And now I'm thinking of the movie Big Hand for the Little Lady.

I seriously don't even know what to do.

Aw, Sophia. Just tell the guy what you just told us. He clearly doesn't have a clue what he's really asking you to do, or how hard it is.

This kind of stressful crap is the reason why I now stop myself from offering to do favors for people. And I do mean "stop myself", because the impulse to "help" is strong in this ACOA girl.

But it's not that. It's unusual pitching dominance. Which usually happens when some young superstud throws the ball 100 mph. However, R.A. Dickey is a middle aged dude who throws a knuckleball which moves about 80 mph.

That's what's so cool about it!

Just got dive bombed by a big-ass bat while getting in my mile and a third tonight. Man, they're loud. Though I hope they're having the feast of a lifetime with the mosquito boom.

Wow, the Pierces were on Letterman tonight, and they were fantastic.

The amount of emotional energy I'm putting into this is waaay out of proportion to the benefit gained, I am forced to acknowledge.

I hope there is long-term benefit. It's hard.

My dad hates that there is someone there at night to make sure he's okay. And I get that. But it's not optional currently. I can't even begin to imagine what it would be like if he had dementia too.

For a band that I didn't know existed last week, I am amused that I know who they are now. Because I've been earwormed with one of their songs for months. I just thought it was EA because of the kooky, spooky.

What is ACOA? I might have that, whatever it is. Or I have the camping version which I assume is AKOA.

I don't know who the Pierces are, but now I want to learn.

I am trying to do more for Consuela since I do live near her and adore her. Last weekend I shoved food and alcohol down her throat. But in a nice way.

Adult Children of Alcoholics.

Do NOT underestimate that. Food and booze shoved at you are really helpful in stressful times.

I forgot to either watch The Pierces or go to bed instead. I will do the bed thing now. I stumbled and fell down in the internets.

ACOA = adult child(ren) of alcoholic(s).

This post brought to you by insomnia and hip pain. I have a chiropractor appointment in 6 hours, and while I'm going to be exhausted, I'm still looking forward to it, because I could really use a break from this pain.
