It's all about choices, Faith. The ones we make, and the ones we don't. Oh, and the consequences. Those are always fun.

So there is a major flaw in my plan. Being alone allows me to start processing everything, like how scared I was on Friday and how upsetting it all was, and......I start to cry. Crying at work is really NOT ON.

So, no more of that.

I related news, I expect the mother of all breakdowns when mac leaves home in 10 or so years and I finally work through all the surpressed mess. I should start socking away money for that now. Perhaps by then we will have a re-vamped health care system and one will be able to have home health care mental health specialists.

Hard on the professionals too!

Work is now in crisis/firefighting/seat-of-the-pants mode. And will be for the next, oh, 4 months.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Oops.

My parents always told me the first kid is like the first pancake. Don't worry if you screw it up - you can always make more.

Unrelated, I am really enjoying the Times Reader software. The crossword interface is a dream.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

My cat was all clingy and meow-y this morning, but that could have been due to my being up early and going in and out to do laundry before going to work. After I got all my clothes clean, I jumped into the shower, which got her all worked up again--every other month or so, she becomes concerned over my habit of voluntarily getting wet (she doesn't care the rest of the time) and sits on the sink and meows full blast the entire time the water's running. Today, she became even more worried when I didn't get out right away (I was rinsing the shampoo suds down the drain) and stuck her fuzzy black head around the edge of the curtain to see if I was all right.

This weekend I managed to have a splinter which got minorly infected, burn myself, stab myself under the finger nail with a pushpin, and scrape my cuticle, all on the fingers of my right hand. These injuries were also an apt metaphor for the weekend.
