ALL THE MASHED POTATOES
Oh that sounds good.
I'm sorry you find yourself in an ICU. They're not happy places.
We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

I'm glad your dad will be ok, Nora.

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.

Thank you. I do know and feel the support and strength I get here. Obviously it is difficult to share the daily blow by blow of the ups and downs of parenting this child. I'm doing okay. Apparently the turtle soul and abundance of patience I was born with is an advantage in these times. DH is the first to acknowledge that his personality type is the worst to deal with him. I believe to my very core that he will find his way and that all I really can do is be an open source of communication. Baby steps. Letting him know that I know how he is living was my baby step today. We hugged. I presented options. We'll see what tomorrow brings.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Oh, Nora, much health and stress ~ma. I'm glad it looks like your dad will be okay.
Congrats on not explodinating, sj!
Laura, he will come around eventually, he has to, he has such good role models for parents!
I am still not packed and still procrastinating. I'm so annoyed with myself. I do this every single time I travel. I don't even know why. Once I get on the plane, I'll be fine, but the two days before, I'm a wreck. At least, I've taken care of everything that had to be done, except for actually packing the suitcase, and I need to vacuum downstairs lest the petsitter think I'm a slob. I won't sleep before the flight, anyway.
