My niece sent me 8 essays for a scholarship (after I offered) and I'm revising and sending comments back. It is so much easier for me just to completely rewrite them than it is to offer feedback.
I would be there right now.

I'm getting the pig!
My thoughts are with you, msbelle. My Aunt T adopted her now 32 year old son M when he was 8, I think, and had a really rough go of it. I'm glad your brother is close-by and is able to help out when needed.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
This probably belongs in music, but I'm never there. Interesting stuff.
Video explains the world's most important 6-sec drum loop
This fascinating, brilliant 20-minute video narrates the history of the "Amen Break," a six-second drum sample from the b-side of a chart-topping single from 1969. This sample was used extensively in early hiphop and sample-based music, and became the basis for drum-and-bass and jungle music -- a six-second clip that spawned several entire subcultures.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Hoping you're having a good morning, msbelle. Goodness knows, you're deserving of one, and mac, too.

well he is still sleeping, so I have had a blessed 40 min so far alone getting awake. He slept in my bed last night which is SOP after a big break like last night. I am sore across my back and one arm, no doubt from re-straining him and moving him home.
I haven't worked a good routine for me yet for the day after, but he will go to his uncle's for a few hours and I am going to try some meditation and yoga in that time.
We have the psychiatrist tomorrow, so that is very good. I'll be calling her and the therapist today also - I should do that before the meditation/yoga since it will re-agitate me.

hip deep in pie
My cats had a scrap a while ago and Oz leaped on Clio's back. Now Clio's tail is drooping. Sigh. She's fine now, but Dr. Google says it may be broken or dislocated. She's in no pain, but she I think she doesn't have any sensation in the end of her tail. (It is still twitching.) Right now I am watch and observe mode, but if she stays like this, I think I may hold off call the vet until tomorrow.

it's going to be ups and downs like this for years and maybe ever. Teaching him skills to control himself is slow going, medicine can only do so much until he learns to feel when the out-of-control times are starting.
