buddy at the National. deep breath

Oof, went through this with my mom’s cat a few months ago. I have major regrets about avoiding petting her because she was an oddball and skiddish. So sorry for your family’s loss of Chica!

Gonna take a stroll to grab a coffee in a bit, kinda in the mood for a more indulgent drink than my regular iced coffee.

Getting my booster this afternoon - I must’ve missed a round of boosters at some point because I’ve only gotten the one, last December. Whole family has had covid recently so just doing my part to protect The Grandparents in a few weeks. Anyway, I don’t handle needles well so I’ll be a full grown adult borderline in tears. Can’t wait!

I try to mix together different consistencies. I picked up this fancy ass organic soil when I repotted my monstera but it's too dense, so I mixed it half and half with cactus style soil to drain better. It's lookin for something to grab onto though probably, monsteras are a climbing plant

I woke up early today to head over to my mom's house. Her cat Chica was on her last leg yesterday, so we were going to have her put down this morning. She passed about 4am. So while I'm glad she didn't have to suffer the fear of going to a vet, I am very sorry I didn't get to pet her one more time.

Do y'all use any kind of special potting soil for your houseplants? This monstera is sprouting roots above the soil so I think it needs a bigger pot to call home.

I’m so sorry to hear that. As a former DAT member for the Red Cross, I know this can be a long road to recovery and an emotional roller coaster. I’m glad you’ll be able to spend time together as a family though - regardless of the location.

Do they have immediate housing? A list of any current meds that need replacing? Toiletries or other basics needed to get through the next couple days? Can we help in any way?

Had to do school drop off twice as my youngest left his backpack at home.

I think I am gonna try and go for a bike ride since the sun is actually out.
