I was looking at the tv listings tonight and it seems that ABC and CBS are trying to battle for my soul.
ABC: Once Upon a Time, Revenge, 666 Park Avenue
CBS: Amazing Race, Good Wife, Mentalist
The whole earth may be sucked into Hell, and you want my help 'cause your girlfriend's a big ho?

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Fingers remaining crossed for your parents, Consuela. Alas, she may well not remember that she agreed and was reassured many times, but it will be worth it, even if you have to feel like a bully before its over. (You're really NOT. Sometimes, even when somebody is yelling and crying and whatnot, you are being the best child possible under the circumstances.)
I am SO glad that Mom got into Ann's Choice (an "independent living community"), as I feel it gave her some extra years in comfort and safety with the support she needed.
Next weekend is another marathon cleanout session in her PA apartment, which at least has the bonus of together time with family I love very much.

Thanks, Theo. The Buffistas have been really helpful keeping me driving forward on this: reassuring me that this is the way to go has really helped.

I'm really glad that cleaning out your mother's place is good family time, Theo.
I feel your pain, le n, Sunday night TV is crowded!

And my Monday night isn't much better. Sometimes it can take me until Thursday until the backlog is cleaned out.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's really nice to hear. I feel like you only hear horror stories about families, but I can totally picture mine being great, going through my grandmother's stuff. (Both as the person most likely to die next, and the one with a bunch of descendants.)

I only finished up last week's TV this morning, and there's more shows starting this week. It's a problem. Sunday, Wednesday and Thursdays I get way overbooked.

On the Sunday front, I should also note PBS: Masterpiece, plus this new Call The Midwives, which is apparently a huge hit in the UK. AND The Amazing Race starts tonight!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I just hung some things on the walls. 5 plates in the kitchen and a small painting in my bathroom. 2 years and almost 3 months in - these were all things that were on the walls in NYC.
McPhee will be pleased. Some of the plates were in a box I had her unpack 2 weeks ago and they have been sitting on a living room chair for over a week.
