The treehouse is pretty sweet. I am wondering if the cattle come with the castle and remembering that one Downton Abbey scene with the pigs...

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I watched the DNC roll call this weekend and I marvel that they made the roll call something I actually wanted to watch.
Plaid carpeting? My eyes hurt.
Yes, there were several rooms where the carpet had to go.
Ugh, you guys. My brother (the therapist, thank god) has been visiting for the past week, and he thinks our dad is showing signs of psychosis. As in, Dad is seeing hallucinations and thinks they're real. So we might be taking him to a psych unit later today. (Edit: but my brother is DEFINITELY going to remove all of Dad's guns from his apartment even if we don't take him to the hospital.) I am 100% unable to cope with this, for some really ugly reasons (and I don't mean to be vague, sorry, but it's ugly shit I can't talk about). I mean really really REALLY unable to cope with this.
But first Tim and I have to go get medical exams for life insurance, which is a whole other thing I really am stressed about. Not because of the medical exam itself -- I pretty much know my level of health -- but because thinking about life insurance makes me think about the inevitability of us dying, and we're in a pandemic, and...yeah.
I'm doing really really badly today. I think I need to text my therapist.
Oh Teppy! That is a lot. I'm glad your brother is on top of things with your dad. Let's hope it is a medication issue. So often they can cause issues, like I need to tell you!
Aw, hon. Take care of yourself. Put your own oxygen mask on first!!
Put your own oxygen mask on first!!
For real! I had to give that advice to a friend here who is superintendent of schools. The stress of Covid on top of all the usual life stresses is just too much.
{{Steph and family}} Those are totally distanced hugs.
{{{{{Steph}}}}} I'm sorry. Lots of good thoughts headed your way.
{{{Tep}}} That's a rough frickin day. I hope your therapist can help you get through.
