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.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

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.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Is everyone in New York okay? Do we have people in Brooklyn?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Vibing hard for any NYCistas and families. This fucking country.

The Brooklyn contingency of my family is safe though the kid’s schools are in lockdown.
