Kat, that's hard. I don't have advice or really anything, just the offer that I'm here if you need anything.
Angel: Is that what you think you are--a hero? Spike: Saved the world didn't I? Angel: Once. Talk to me after you've done it a couple more times.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh Kat, that is so hard.
Buddy has emerged! So that's good.

That's so frustrating & fraught, Kat. I hope you can find a channel on which you're not getting caught in a game of emotional telephone.
I need to scrub the litterbox. It's an outside-with-the-hose job. It's raining.

Buddy!
Kat, I'm so sorry about your dad. You can spend time with him in the respite care?
My parents' 60th anniversary was yesterday and today is Thanksgiving, so it's a weekend of eating all the things.

I've coffeed, showered, and eaten. I guess this means I can't put off the litterbox any longer.

Happy Thanksgiving, Sue! And also all the rest of Canada!
I finished the laundry, properly set up the new tv stand, and got most of the packing stuff into the trash and recycling as appropriate. Next on the list is cleaning the bathroom (ugh) and going to buy Nature's Miracle (ugh), but it's also raining here, so that's not so appealing either.

I think the trick at this point is to try and at least build social capital out of it, rather than end up losing social capital. Like if I don't get the appointment this time, maybe I can rotate in later.
That sounds like a good strategy. If possible try the expect the best prepare for the worst philosophy too.
I'm sorry about the situation with StuntHusband, Jilli. Having eyes wide open about friends is easier said than done.
Yay new kitty! When possible pictures please, Jesse.
I'm sorry about the parental concerns, Kat. It is so hard.
We went for a drive to Canada yesterday, basically because we could. I have to come up with better reasons to tell them I am crossing the border than just for a nice drive. It was super pretty and now I want Buffista Island to be on the St. Lawrence.

Litterbox done. But Uhg, it's only 75, but so fucking humid, I think my hair got wetter and not just from sweat. Debating what to do next.

Woo! Monster ac on a moving dolly rolls easily into the back of the closet! Will have to figure out if I can get the other in there as well, might have to put up a shelf.
Still so fucking humid.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
