How awful for everyone, Cash!

Our wings are not tired.
Drama all round. Wacko SIL, who I would feel bad about calling wacko, but really she always has been, lost it at work and was let go. Lost her extremely well paying PA job when they are so severely short on health care workers. So apparently it was quite the breakdown. Her husband says she has been getting worse and worse with delusions and general crazy. She always has been into the crazy, like Michele Obama being a man and that kind of thing. Her mother has severe dementia, so he is wondering if maybe she has some kind of early onset or something. Obviously trying to get her taken care of, but easier said than done.
And my namesake hurricane is being very bad and I am worried sick for all those in its path. Worried about all the stubborn people who won't leave. Worried for all those who try and leave but find there is no shelter. Mostly worried because I know there is a severe shortage of competence at the national level.
The world has gone mad. It is all just too much.
ION, since my knees are still sore my son actually picked up a mess on the floor the dog made. I must have looked really pathetic. But woo! Didn't have to clean it up myself!
And we caught a mouse in the no-kill trap and he was set free to hassle someone else. I suggested he be released next to some house with a Trump sign, but likely they just took him into the woods.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, Cashmere. I'm so sorry. How terrible!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Cashmere, that's so horrible. I'm so sorry.
Laura, best wishes for your family. It sounds like your SIL really needs help, I hope she gets it.
I'm so worried about the people in the way of the hurricane.
Also for some reason it reminds me of my ex Laura, whom I barely ever think about. She was a different kind of disaster.

OH man, Cash and Laura, those are both awful situations! Best of luck to both your families!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Damn, you guys. Much love all around.

Now tagless for your comfort.
There is really no other place I can vent about this. This community is a small island of sanity, for which I am thankful.

Cashmere, Laura, and Steph, I'm sorry family issues are so acute right now.
