Might be a little depressed.

Mom is safely ensconced in [insert name here when I remember it], a Skilled Nursing Facility in Kirkland.  I'm not sure if that should be capitalized, but it sounds like it whenever anyone says it.  Currently the plan is for Mom to move to Raleigh to live with rechercher & Corde.  Corde has training in geriatric care and is not currently working, so she'll ( Read more... )
