Our wings are not tired.

Ugh, sorry Theodosia.

Things with my son are shakier than ever. He is pretty off the rails. To further complicate issues, last night, while he was at work his apartment water heater blew up. 18 years old and rusted out. So his roommate called us and we rushed over and got the water turned off and helped push the water outside. Fortunately, there was a door to the outside nearby. His roomie picked him up at midnight and told him what was up. Then later the roommate messaged me to let me know he was having a huge blowout fight with his girlfriend. Of course I didn't see this until morning. It looks like they broke up. I stopped by but didn't wake son up, just coordinated the management company going there with the roommate. Drama.

My doctor, who had me take a zillion tests for cardiac and pulmonary issues, tells me my chest pain is stress, all tests look great. He was actually super sweet as he has a daughter with issues similar to my son and said there just isn't anything harder than helplessly watching them self-destruct. He did give me scripts for my blood pressure, which sucks, and anxiety, and something for the chest tightness. He promises to get me off them asap, and I have to go back again next week. He didn't even abuse me about my weight gain, although he reminded me that the bad cholesterol and BP issues would go away with the weight.

I somehow missed the video from Gris. I've got to go find and watch it.

Yes you do! It is uplifting and exhausting at the same time.

'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"

Yikes. A good reminder that all existing stresses pretty much get stressier under these conditions.

Thrive to spite them

Laura I hope the meds help you quickly..

Today is better at work. Not as many people . I forgot lunch so had to go through drive thru. Which sucks.

I had got a Costco order via instacart ready on Wed and then didn't order it until today. Accidentally set it to deliver in the morning but was ok I guess. The instacart shopper messaged me thery were out of .. everything. I ended up with 3 packs of beef loin, instead of top round, pot roast , and beef stew. I'm trying to make less meat centric meals , but that hasn't been a popular thing in the house

My great niece is having a baby shower via Facebook Live. Cool to do it that way. No games! Can multitask!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

God, at first I thought you said she was having a baby via FB Live.

Ha! I would have done that, but I can't even get my son to watch his birth video. I threaten him with it from time to time.

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

Timelies all!

Mr. S has a clock that has different colors showing at different times, with a nighttime routine of music and a wakeup song. He frequently messes with it, and somehow had it set 12 hours ahead, so the nighttime routine came on around 8 am. ADHD strikes again...
