Hang in there, Suela.
Let him do his thing, and then you get him out. No messing with him for laughs.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Oh Consuela. Hugs and ma. Schedule something fun this weekend will you? Even for 2 hours.
The London shit is TOO much. I heard about it on NPR and just found it unbelievable.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Does anyone see them?
I tend not to. The reason I wrote that and not sent a link, though, was because I couldn't find one that a) didn't bash the Queen b) mentioned the play c) mentioned the knighting d) mentioned the boy thinks he met the real Queen and that's okay with his parents.
YES, those are my shots to call.
Consuela, man, I'd mail you manatees if it were legal and useful.
I have decided to start enforcing meeting durations. If you sent me an invite for half an hour, I'm going to limit how much over I'll let it go, no matter what my calendar says. I hope I can train people this way, as well as get more accomplished.

Because books.
I'm so sorry, Consuela. That's a tough day.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
I'm sorry, Consuela. I wish I had more than that to offer.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'm sorry, Consuela.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Much ~ma to you, Consuela. If I were in your neck of the woods, I'd take you for a drink myself.

'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"
Found out where the cat pee smell has been coming from on the back porch, in a blocked-off space behind some furniture and boxes. The closest my house comes to Hoarders territory. Time to clean it all, I guess...

Consuela, I'm so sorry that you have to go through all of this at once -- it would be hard enough to hack any one of those issues! Much strength to you and your family.
