erika, you know she lived in a suburb, apparently?
juliana, many many woo hoos and congrats! That is so exciting.
Nora, I am glad you are there and I am sending all the ~ma I can muster.
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

I have stress/comfort eaten ALL THE MASHED POTATOES.
My dad is still in ICU, because he needs constant monitoring, but he will be OK. It'll just take some time. He'll be glad to be done with the tube down his throat, I'm sure. Hopefully that will be tomorrow.
Ratcheting up the stress levels (of course it's not about me though) was the fact that someone in the room next door was going to be taken off on life support that evening. It was totally unexpected (I heard the close relatives tell the story to other relatives and friends) and the whole family was devastated. My heart broke for them all. I was so sad for them, but so grateful that my dad was in a different situation. Oh, man.

Always Anti-fascist!
I've got to stop even browsing the self-help books, smonster. It makes them confuse me with women who use "journal" as a verb. Also, most of them aren't worth it.

Oh that sounds good.
I'm sorry you find yourself in an ICU. They're not happy places.

Our wings are not tired.
All the mashed potatoes sounds good indeed, as does the better news for your dad. Continuing to send love and ~ma your way, Nora.

Not exploding only because I have this place.

Oh do I know that feeling well!!!
I stopped by to see #1 son today. He is staying in an empty duplex near here. So I worked up the whatever to go around back and open the door and go in. He was in there asleep on some old sofa cushions on the floor in the corner where anyone peaking in windows wouldn't see. No electric of course. We talked, then I told him I had to leave.
I'm okay. My take is that he has to have a certain degree of shame and embarrassment that his mother has seen how he is living. I guess being a homeless bum is still better than dealing with society rules. I let him know he has other options if he wants a better life.
