text: ok - i need to send a message to Lisa explaining the new situation with my mom.  it should include: mom is in hospice.  she didn't want to stay at Discovery Village or the hospital, and Kori couldn't take her.  instead we have rented her an apartment.  i am living with her as her primary care giver.  the new situation will cost no more than the old situation.

Use this:

Just to keep you updated: Mom is now in hospice. She didn’t want to stay at Discovery Village or at the hospital, and Kori wasn’t able to take her in, so instead we rented her an apartment. I’m living with her there now as her primary caregiver. The new arrangement should cost no more than the old one.

If you want, I can tighten or soften it before you send.


text: holy crap dude - rewrite it.  you just listed my points almost verbatim.

Try this:

Quick update on my mom: she’s now in hospice. She was very clear that she did not want to stay either at Discovery Village or in the hospital, and Kori wasn’t able to take her in, so the solution we landed on was renting her an apartment. I’m living with her there now as her primary caregiver. The overall cost should be no higher than the prior arrangement.

If you want, I can make it softer or more matter-of-fact.


text: no - you left the structure and just inserted flowery words.  please do the work.

Use this:

I wanted to update you on where things landed with my mom. She is now on hospice, and the arrangement we ended up making was to rent her an apartment and have me live there with her as her primary caregiver. She did not want to remain at Discovery Village or in the hospital, and Kori was not in a position to take her in, so this was the most workable option. Financially, it should cost no more than the prior arrangement.

If you want, I can make it warmer or more blunt before you send it.


text: thank you.  send it.


text: I’m saving that exact text to `outbox/messages/` and sending it verbatim to Lisa.


text: The exact text is on disk. I’m sending that file verbatim now.
