ita, Brene Brown is interesting. I haven't read the book, but I listened to her on On Being and she was decidedly thought-provoking.
Giles: I'm sure we're all perfectly safe. Dawn: We're safe. Right. And Spike built a robot Buffy to play checkers with. Tara: It sounded convincing when I thought it.

SYTYCD on Wednesday! Thank goodness -- I've been watching a lot of Frontline this week, and I don't know how much more I can take...

Oh! This afternoon, my mother and went to see my father and check out the protestant church service they have. So he was asleep and couldn't wake up, so my mother and I went to the service anyway. It was some people from a real Bible Baptist church, and the guy preached for 20 minutes! To a room full of mostly unaware or uninterested people! Yikes. AND said several things I vehemently disagree with. But the songs were real old-timey ones my father would probably like, so maybe another time? We'll see.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Oh Jesse, that's got to be hard, many hugs to you and your mother.

Oof, Jesse. That seems excessive for the people--was it almost all people from the facility or were there other family member types like you guys?
I am exhausted--so much dancing this weekend! But good. And now wishing October was sooner, when I will see these folks again. But then I also got to hang out with my cousins (and a bit more tomorrow)!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I tried on all the clothes in my closet. Two large laundry baskets to get rid of. Brutal. Losing lots of stuff I really liked, several vintage dresses, cute summer skirts, all of my pants. Tomorrow I'll divide what goes straight to thrift and what gets an attempt at eBay. If anyone size 8 or 10 is looking to add to wardrobe and wants to see pics, holler.

I don't care how long I've technically been awake, motivating myself to go swim first thing in the morning is HARD. And I've got to get in before the pool tyrants (I call them something meaner) that are the morning senior water aerobics classes get in there. They.don't.share.

'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"
Last time I looked in the closet for stuff to give to charity I got real depressed, because even though I don't wear most of it, I still like them. Feh.

All from the facility! It was in a different unit (not specific to dementia), but most of the people there didn't seem any great shakes.

So, they say it's going to be nice and warm out today, but so far it's still 60 and rainy. I liked last weekend better!
