If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Yeah, nope. Right there with you on Aunt's miserable assumptions.

(As an aside, I also am eyebrow raising the notion that two pairs of pants is an issue in itself. Better to have more, sure, but if they were dirty or falling apart that would have become apparent precisely because the boys are very involved. So outside of frequent laundry I'm not sure what she's on about anyway. )

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

The only big rift in my mom's family came over an argument between her and her older brother's wife when my grandmother was in the hospital after having strokes, about how to best care for her. Pro tip: don't suggest it would be less trouble to ship an elderly relative off to a nursing home when you're not the one she lives with and said relative once provided care to you during your lengthy psychiatric difficulties.

Mom has a slow burn temper that goes off like Krakatoa on the rare occasions that she loses control of it; my aunt was lucky she didn't exit that hospital room via the third floor window.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

My SiL wrote a post for the CaringBridge site (that the whole extended family can and does access) saying that she was going to clarify the "clothing situation" after "inquiries were made about missing clothing." And then she laid it all out, sweet as pie. (I honestly think she was being genuine, where as I would have been snarky as hell. And that is the reason why I opted to not be given admin privileges on that CaringBridge page.)

Jack is the inverse of that situation. Every one of his siblings keeps saying "We have to get you back home! Why are you still there???" like it's the gulag or something. Jesus, this place has a golf course.

The PT staff at this facility has determined that Jack would need a MINIMUM of 14 hours a day of supervision in order for him to go back home. If his siblings aren't going to provide it, then they can back the fuck up.

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

Oy. I'm sure they think they are helping.

My eyelids are still all swollen so I'm working from home today and I really don't want to work. Or do my taxes. Or anything else. Blergh.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Seriously! If you only like one thing, why not just buy a new pair when one wears out? Makes sense to me. (Also I currently want to throw away all of my clothes and start fresh, so.)

That is correct. I feel like they can just fuck off in general anyway.

ION, Tim's 50-something cousin ran the Boston Marathon today and finished in 3:38. I'm in awe.

Maybe he can run the new pants over.
