Hi Todd!
Vent ahead, no hairpats or advice needed.
Mac turned 21 on Sat. He did not respond to a text from me Fri afternoon or Sat morning, but texted me Sat late afternoon to tell me he was in a car wreck Fri night (says not his fault).
He says he’s fine. I told him to call insurance. He hasn’t. Car and insurance are in my name. I called insurance today to verify that he can call in the claim since he is in the policy.
I’ve reached a new line in the sand with him. Almost two and a half years of him in an apartment and very little growth in responsibility, if any. Failed out of school, not earning enough to pay rent, very little communication, not vaccinated.
I’ve leveled up in emotional exhaustion, disappointment, and frustration, but do not think we have hit the bottom yet.
The word of the day for the foreseeable future is resolve.
I'm sorry to hear that, msbelle. I hope he really is fine and will just give a deep sigh for the rest.
it’s hard because my brain keeps screaming at me that it’s NOT GOOD ENOUGH and that I need to ART HARDER.
Sondheim knew his bidness on that one, huh? I'm not sure if you should listen to Sunday in the Park With George or ABSOLUTELY NOT listen to Sunday in the Park with George.
Mac, stop tormenting your poor mother.
Ugh, Mac! Sorry msbelle that sounds rough.

Anything you do, let it come from you // Then it will be new
Well, that all sucks, msbelle.
Yay, Todd!
DP's surgery went well, and surgeon was actually optimistic that the growth was perhaps not invasive... which would mean no medical oncology follow-up. Pathology won't come back until next week, but I was very pleasantly surprised that he even said anything like that at all -- they're usually pretty conservative. So, I continue to send (and ask for) good vibes for best possible outcomes.
~ma for DP.
Ugh, msbelle. Im sorry.
They’ve increased Papa’s morphine again. I’m hoping to see him tomorrow. Any~ma you have for Mom and Stepdad who are doing almost all of this alone right now, please. It’s so much.
Toddson, tons of recovery~ma for you. Do you need anything?
Todd, so glad you're back. Hope you continue to improve.
msbelle, sorry Mac is being such a trial. Continued strength & wisdom to bolster your resolve~ma.
Hope DP continues on a positive path, Jen.
Scola, go you! I didn't know you had done a 'zine either, very cool! Hope your brain weasels STFU.
sj, continued ~ma to you and your fam in this trying time.
ION, my colonoscopy is this Friday. I'm in "Phase 1" of the colonoscopy prep diet - 1 week out, low fiber, no popcorn, nuts, or seeds. I have never craved popcorn or peanuts so much in my life.
