Colleen[23]: (Lack of) progress

So, apparently because Kaiser home health are dragging their collective feet, Colleen will be coming home on Monday. It's not all bad: I'll have more time to get the house in order, and it'll simplify the weekend's logistics a little. But it's mostly bad, and Colleen is, understandably, nearly mad enough to throw things. I'm less upset, but that's because I'm a pessimist and I'm not the one in there.

In other news, I bought a commode. Whee. It doubles as a booster for too-short toilet seats, such as one finds in most hotels.

The changing context of language

Tonight I heard the word "tongue-lashing", and the images it conjured up were distinctly weird.
