Thanks, WS. I slept a couple of hours and now I'm awake again because ltc is bouncing around. I'm hoping to get a couple more hours in before I have to be up.
Captain was looking for a pilot. I found a husband. Seemed to work out.

I hope the halter doesn't point out anything unexpected, Typo.
I didn't sleep last night. Yesterday I heard that my aunt, the one in hospice, will probably pass in the next day or so. While she's a delightful person, we aren't close--due more to geography than anything else. Still, she made herself available during a difficult time in my childhood, and I'll always be grateful. Knowing she was getting on (93), I made a point of visiting her a year or so ago when she was still up for company and conversation, and I left knowing that it might well be the last time I'd see her. Yesterday's news just roiled up a lot of memories of Mom and Dad's last days, made me rethink some family dynamics, etc., and now the birds are singing and it's Tuesday. And, family dynamics or not, the cat still needs to be fed.

I'm sorry, Calli.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
That's so hard, Calli.

I think I put together enough sleep to be able to deal with today's family gathering.

My feet keep swelling up in the short time I have my compression socks off so I can shower. Not sure what to do about that.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'm sorry, Calli. That's hard. I'm glad you got to see her when you could. Sometimes the singing birds and knowing the cat still needs to be fed is all that keeps us getting up in the morning.
sj, I wish you all the spoons you need today. And waterproof compression socks.

Thanks, y'all. I'm so tired I think I'm starting to smell colors.

Thrive to spite them
I've had a crappy weekend and beginning of the week. Let me back up, since like last Wednesday things have been rocky.
It's the kind of thing that makes me wonder if I'll ever be able to work full time and even why I'm trying.

I was an hour late (putting on shoes and braces by myself has become quite a task), but I made it. And I ended up having a good time once I got over the onerousness of getting there. I even stopped at the Farmer's market on the way home. My cousins' kids are adorable and getting so big!
My mother, however is failing at her task of telling people that I will not take gifts until the baby is born. So, then I have to be the one to say "thank you, and I'd be happy to open this after ltc is born". Honestly, even looking at the pretty packages just makes me nervous, as does talk like "next time I see you you'll have had the baby!". I just want to keep adding "hopefully".
