To post something less depressing - I purchased a bag of Dunkin Donuts pumpkin ground coffee that will be consumed in just a few hours. I resisted the pumpkin creamer because I drink coffee black.
You can't open the book of my life and jump in the middle. Like woman, I'm a mystery.

When Dad was in the hospital for depression (sodium deficiency), I knew he was well and truly on the mend when he got fussy about how I was brushing his dentures. I've never been so thrilled to hear nitpicking complaints in my life!
My own stays in psychiatric care were in a pretty bleak facility, with cold, unsympathetic nurses the second time. But I'll give them props for the food always being great; if I'd had any appetite at the time I would have gained weight.

Gud, I'm so glad Emaryn seems to be doing better and getting some help.
And you as well.
Laura, I'm so sorry. That's incredibly upsetting and stressful. And you've had plenty of family stress as it is!

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.
Warm, loving thoughts to all.
Long day at work and I am so tired right now. The company is doing some restructuring so the levels of management are more efficient. I might have been tapped for a house manager type job, but my knee-jerk reaction to being sounded out about it was "sorry, I love my job exactly as it is". Who knows how long they will keep letting me get away with that. Anyway, tonight was a goodbye party for the supervisor at one house who decided to quit rather than be restructured. Sooooo many people, so much food, so much clean-up.

If you all want something uplifting, I have to recommend this music video from a high school in remote Australia, with a ton of aboriginal kids and hopeful inspiring music: [link]

Consuela, Matt, those were both perfect.

Gud, I have been thinking about TCBITW and you all week.
Laura, I am so sorry.
Here is another fun link. [link] My favorite is the doge dog who just looks so freaking happy to be stuck in a hedge.

...later: suggestions for places to look for nerdy long-sleeved t-shirts for a 10 year old? I am finding a lot of places with kids' sizes (i.e. Thinkgeek) cover infants and toddlers only.
