Feeling any better, Kristin?
You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I hope you are feeling better ,PK. Word on the street for the cold I have is that it hangs on-- one day you feel better , but it takes a few more days to feel a little more better.
{{Laga}} hope the words of others have helped.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Laga, stick to your guns on this one. Try to gently remind your mom that not being accepted into the group is part of the natural consequences for the habitual behaviors of this sister rather than a "punishment", and that protecting others from the consequences of their behaviors is what enablers do, and it keeps them from facing the true need to change. It hurts like hell, stopping the enabling, because so much of what it is feels like being loving and helping. Telling such a person that there will be unpleasant consequences of continuing in a behavior then giving in on those consequences is rather like giving a child a cookie to shut 'em up out of a screaming tantrum. Doesn't solve the root of the problem, and reinforces the idea that carrying on is the way to get what they want.
SO MUCH THIS!!!!
God, I'm tempted to phone your mum myself and say this! Your sister is so far over the line that she can't even see the damn line with binoculars. Mixing up your 'this is not acceptable, and we do not accept it' message would only serve to fuck you all over.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
This morning when I went to work it was 19°. This Wednesday the temperature is supposed to reach 59°. Crazy.

The big giant hand's notes say that Autumn left yesterday too. But I only see three puppies today.

Laga, I hope everything works out.
Raq, lots of healing ~ma for your step-aunt.
Today is some sort of feast day, so it's a holiday at my U. I volunteered to work since my DH has to work anyway, and it's really dead around here. There are students (we're in the middle of finals) but the library is the only thing open in the building -- all the other offices and the cafe is closed. Zzzzz!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
So much ~ma to your indispensable relative, Raq. And to the rest of your--and her--family, too.
