Minet's Mom pretty much cried through the whole thing, and on tge way home. She was still hoping to get enough money together to take Big M back.

Poor thing. Many virtual hugs all round.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm sorry for all of you guys.
On the Stuff, my mother frets about all the shit in the attic and basement, and finally I told her not to worry about it -- when she dies, I'll just hire someone to haul it out. I mean, I guess I'll look at and want to keep some of it, but really not very much. I have no idea what most of it even is!

Ugh, I'm not making as much progress on my one big work thing as I would have liked, although I have done lots of little things I wasn't getting to -- the upside of procrastination! I guess I'll take one more run at it and try again tomorrow.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I am so sorry, Theo.
On the family drama front, I think I may have convinced my mom that finding a counselor or therapist is a good idea. It didn't take much of a push so I suspect she'd been noodling about it on her own.
Also, I did six hours of yard work today. Owwwwww..... Right now I am having some wine, some cheddar and some maple walnuts.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I am so sorry, Theo.

Oh, that sounds awful, Theo. My sympathies.
I'm making hot cross buns and doing QA work for my old boss. But really what I want is a beer...

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I have taken a couple of naps and otherwise been sitting on my butt watching TV and eating hot sauce. Matzo ball soup with buffalo sauce in a minute.
