Hello, Sweetie

Our poor Doctor. He’s so harangued by River Song. LOL. Even the brief, surprise greeting of, “Hello, Sweetie,” elicits such a hangdog response that you just want to put your arm around The Doctor and tell him that everything will be okay. Being out of the loop, I had no idea there was a current running through fandom with theories about River. I’m pretty bad to take a plot point at face value and just let the story play out, but now I’m dying to get into the conspiracy theorists’ minds.

That’s the big difference with the new series; it’s smarter. Certainly not to disparage RTD’s helm, which was still largely better than anything else on television, but the nuances now are just a bit more mature and cerebral. Perhaps the least cerebral clue, as I mentioned before, is “The Crack” and though I did not spot the crack in the episode, it’s FINALLY being seen by The Doctor in the preview for next week’s episode. Next week’s episode, by the way, looks to be full of excitement, and motion, and intrigue.

In what I consider to be the mark of greatness for a show, a Twitter friend of mine is just getting into Doctor Who, and I’m proud to have him jump on board with Eleven and Amy. Welcome to the greatest show on Earth. Or Gallifrey. Or Raxacoricofallapatorius. Or, well, you get the picture. With The Doctor and the TARDIS, anything is possible!

  1. Many people underestimate how isolating staying at home alone can be for seniors. Your focus on the community aspect of Independent and Assisted Living is important. I found similar emphasis on social wellness on memory care .

  2. Your section about reviewing contracts and understanding what’s included in the monthly fee versus extra charges is very practical. I used fee breakdown examples from elderly care while comparing several Assisted Living communities.

  3. For those of us caring for someone with mild cognitive decline, knowing when Assisted Living is still appropriate versus when a Nursing Home is needed is critical. I read some helpful guidelines on memory care that align with your points.

  4. It’s helpful that you mention the emotional side of moving, not just the logistical differences. On senior care , I saw advice about supporting seniors emotionally through transitions that complements what you’re saying.

  5. What I love about intimate memory care homes is the familiar routine and stable staff. It’s much easier for residents with dementia to feel safe when they see the same faces every day. Sites like respite care help families understand these benefits.
