Oh, I wish those council guys would let me have an hour alone in the room with her, if I was larger and had grenades.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

One good thing is that my improv class's next session starts May 30, and I am SO looking forward to that.

That sucks a lot, Steph. I hope it gets easier somehow as time passes.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

PUPPY! So frickin cute! I got weirdly confused by that series of posts, though, and thought the link would have something to do with wedding dresses.

YOU SHOULD NOT BE AT WORK MSBELLE THAT IS TERRIBLE!!!!

Oh, I'm sorry Tep, that is so hard. Strength to all of you to keep helping him.

We took a short trip to Arkansas this last weekend. It worked out pretty well even though the weather forecast made it look grim. We also managed to find a good route home that avoided roads closed due to flooding.

Also this weekend I got the first, I guess proof of concept, 15 minute recording for the audiobook edition of Cog.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ugh, that's so hard, Steph. And I hate to say this, but it may just get worse until he's beyond knowing what's going on at all. Is he in the apartment kind of assisted living? I.e., would he just be alone if you all weren't constantly visiting? He may be better off in a situation with more staff interaction, so they can be the ones to tell him what's up a thousand times a day. (One of my nursing home friends spends an hour or more a day explaining her relationship to her mother, that her parents are dead, etc., and it's been like that for years.)

In better news, PUPPY.

In other better news, physical plant just showed up at the office next to mine and said they were there for a "cold call." I didn't know that was a thing! Get ready for me to complain about every single room I go into, because they are all freezing most of the time. (Although apparently some coworkers know how to adjust the thermostats that seem to randomly located.)

I'm pretty sure the thermostats at my office don't actually do anything.

Everyone in my office just wears their jackets till midafternoon, when the sun coming in the wall of windows has warmed up everything.

I would have said that too, except we could smell the heat coming on in a conference room the one time my coworker found that the thermostat was set to 57 degrees in there!
