Primary debates with a lot of candidates are exhausting to watch.
Jayne: Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please? Mal: I don't believe there is a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.

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

Yes. We'll go see him in respite every day. In fact, it's close to the Y with the really awesome pool.
I think the thing that we are really working with, though, is that she wants him to be in respite so she can spend more time with us. So I'm trying to be empathetic with what she feeling, but then she said, "You could go to DC for the day."
Really, Mom? Really? We are there for 4 days. I don't want to go to DC. I don't want to go to Michigan to see my brother who I am still not talking to because he voted for Gary Johnson. I just want to hang out with my family.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I'm sorry things are so hard, Kat.

:/ I guess you just have to keep saying that and pretend she actually hears it. Bleh.
Taking tomorrow off. Looks like I'll be rearranging the litterbox room furniture ( because I want to) and maybe doing my car emissions test. Maybe on the latter.

Ugh Kat, that's so hard. As someone who was primary caregiver for a few years, I kinda get your mother's perspective. Sounds like the respite care is for her more than anyone else, but maybe that's what she needs. That could help explain why she's not really hearing you and your needs. I am glad that you can go see him every day.

And Jilli, huge ugh on your behalf too. I had a person like that in my life, only in my case it was my sister so she was sort of stuck with me up until the end, but I saw her pull that move on so many people who loved her. I wish I had advice for you.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
::waves::
Made it to all my stuff today. So tired. And hungry. But the food is all in the kitchen yards away from the bed I do not wish to leave, so that is a dilemma. Not to mention all the tasks I didn't get done.
So hard, Kat. No advice, I just hear you at this point.

Compassionately intolerant
Still so fucking humid.
It's like slogging through an aquarium around here. Definitely not October weather.

We've been lucky on the humidity front for the most part, but the temperatures have been the high 80s.
"Climate Change is a hoax!" my ass!

Harvest is late in southern MN, which is a bad thing.
