You'd never make it. I'd rip your spine out before you got half a step. Those little legs wouldn't be much good without one of those.

I am so exasperated with my mother right now, I cannot. I know it's the memory anxiety, etc. But give me fucking flight dates you asked me to book , stop looking at flights you ASKED ME to book, stop booking lodging you asked ME to book. I have proposed, numerous times, the same plan. Agree or say no, not undecided, or I'm quitting this gig.

It'll all be fine in the end, and I was the patient one on the phone(screaming inside) while my dad hung up & went for a mad walk. We'll see if they're still mad tomorrow.

This is coping with aging parents. Mom's short term memory blips means she's more anxious as well as impulsive. And she forgets more when anxious, including the tasks she's offloaded TO BE LESS ANXIOUS. It's an ouroboros.

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

I don't mind getting the occasional invitation to screen pre-release movies, but this one does not look like something I would enjoy. [link]

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.

I've had a headache since Wednesday that has been unrelenting in the face of ibuprofen and narcotics. Doesn't help that my cough won't let up either. But seriously, how is it not gone.? It isn't a migraine.

When I cough a lot, the muscles all over my head get so sore, it's a monster headache. Could this be it for you?

This afternoon has been better other than trying to use my bum foot to stop a fall. But headache-wise, better. I think it had been a combo of the cough and barometric changes.

Is the hematoma on his hip? That sounds really painful.

Yep, the announcers said it was painful for him just to stand. Ultimately he didn't win a medal in the event, but it was fun watching him compete.

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

That sounds hard, sarameg. For all of you.

Can't say that teaser trailer is very enticing, aurelia. Like the cast, though.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Mr. S is being very clingy towards daddy lately. Which means he get fussy and cries when Gary's on a program item. I've had to take S out of the room several times this con. Sigh....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It is a GORGEOUS day outside, and all I've done so far is shovel and watch TV, and I am super happy about it.

At a friend's house last night, I laughed more than I have in months. I feel like I'm coming back to myself.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
