That's funny, we'll be at Nanita's this afternoon. What a coincidence.
Yup!

Our wings are not tired.
Oh my, I'm so sorry that so many are having end of year sadness.
Quick recovery wishes for smonster's sister and Burrell's MIL.
{{Connie}} I am so sorry for your loss.
Nora, so much comfort and strength to you and your friends. What a horror.
Welcome back to Ginger and Shir.
"You can't control how you feel, you can only control how you act. Judging feelings is a waste of energy."
I will have to try and remember that and not waste energy for feeling like a bad mom for resenting my son for sucking so much joy out of life. Blah. Can't he just be 30 already?
{{Teppy, Tim, & puppy}} I hate when I have to leave Brandy for exactly this reason.

Caretaker can be a shit ass role, Steph. Especially when you haven't really signed up for it. It's needed, and it's rewarding, and it's a good thing. But it also sometimes sucks balls, and there no reason at all you shouldn't say so.

{{{Teppy}}} I'm sorry you have had such a difficult year. I hope 2011 is much better for you.
I'm watching OMWF while baking for the party tomorrow. I should be cleaning too.

I cleaned the bathrooms and changed the sheets. Heaven.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
My dad had rotator cuff surgery, and I was, as usual, his caretaker, because he will never, EVER call anyone else.
I empathise, Teppy. I'm alone this NYE because The Girl was summoned to be with her parents when her brothers buggered off skiing. Wishing you a better 2011, and many healing vibes for the dog.

Oh, Steph. God dammit. You've got ton of my ~mas.
And thanks, everyone. It's good to be back. But I think I'll update when it'll be more quiet around here. For now, I do hope 2011 will show you nothing but its finest, and I hope y'all had a good Christmas.

Teppy, it does suck to be the lone caretaker. The fact that it sucks and you feel it doesn't mean that you're not a good daughter.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I wish the dog would stop fussing so I could let her out of the cage but she keeps starting up again every time I get ready to let her out. (She was caged for attempting to climb onto the kitchen table to get at the clementines.) If I let her out while she's fussing, she learns that fussing works.

Can you 'treat' her when she's quiet until she stays quiet and then let her out?
