Hm. Mom has been ill for several days, so I sit in the armchair in her bedroom and hijack her TV while she lies there, and occasionally refill her water glass. We have new cable boxes, so we get BBC America and a bunch of other stuff now, which meant Saturday afternoon was a festival of exploded space vehicles, wheezing, and Ground Force. I worked on stuffed Elrond.

Sometimes when she gets ill she hallucinates, viz:

"How ya doin'?"
"Oh, much better, thank you. The toast helped."
"Good."
"Where's Annie?"
"..." The fuck? What are you, the last episode of Twin Peaks? "I'm Annie."
"Of course you are. Where's Annie?"
"I'm. Annie."
"Oh yes."

After being informed of this, and how it freaked the shit out of me, she pipes up "Where's Annie?" at random intervals, then cackles evilly. Bitch.

Laundry room flooded this afternoon. Greens couldn't come drill the pipes, what with the massive fire destroying their building and much of their equipment, so they referred us to Roto-Rooter, who came in an hour (no small feat in the sudden snow), and gave us a Senior Discount.

Life's rich pageant.

And is inclined to turn Elros back into Twin Peaks Kyle MacLachlan instead of Doors Kyle, ahaha. ¬.¬

An amazing moment. Massive fire and they still answered their phones. Dedication, I tell ya.

The fire was two or three weeks ago. Destroyed their entire building, but one of the support staff had the presence of mind to save the hard drives.

Ann, sometimes, I want to lock your mom and mine in a room together, then see who emerges after a week.

Hoping your mom has a speedy recovery. I imagine she can use the "Annie" hallucinations from here on out if she pleases . . . probably get years and years of fun out of that.

Did you know that they never plow the Haymarket ever, ever? Because I almost had an accident on ice at a *four way stop.* That shouldn't happen.

Oh good. Nothing like brick streets with weeks and weeks of ice built up in 'em.

Cannot get image of massive franchise of "Where's Annie" jumble paintings/cartoon murals, in the "Where's Waldo?" style, out of my wooly llama head! It'll be legendary... maybe a special set where you'd be looking for shovels too!!!
