I am so, so sorry you guys. I just wanted to share gluten-free vegan chocolate zucchini bread with an attractive link, and now I've ruined everything.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The what now?! Chocolate does NOT touch vegetables, good god.
In other news, I have earned a gold medal in procrastination today. I did all kinds of household stuff and haven't even OPENED A WORD DOCUMENT yet. In a minute, I say to myself, and wander away for a cigarette.

Why did the horizontal line between Jesse & David's posts end up down here, just above the posting box? SO WEIRD.
ION, the cook we hired to cook for my folks has twice cancelled because of car problems, and today is apparently in the ER.
And apparently my mother yells at my father all the time, and won't take her medications in the morning half the time, which makes her mood worse. I don't see how much longer this can go on. Either I'll have to move in with them, or they have to get full-time caregiving.

I vote full-time care that is not you.
Semi-relatedly, is it just my age or does there seem to be an uptick in multi-generational homes again? I was thinking the other night that split design houses with only a shared kitchen would be really good for situations of elderly parents needing full-time care, but the children wanting to be there also. And similarly, they would work well for families that due to unemployment or underemployment who have to move in with parents or siblings.
A duplex is really what I think my parents and I should get as they get older, but of course they are all "we need more space blah blah blah cakes". Ignoring the fact that I do not really want to live right beside them, but it would be most convenient in cases of emergency and old parentness.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yes. Because of the economy.

Timelies all!
The asshole contingent in politics is being very vocal this week, huh? Gah...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Consuela, don't do it. You feel like you should, but you're not a professional. Your personal connection to them probably makes you worse qualified for it, not better. Don't.
I'm still so terrified about my parents. We've thought about a lot of things, but not slow deterioration. Not mental deterioration. I can say lots of things about other people's families but I look at my sister and all the things she did when my mother was sick last year and I just feel like shit.
