The GOOD: I think I can get MOLLIE running with the new molecules now

The BAD: my great aunt is in the hospital and it has been said she likely won't be leaving

The BAD: my grandmother and said great aunt are really, really close--to give you an idea how close, they were generally paired together in early childhood (b/c out of all of their siblings they were closest in age), they went to high school together, shared an apartment, got married (separate ceremonies, different times

), moved into the same neighborhood, and the longest time they were apart before my aunt's children decided to move her, their father, and their brother out to a smaller little development which was meant to be safer but is a completely different story--the longest and farthest apart they have been was a period of some months and a couple blocks when my grandparents moved to a bigger house!
The BAD: so it stands to reason that my grandmother will not take this well

The WORSE: I'm a quarter of the world away and more or less dependent on my parents for getting home in the event something happens

(my parents are kind of fail at the "doing things that involve a) reliability or b) spending of their own money")
The GOOD: pie! ! !

The BAD: pie is gone now

The POSSIBLY GOOD: I will make more pie and improve on the technique

The WANT: I haven't made biscuits in a while... it's odd... I'm not good at it yet, and yet I get cravings for tasteh biscuits.

The WANT: (as in lack) shortening for same

*will stop rambling now*
