All three of the triplets are still with us. It was a Flanny day to pass. (That is Sparky both have heart issues. They are all behaving strangely. But hey, they are the equivalent of somewhere between 100 and 112. So that considered, they are pretty good. Love, Bambi, Adrift son of God. May have mercy on us all.)

Lord Jesus Christ son of God. Have mercy on us all. Sparky is hiding in the bathroom. His heart is racing. P. Nut is still in pain, but eating and wanting a lot of love and attention. Flame slept with us all night.
