It'll be okay, sarameg. The ups and the downs are part of the deal.

Oy, I so like stable. I'm out of my element.
Time for me to sleep, dealing again in 12 hours. ACK.

Today was 10 hours of Tempest tech. We didn't quite make it out of the storm. More thunder & lightning tomorrow!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Mom is 86 and he is 71. They are insanely cute and always holding hands and doing silly stuff together.
Nice to see the cradle robbery runs in the family, Laura.

I have insomnia because I can't decide whether to drive home today, or tomorrow. Personally, it would be WAY better to go today, because I have school starting a new unit, with some new people, on Monday night, and four hours of classes is way too much if you're wasted from driving 7 hours. So leaving today, and getting a good night's sleep, and dealing with various stuff tomorrow AT HOME would make sense.
OTOH, Mom. Who can barely get out of a chair at times, because of the pain and also the frailty.

Theodosia!
I pretty much figured that if anyone would be up now, it would be due to the evil, vile insomnia.
I'm sorry to hear that your mother's in pain. Are you the only one with her, now? Or the only family member? I didn't catch up on Natter, so I don't know how's anyone doing, really.

Yeah, the only family member in residence -- my brother can come Tuesday. There's home health aides scheduled to come in for at least two half-hour sessions morning and night.

Cereal: I've been here since last Sunday, and this has been the hardest stint yet -- Mom is in pretty bad pain with her back (compression fracture of Thoracic-8 vertebra) and total constipation, and subsequent depression/nausea, which is making her refuse to eat and take what medicine she's allowed (Tylenol and gentle laxatives).
