Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

I mean, not to be like "OMG, you really need to calm down!" or anything--more "OMG, you deserve a chance to freakin' relax"

I've had rather more to drink in the last week than usual, and frankly it hasn't really helped. Going for a hilly bike ride on Sunday with my brothers was a better option, frankly.

Thank fuck UPS finally delivered the Clonopin, so I dropped that off this morning. Last night I emptied all the perishables out of the old apartment fridge, and picked up some stuff that had been left behind, including a bottle of whiskey for my dad.

The big push will be getting him to disengage from her when she starts going off. My sister discovered him looking up apartment listings online yesterday! DAD, NO. t facepalm

I think this first week is going to be the hardest

I think, frankly, it's going to be the first couple of months. I am tempted to tell my sister not to have the folks over for dinner for a week or so, in case Mom refuses to leave.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I think that's a good call, really. I heard recently about a nursing home (so a different situation) that doesn't allow visitors for the first week or something, to get the person really settled into the new routine, with no "outs."

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

Probably not appropriate for Good Stuff Happened Today: Deer Attacks Two Men, Steals Their Cigarettes

Rose approached the deer and he says the deer seemed friendly. But then Kellis and Rose say the deer then charged them and started to attack.

Rose and Kellis ran to Rose's pick-up truck to try to get away from the wild buck. The deer then "poked" Rose in his ribs, so Rose jumped out of his truck into the back-bed. Rose says he left his driver-side door open and the deer climbed in and took his pack of cigarettes that were sitting in his center console.

The deer starting eating Rose's smokes, and when Rose tried to get them back, Rose says the deer got more aggressive.

Maybe not appropriate, but damned funny.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Exercise is great for exorcising stress.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Difference between coping and escalating, stat! God, 'suela, I feel for you so much. And your father, and your mother. The pressures that are on you all (including your mother's imagined version of same) have got to be exerting a huge amount of push-pull for you all, and I hope (and believe) that the introduction of more family members to share the load pays off as soon as possible, so you don't increase your stress. Here's to some of these events being only in the rearview mirror and shrinking in size as you keep moving forwards.

Which is why I skate roller derby.

You skate roller derby so you can fuck people up without risking arrest.

Don't lie--I know that look in your eye. Very intimately.

My head is killing right now. I begged off the first couple hours of work, but it's not abating. And I have deadlines.

FUCK.
