I'm sorry Anne.
I don't really have a security blanket... unless you count Mr. Pointy.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Thank you. I managed to sleep last night, but my chest feels all panicky tight. I know Mom's up, but she's hermiting.
Something about this feels like the moment when Everything Changes.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I hope it's ultimately for the better, even though things seem like a world of suck right now.

Oh, Anne! I hope it all seems more cope-able this morning. I hope that doctors will be consulted and have good practical things they can do.

Mom headed out early this a.m. before I actually got up - I heard her moving around upstairs in the wee hours, but I didn't actually hear her leave, so I thought she was still here. She went back home to look after her dog. Continued ~ma will be welcome - I don't know yet if she's coming back here tonight.
When she's massively stressed, she goes into deep hermit mode for a few days. It's something she needs, but it's scary as hell for me - I made her promise to check in via text a few times a day.

Our wings are not tired.
Oh Anne. I hope that your parents seek medical intervention. So very scary. I've dealt with this type of mean before and it is horribly painful even when you know it is disease and not personal. Holding you in my heart.

I sense an Oprah Chai conspiracy. This Starbucks is ALSO out of it! Though at least they told me when I tried to order it. Wtf??

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Maybe Oprah hates you.
