But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

Laura: Tracked down my aunt and she says Shannon's Unshelled, and that the Boothbay Lobster Wharf is good, too. (Great view there, also.) There's always Red's Eats when you drive through Wiscasset. Say hello to my childhood for me! I used to jump off the footbridge at high tide. Safe travels.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

This evening I successfully ran the technical side of my first live streaming event for my employer. A conversation with Luis Valdez. That dude has got some stories!

Herding cats for fun

Today went like an episode of Hoarders. My sister did everything in her power to interfere with the haul Junk Out of The Yard project requested by Park Management. She was adamant that her second car not be moved out of the way. (We couldn't understand why). I have keys so I drove it across the lane, which the workers appreciated. Then she sat on the steps in her nightgown and bald chemo head ordering the guys to take this, that and the other thing back into the yard, look for her garden tools and bicycle parts. She screamed THAT STAYS! at Sue for saying a particular piece of rubble could go on the truck. I told her not to talk to Sue like that. Then she yelled at me about how I wouldn't even change my own sister's sheets. She hung around trying to keep her stuff but she got tired, started crying and told the guys to take it all and went back to bed. They were super nice and put in extra effort to pack the truck very full to avoid a second trip. So that part was not so bad.

It cost Sue $740.00. My sister still has a rented storage unit, a two story garden shed, the master bedroom, the biggest room, the living room, the kitchen and her vehicles crammed full of stuff. You'd think that would be enough to make her happy, but no. She has to hate me because she's too dependent on her roommate to really get her grudge on at home.

I am very tired of bullshit, drama and yelling, and DH is tired of hearing about it.

'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"

Exactly like an episode of Hoarders, Katerina -- hugs. Made worse, I'm sure, by the actual physical sickness and mental distress of chemo/cancer, so she's going to fall back on her flawed defense mechanisms, i.e. blaming you for all this, somehow. Captain Logic is not steering the tugboat...
