Teppy, you need a break and your brothers should help you find someone to help your dad. It should not be on you just because you're nearby.

And I hope to god your brother gets the guns out. That's just... awful and terrifying.

JZ and family, I'm so sorry to hear about the fire but I hope everything works out ok.

Steph, lots of health~ma to your father and may you be able to step away from it. Let your brother(s) take care of him.

And oh, poor ltc! I'm glad she's doing better now.

Tep, others have said basically the same thing, but you need to take care of yourself. Is there something you can do for yourself now, to give yourself a little mental cushion while you look for a patient advocate?

Much darker at 6 am this Tuesday compared to last Tuesday. Not too pleased about that.

Jesus christ on a pony, this morning. First I woke up three separate times from a nightmare where I got laid off and panicked because my benefits didn't start until the first of the month, so we weren't eligible for COBRA.

And now, the lawn guys are outside doing something for the complex, the result of which has been AN HOUR of weed whacker tree trimmer whatever outside.

None of that is right and proper.

Both offices open again today. How today is different from yesterday I don't know.We have not been told to communicate to the customers that the warehouse is resuming shipping, which is kind of good because I'm still trying to finish following Target's instructions for the closure...we sure get in our own way a lot...

Owwww. I have a migraine. But also the puppy. And can't call out of work, because my coworker is out and I'm covering for her too. And cleaning people coming in a few minutes. Owww. I am not a happy camper. (Especially because I already took my migraine meds a couple hours ago when I first woke up)

Also also....I let the puppy out of the crate around 1am, two or three times because he kept barking. Finally he hushed after I put him back in the crate the third time. I was very relieved. I woke up at 5am with a migraine and tried to not wake him when I went into the bathroom....and turned around and THERE HE WAS. Apparently that last time when he quieted down it was because I hadn't closed the crate well enough and he slipped out!! So now I'm terrified of what he may have been doing for those four hours. Eating things he shouldn't? Ruining stuff? Secret poops??

{{All y'all}}

To add to the misery this morning, I fell yesterday. Stupid not paying attention stuff. I had put up a tiny barricade to keep the robo vacuum from going into the kitchen and I tripped over it myself and crashed down on both knees. Didn't realize until I went to bed last night that I wrenched an arm too. See also, biggest baby ever so I sit here with my arm braced and avoiding anything touching the knees. My sister offered to take me to urgent care, but seriously, just bruised.

We watched the RNC last night. My sister fell asleep! Wow, it was like they were seriously making a play for the minority and immigrant communities. Well, in between trying to scare people about the riots to come when the radical liberals take over. I'll force myself to watch again tonight because I can't help myself.

Oh, no meara! Head~ma and hope that the puppy didn't actually get up to anything just quietly enjoyed freedom.

Ouch, Laura. Hope you feel better soon.

This year ... the Cuyahoga is on fire (last time was 1969).
