It's a koan: how do you meet with the people that aren't there?
Jeez, don't get all Movie of the Week. I was just too cheap to buy you a real present.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

update:
insurance paid for last night in the psych ward but would not pay for another night, so mac was discharged and we are now home. we have prescription, but can't get it until tomorrow.
my dad did not make it on to the first flight here, he may be here around 11, maybe tomorrow morning.
we are seeing a psych on SAT and his therapist is coming back to see him on TUES.
he's like calm and chill. I'm on edge and faking calm.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Yeah, I did, without flipping out too much, and she validated my aggravation, which was helpful.
I'm still annoyed but tempered by the fact that a) I was a productive mofo today and saved several people's butts, one of which b) was a 4:50 SOS call from our Australian team, so there was a point to me being there at that time. And c) am now on my way to drink heavily.

Our wings are not tired.
msbelle, you and mac are in my thoughts and prayers. As many calm and chill vibes as I can muster are headed your way.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Good luck with everything, msb.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
My thoughts and prayers are with you and mac, msbelle.

Hang in there, sweetie.
So I just got off the phone with my friend, and who showed up at the residential treatment hearing but the stepson's biomom. Who has been absent for 9.5 years. Who wanted to discuss the custody agreement. This was not the place for that. Um. They all agree he should have access to her at some point, but not in the middle of treatment..
Anyway, the hearing itself basically got postponed for other boring reasons, but boggle.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
was a 4:50 SOS call from our Australian team
They called you up to sing ABBA tunes? That's awesome.

I was at the office until almost 7 waiting for incoming work from a client who was supposed to get it to me two days ago, so it can be done by end of day next Monday. Guess who never sent me the materials I'm waiting on? (Though at least my supervisor called at 6:45 to let me know I wouldn't be getting anything tonight...)
Dear client: if I could wiggle my nose and make things get done instantaneously by magic, I would not be wasting that gift working for you.
