JZ, I think we all need to take our moments of joy and comfort where we can and not feel guilty about it.
Can't you ever get your mind out of the hellmouth?

Aww, good to have cat headbutts to help you keep it together.
I have four noisy teens emptying my attic of So Many Bins of stuff that I need to sort, inventory, and get ready to move to storage. I need the attic empty for the inspector to be able to check stuff out. Next on the list is all of them jumping in the pool then eating pizza.
So much to do!

I'm dealing with so much personal stress and grief as I cope with my dad descending into dementia and all the logistics I'm trying to manage from 3000 miles away by myself (and all the costs of flying back and forth across the country every 4-6 weeks) that I've found I've gotten a bit numb to everything else. I am still in the world and worry and grieve about what is happening in Ukraine, but I've been experiencing a lot of compartmentalization.
I've never been more grateful for my effective antidepressants.

{{{Pix}}} I'm sorry. That's such a difficult situation. I'm so sorry.

{{Pix}} It is so much. Compartmentalization is essential. Know that if there is anything I can do from my closer geographical proximity we are here for you anytime. And soon to be closer to your dad too!

Thanks so much. I'm doing okay, all things considered, and I'm so lucky to have Drew and my friends and family as emotional support. I don't want everyone to feel like they need to respond here. It just helps to have somewhere to share it.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I am super nostalgic/homesick for Mardi Gras this year.

I heard an NPR reporter talking about men trying to get from Poland to Ukraine to enlist in the army—“from all walks of life”—and the two occupations she mentioned to represent all walks of life were a makeup artist and a sound designer.

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

Meanwhile, my folks found a place in Florida for my mom, and have arranged a special flight(my mom is unable to walk with a walker, so they needed to keep that in mind) and transportation of their car. They are leaving March 1.

Me too, Dana
