1.  Length of ancestral marriage precised in P-math, D2 ma'am.

2.  We have stood in a crowded Victoria's Secret checkout line with two fistfuls of Many-for$Many calzones while Somebody went back for even more, so there D2 ma'am.

Many.  In Spanish, we are Sr. T-Hueso, si D2 ma'am.  In Latin, we are T-Os, dead language man.  In Polish, we are W-Wychczyzkskowslawczyzk, oj tak.

1. Oh yeah. it's been many, many moons. 

2. That is probably the most romantic thing I've r... wait you said calzones, Spanish. REPORTED!

3. I have to say, T-Hueso sounds fancy. T-Bone sounds like a weird sex thing.

They can live without me for three weeks!

I will definitely need a break. 

Also I don't know how long this immigration thing will last, but I might as well make the most of it.

The admission/discharge merry-go-round is frustrating and usually inevitable, sigh Eh ma'am.

Totally inevitable. The only change is going to be for the worse.  She's 87 this year, and spiraling downhill. The only person who doesn't grasp the principle of mortality is the patient herself. She's really in a state of utter disbelief, and says so. Had a pretty charmed life, really. Only child of wealthy parents, spoiled, indulged by all of her husbands. When she couldn't get her way, she threw money at the problem until she could. By fair means, or foul, she's written her own ticket. None of that can help her now.

She's having 'some sort of test, I dunno what' tomorrow afternoon. Nurses tell me it's a cardiac cath. Had nitro, being monitored, waiting until tomorrow for the test. Nurse said they will call my if they need answers to questions that matter, she's unable to give reliable info now.

I called her daughter last night, but it went to voicemail. She rang me back this morning, on a break, but couldn't talk for long, and she can't have her cell phone inside work. She was really more interested in telling me about the cruise she is off on the end of the week. She is her Mother's child.

I can explain it to you. But I can't understand it for you.
