By chance, how well does your place keep out the weather? Is it drafty? Are the windows single pane, and you can feel the outside temperature?
This house was built in 1890. It's incredibly drafty, the windows are all single pane, and during the winter, I put up insulated curtains on the big windows, but it's still freezing.
Oh, Cass, it's so hard, isn't it?
It really is. But it's exactly why I moved here. It would be unbearably hard to not be here.
Actually my Dad even said he was really happy that I had moved. It was on Friday which was a really hard day for him and it was out of the blue. I managed to not completely cry. I am never forgetting that moment.
I just finished unpacking my last box last week. Seriously, how many years have I been in this house??
Oh, if I even pause in unpacking, I tend to stop. That's why it has to be done now. Honestly, some old pictures are boxed and staying that way. I labeled the boxes with the year when I packed them. Clearly I knew they were going to be stored, not unpacked.
And the nicer and more mine I make this place, the better.
I'm sorry, Cass.

I'd venture to guess the insulation in the walls is nil or next to nil. If you can insulate for weather, the noise transmission will decrease greatly.

Oh. I'm so glad. And I'm so sorry about the slow loss you are going through. {{Cass}} Thank you for sharing with us.
Also, {{Scrappy}} Many thoughts for you and your wonderful kick ass mom and your family.
We have been Buffista-ing up New Orleans this weekend, though sadly, Aims will be leaving us in the morning. Everyone should have an Aims visit, it's so awesome!
Awwwwww! I have been having a great time. I really, really needed this getaway and Nora, Tom, and smonster have been fabulous.
Cass, I am so sorry. I am glad you and your dad got to have that moment, but how difficult for you, love. I wish there was more I could say.
Scrappy, so much ma for your mom and your family. I am glad you were able to be there with her.
I miss Joe and Em like crazy, but damn I do not want to get back to real life. There is still food here to eat!!!
Love those moments, Cass, wallow in them as much as you can.

Oh Cass, I am so sorry. It's one of the hardest things you'll ever go through. I won't lie and say it gets better because it doesn't, but you do eventually come to terms with it and learn to hold on tightly to moments like that one.
Cass, it's wonderful you and your dad had that moment. I would have bawled
He'd be horrified at his life now. The physical limitations are huge but it's the mental impairment that breaks my heart. THIS. This is what happened to my dad's mom, it was her worst fear and it was heartbreaking and rage-inducing (at the universe.) I am so sorry, love, but glad you can spend time, no matter how painful in moments, with your daddy.
