she should tattoo herself with notes, just sayin.

My brother and I were discussing last night that we may hit the trifecta in out family: mac in puberty, me in menapause, one of the parents in dementia. My brother said that would just leave him with addiction and that probably would be his only response.

Because books.

I know it shouldn't, but that made me laugh. The family that dysfunctions together ... ?

oh it should make you laugh. My brother gives me so much financial assitance, that I have told him to call me when he needs an organ. His response has been that he will just want to die should he get to that (it should be noted that he is the healthiest of all of us), so I've offered to administer the drugs. We are nothing if not grimly supportive.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I know it shouldn't, but that made me laugh.

Made me laugh!

And honestly, if you don't have that ...

I watched the season finale of Glee earlier, and now I have mild crying hangover. Stupid show.

Made me laugh too! That really is the trifecta, but won't mac be in puberty before you're in menopause?

I want to put my head down on the desk and sleep. Do not want today even a little. Please to make it better.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I thought puberty lasts 20 years.

Do I have that wrong?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

So far this morning, the library check in system is broken, one of the partners has asked me to print him a copy of an article on page B7 of yesterday's WSJ (all the information I had) and then taken yesterday's WSJ, the free Westlaw password emails to the summer associates went into the spam filter, and I have figured out who the needy summer associate is going to be this year.

Can I go home now?

probably, but the joke is my body starts everything 10 years early. mamms at 30, colons at 40, cholesterol at 40.

I thought puberty lasts 20 years.

the bad judgements and non-formed brain, more like 12-15 years, but the full on crazy hormone stuff - that best not last more than 5-7 years. although with mac, how are we really going to tell?

I don't truly know what I'm talking about, but I don't think menopause is one of the areas where you want to be an overachiever.

I thought puberty lasts 20 years.

Depends on the person? My bro was a royal PITA for at least a good decade, whereas my husband was, according to him mom, an ungrateful wretch for only a 3 year stretch. She tried to milk it for sympathy, but I thought she was very lucky to have such a short run of it.
