When my mom was so sick, I was 800 miles away. My sister did almost all the caretaking, and I felt horrible about it. All I could do was talk to her, and research stuff. We talked every day, sometimes twice. I drove down to spend a long weekend whenever I could. It never felt like I was doing enough, even though it wasn't possible for me to do more without quitting my job. Which would've been stupid and we both knew it. I still feel guilty though. Sometimes the world just gets in the way.
Well, quite a lot of fuss. If I didn't know better, I'd think we were dangerous.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My plan for the day included going to the office for a while and also getting to my band thing for sometime between two and three. Since I'm still home, I'm not sure how that's all going to work out. If I can motivate right now, at least I could do an hour+ at the office, which is better than nothing, I guess?
But I do not want to motivate right now! Or go to the office! Pfui.

Jesse, so far I haven't manage to motivate my ass out of bed ( so comfy!) so I can't help. But good luck!

But it's so much earlier where you are!
I think I can do it. At least I can get to the office and see how things go.

Update: Dad is stable right now.
And I honestly don't know how to feel about this.

You don't have to know, Strix.
In much lighter news, here is a lesson I have learned today: Don't fret before you have the whole story. I saw an email Friday from someone looking for updates on work I haven't done for him, but I didn't read the whole thing. Guess what? Two of the three are in motion, AND he's out next week, so I can definitely get the third done by then! Phew.

Timelies all!
Just got back from lunch and the supermarket. Put Mr.S in his crib in a vain attempt to get him to nap. Doesn't seem to be working, but at least he's not underfoot for the moment.(For some reason I was having a "I can't even" morning where he was constantly annoying me.)

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
my lesson of the day, eating helps. I forgot to eat when I got up. So eating something 4 hours later made me feel 1000X better.
