OK I gotta admit I haven't been on Spoutible in a hot minute. Been busy getting laid off, helping my mom recover from heart surgery, etc.
Can someone catch me up on how to talk to ppl who've only heard negative things about Spoutible and CB? I feel like I don't have enough info to effectively rebut.

Mom is extubated and awake and ready for visitors! My brother and nephew are going first since they need to be at work soon. So I'll go visit her in another hour or two.

Update - mom's surgery went well! But we can't go visit her until tomorrow. So I'll probably update again after that. Thanks all for the good wishes.

It's 7am and I've been up for almost three hours. This is insanity. People actually do this every day voluntarily?? It's not natural. We should all be in bed.
Anyway, mom is dropped off at the hospital and will be starting surgery any minute now. Think good thoughts.

Monday. Working my way down my post-layoff to-do list. Also need to go shopping to make sure the kids have food in the house tonight/tomorrow while I'm with my mom preparing for her surgery. I'm sleeping at her place tonight so I can take her to the hospital in the morning.

So.... I got laid off today. Not fun. It pretty much sucks.
I have consumed a fair quantity of alcohol. That's where we are for today. Tomorrow, we'll see.

#DailyPictureTheme #give One of the earliest pictures of me and my little brother, circa 1977. On this occasion I decided to #give the baby my favorite doll, and luckily mom had the camera close at hand! #cute #babies #siblings @DailyPictureTheme

Haven't been on here in a bit. Let me explain. No, there is too much. Let me sum up:
Holidays
Performances (mine and kid's)
Work
Various kid dramas
Teaching older kid to drive (more gray hairs on my head by the minute)
Less than 3 weeks until my mom's heart surgery
I think that covers it. Whew!

Today I went with my mom to meet with her cardiac surgeon about her upcoming heart surgery. The nurse was wearing this shirt 😂

Me at the grocery store filling up my cart: This is a totally normal amount of cheese
Me at home later, unpacking my bags of groceries: oh no

So... my son has been placed on disciplinary probation at his college because of his participation in pro-Palestine rallies/protests on campus. This means he isn't allowed to study abroad next semester as planned. Obviously a huge source of stress in our household the past few weeks. 😕

OMG. Is this at all REI stores?? I might need some!
Konstantine @konstantineChecked out one of my favorite store here in Raleigh today - REI - and found this little gem. It got me to wondering if @April_Sparkles has some sort of side business when not promoting raisins.01:40 PM - Dec 13, 2023

Also, I drank significantly more than my goal amount of water today, so go me. Dry winter air + upcoming choral concert = really need to up my hydration game this week. #selfcare

OK, got some stuff done and for the first time in ages I feel like I actually have my work-related stuff under control. Have I just jinxed myself by saying that???? Guess I'll find out tomorrow. For now, it's time to go sit on the couch until I start to nod off, and then move to the bed.

Hey Spoutible. I haven't been on here much lately. There's so much going on and I'm just mentally worn out. So looking forward to the holiday break so I can at least have one less thing on my mind (i.e. work stuff). Only 9 workdays to go..........

#DailyPictureTheme My two babies on their going-home-from-the-hospital days (~3 years apart). Hard to believe they were so #tiny and now they're both taller than me! 😍 #parenting @DailyPictureTheme

#WorldAIDSDay is also a day to thank healthcare professionals like @FruitFacedFruitKace @jnasty for giving love, caring, & kindness to AIDS patients, on their death bed, that were abandoned by their heterosexual families. Because of y'all, they didn't die alone. Thanks y'all for being there for them

I just feel terrible for George Santos’ mother. Imagine dying three separate times, including on 9/11, and then your son gets expelled from Congress. That’s a string of bad luck.
