Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
juliana, many hugs to you and M and A, and may Bast welcome Stella with all the honor an elder cat deserves.
I just pinged Emmett and Kalena to let them know that since they've gone and moved in almost a week early they'll need to be the ones to deal with the Comcast tech on Wednesday. I also need to remind them that we haven't figured out why the stove doesn't light and we have no idea whether the oven works and the apartment has some spoons and dullish knives but is totally forkless, all of which had been on my fix-it-before-they-move-in list but oops!

So sorry Juliana!
JZ if they move in early they can deal with some rough edges! But yay for it all working out.
I am SO COLD right now. I had to turn off the heat to my house, while I was out of town, because they were turning off the water for construction down the street and said I needed to turn everything off. Got home and turned it back on and it’s been a couple hours and only up to 62. Brrr!

JZ, that’s totally fair.
I spent the afternoon with Papa, Mom, and Stepdad eating too much Italian food and picking Papa’s brain about all him recipes, which are, for the most part, not written down.

Ha! Hec that’s so funny. Good luck moving the new furniture.
I did wind up helping Emmett unload the heavy stuff, then buying him a burrito.
He's going to drive the U-Haul back to Sonoma, and then drive his car back down to SF.
And then he's no longer a resident of Sonoma. He and Kalena will be San Franciscans.
And I will put him to work later in the week picking up our furniture.
I did 19,614 steps today running around dealing with shit. That's 8.2 miles.

Nice step count!
Congrats to Emmett and Kalena. That's freaking exciting. When are you guys planning to move in?
Tuesday is vortual meeting day as usual around here. Guess I should get to it.

Sorry about the confusion - Emmett's plans sound a lot like the little riddle about the man with a fox, a goose, a bag of grain, a boat that will only carry one of those at a time.
the apartment has some spoons and dullish knives
Well, at least they have the spoons to deal wit h things!

Thrive to spite them
I'm glad they are in the apartment early, so they can help with things like Comcast and help woth moving furniture and what not.
I haven't been seeing my therapist since the concussion. It was a lot to try and deal with but I'm feeling better and want to talk with him about things regarding my anxiety about returning to work..whenever that is . And also I've been trying to connect with my brother and build a relationship . Bro brought up stuff about our parents and up bringing that he's been discussing with his therapist and it's got me thinking and I want to dig into some of that with mine.
When I was 17 or so (during my Jr year of high school) I moved in with my dad at thr recommendation of my then therapist. She felt mom and I were too codependent or something. I knew Mom was depressed at the time but I didn't realize how depressed and I also didn't realize how checked out she was in terms of parenting .
But basically from then on my brother kind of raised himself. Mom just checked out and I don't think she has ever realized the impact of that.
My dad was always emotional distant. Anyway as my brother put it they were great at being there for big things but bad at the everyday.
I want to say the Buffista sprog are really lucky because yall do a really good job of parenting. I know no one is perfect but seeing all the support and love and just day to day stuff. It's good to see.
And I see how my brother is with E and hear about how my cousins (on my dad's side) are with their kids and there is a lot of support and work to break away from intergenerational trauma and stuff.

Today is my only full day to get stuff done in the house, and I'm sitting here overwhelmed and unable to figure out where to start. So far all I have accomplished is making a list of what I need to buy to keep this from being the worst Easter ever for ltc, because we'll be spending it home just the three of us for the 3rd year in a row. She was so excited to go to my mother's this year, the poor thing.
So, seriously, someone make me go do something.
