I'm so sorry, Consuela. I'm specially glad your brother-the-doctor is going to be on hand to help navigate the medical conundrums and help pick among the lesser of evils.

Woke up before dawn to the sound of cats yowling. Amazingly it wasn't any of our household furballs, but strangers outside. So much for sleeping in....

So mr. flea woke up this morning and confessed that he had had a dream in which he was unfaithful to me. With Cheryl Ladd. I cannot describe how hilarious I find this.

Oh, Consuela. Just breathe.

I am so not in the right headspace for my annual review at work today. Fuckit is not the best attitude. Sigh. Off to work.

Consuela, I don't know if you've been in touch with your local Alzheimer's Association, but they can be a great resource for getting referrals and figuring out "care solutions." [link]

Am on a train. Jessica, I may be adjacent to you (sunset park, Clinton hill) tonight/tomorrow. After I go to this meeting and don't die. I hope the Internet can distract me today.

Consuela, you are in my thoughts - I wish you all the strength and a really good climb as soon as possible. .

Severe Texas weather missed us, just lots of rain and loud skies. Scared dogs (we are dog-sitting an 80lb lab) and mac made for little sleep, but no tornado, so I will take it.

Consuela, I am so sorry life is piling up. It does sound like a nursing facility is what your mother needs and what your father needs her to be in.

Suela, that is just so stressful, I feel awful for you. I hope that things get better soon for you; it's been one thing after another.

Oh, Consuela, that's hard. I'm so sorry this has been so stressful.

Have fun, Sox!

What should I have for lunch today?

Oooh, I could go to Popeye's.

Mmm, Popeye's. I haven't had that in a while. But I have an avocado and shrimp packed for lunch today, I think I'll stick with that.

Today I am planning to solve the How Do I Store The Other Half of the Avocado Problem by eating the whole damn thing.
