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. You don't have an easy path, 'Suela. I wish there were more than invisible people could do to support you.
Wow, the Pierces were on Letterman tonight, and they were fantastic.
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.
And I realize with time zones, I could maybe watch this. But I ought to go to sleep instead.
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.
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.
Tep, I just emailed you a stretch possible idea. And it's maybe from an email addy you won't recognize, so heads up.
Oh thanks for the definition!
Skipping oh-yeah-once-more because, according to the Buffista Calendar, today is PMM's birthday.
Happy birthday, Plei! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year!

I love love love The Pierces. Discovered them via the first season of Gossip Girl, no lie. Choreographed bellydance routines to two of their songs. Kate P. and Daisy Jane are also fans.
Happy birthday, Plei!
Happy birthday, Plei!
I have so much shit to pack still. I'm a bit overwhelmed.
