Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Tiniest of victories this morning -- I have a dress I'm not crazy about that seemed good for the weather today, and I suddenly thought to roll up the sleeves and that fixed it! Now it all makes sense. Maybe I really never wear long sleeves??

Our wings are not tired.

Long sleeves bug me too. This is inconvenient when I am in Otter Lake. I don't think I own any long sleeves in Florida, other than lightweight jackets. Every single long sleeve shirt I have here was a handmedown from my sister.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I always roll up long sleeves unless I'm out in sub-zero weather. I don't like much else on my wrists either (watches, bracelets, etc.). The 3/4 length sleeve trend was nice while it lasted.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I have driven Mac to a social services agency this morning for him to inquire about help getting work and housing.

So this is my life now. Crying in parking lot while my kid goes and explains being homeless at 18. I'm a monster.

Because books.

You're not, msbelle. You're doing what every parent is supposed to do -- teaching your child how to be self-reliant and independent in the world. He's made it kind of clear he won't learn that unless really pushed. This is a good thing, truly.

You are showing remarkable strength, mabelle. I wish I had been more firm with my son, and now I have a 27 yo teenager. Mac had plenty of choices. I'm sorry he has made it so hard on himself. Love and hugs.

Hugs to you and Mac too, msbelle.

Punishingly Intricate

I'm sorry it's so rough, msbelle. Love to you and Mac, too.
