She doesn't want to spend time planning for something that shouldn't happen. Won't happen.
She's clearly never worked in the nuclear industry.
Can we maybe vote on the whole murdering people issue?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Dammit -- the building I live in is for sale, as I suspected. At least I have a lease this time, but I really didn't want to have to move again so soon!

Didn't that just happen to you before?
So me and my empanada boyfriend are going to open an empanada booth in Cairns next weekend. Or something like that. Sometime flirting at 8:30 in the morning goes odd places.

And someone feline apparently tried to assassinate the toilet paper.
Devi's wheezy. It doesn't seem to bother her much, but I think her mild stuffy nose isn't so mild anymore. I don't like it. I foresee a vet visit for more than just the usual shots next week.
But for now, I've got to get out to Ellicott City.

How did we get to December, again? November seems to have been really rather fraught.

November seems to have been really rather fraught
November was awful. December is starting out with a stomach ache, and my mother put her back out while sleeping (according to second-hand reports).
OTOH, I saw November out with a Springsteen concert, so I woke up singing "Land of Hope and Dreams".
I met the XD of the senior facility yesterday, and she said that Mom was never going to be happy anywhere, but that they thought they were getting incremental improvement in her attitude over the week. Despite this, at 6:30 last night my dad called and told me they wanted to move back to the old place. I pointed out he'd given me the keys and it was going to be sold. And then my mother got on the phone and started swearing at me, so I hung up.
I'm down three pounds from before Thanksgiving.
It's really hard to support my dad when he keeps trying to undercut his own position!

Thrive to spite them
Consuela, I hope the XD is right about seeing an improvement in your mom. Even though she still trying to leave, her attitude actually at the facility might be improving a little bit.
Has she started Haldol yet?
(I just typed Hordor instead of Haldol...)

Ugh, 'suela. That's the worst. In some ways, though, it allows your dad to not have to be the bad guy. He's the in-between, but is it possible he really doesn't want to move, but it's easier for you to be the bad guy (for him)?

Yes, but I don't think that's conscious: he's not that subtle or deceitful. It's just that he's old and frail and manipulable. He knows they need to stay but he doesn't know how to make it happen by himself.
Rather than deal with them directly this morning I'm going to go out to the old apartment and pack up their Christmas stuff to set up in the new place.
