Baba Yaga does Phone Sales

This is deep forest Phones going from tree to tree Baba Yaga speaking how may I help you?
A Phone? you want a Phone? what sort of phone?
Tell me maam, what did you call me with? a squirril?
You called me from a Phone?  If you called me from a Phone then you have service and you don't need it.

The voices in my head have been feeding me dialog again.  Too bad that they tend to be very bad at it.

Aha Moment

Every once in a while I end up with a horrible pain in my ear connected to a migraine.  It leaves me unable to turn my head or touch the side of it.  It makes opening my mouth an agony.  On Saturday I had it visit and I finally connected the dots.  What I have is a muscle spasm in the  lateral pterygoyd muscle, that small one that opens your mouth.  It can be addressed by sticking your finger in your ear canal and pressing gently on the painful spot, while taking a finger on your opposite hand and pressing gently on the sore spot on the corner of your jaw bone until the muscle relaxes. 

They are just like Chief Runnamucks!”

Otherwise I finished a pair of slippers, due to be mailed to the small boy who needs them.
Who is Chief Runnamuck? and why does he have tiger slippers?

Dear Mom and Dad

I am sorry, I must tell you that I am not able to come down to check on Mom.  I am very aware that She is being taken care of by a great number of marvelously competent people including you Dad.  The check in and on was more for my peace of mind than her well being.  I also understand that I am too stressed out to push myself into illness over my own stupid expectations.  I realized this morning that I am in the midst of some serious happy debt.  This is in part because I have been seeing to the complex needs of my hubby the Footless Man, Michael the Geriatric Cat, and my business who has a lot of needs and takes up a lot of my time.
Enough is enough. 
I spent two hours floating around the therapy pool this afternoon, tomorrow I will find something else that I have been putting off that I need to do for me.  I will check in sometime later after I feel less like a worker drone and more like myself.
Meantime please be sure to color coordinate your clothes to the shiners Mom, and heal up fast.
Love, your daughter.

The Erstwhile Child suggested that I come down to visit.  First on Wednesday and then put off to today.  Now he is asking me to come down tomorrow.  While I am fairly flexible and I do love the guy, I get the feeling that he is not telling me what is going on and that something is.  
So I asked him to tell me what it was that he didn't want me to know.  After some heming and hawing on his part he admits that his ongoing health issue has required another med adjustment.  Well, I can understand that.  These thing happen.
What I have no idea about, is what the rules are for relating to my now grown up child.  The best I can do is to stand still and let him decide how close or far away he wants to be.  Right now he does not want me to see him in the middle of a med adjustment, OK.  So how do I be supportive with that?  I am not very skilled at operating without instructions in this case.  I hope he keeps me clued in.
I am going to do today what I would have done tomorrow, and go from there.
