this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

This getting a migraine anytime it rains or snows is getting old, especially when ltc is on vacation.

Our weather is changing really dramatically right now, and I keep having stabs of migraine pain, but then they go away. I don't want to take meds if I don't need them, but I also don't want to ignore warning signs before it's too late. Stupid weather! Stupid head!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

We had actual thundersleet a while ago -- right overhead, too.

I haven't heard back from the plumber who is supposed to give me an estimate.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I spent a large part of the day whimpering in a dark room. I'm so glad TCG was sent home early because I don't know how I was going to parent until 5.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I thought I was the flaky one!

Also, you're only dealing with one or two other things right now!

So today I randomly ran across/into a story written by a long lost college friend (didn't even realize it was her at first) about how a village smuggled her toddler mom & elder siblings & cousins out of Nazi-Vichy France through various subterfuges & how she was later reunited with them& they came together to the States in '47. Her grandmother was arrested by the Gestapo right after she handed toddler-mom off to Resistance Underground. She was murdered at Auschwitz, as was her husband later.

20+ years ago, all N knew was her mother's life started at 7 in 1947 in Georgia after escaping France, dark hints from an aunt 16 yrs senior and weird memories no one understood. They've since met the people & decedents from that village & have a relationship & have learned the extraordinary measures those people took.

It's striking to me, now, as it was then, to feel that bit of history so close. Her MOM, just a few years older than mine.
