I'm also aware it's probably pretty unhealthy, but I'm drinking a beer right now, because I literally cannot think of any other way to cope with this shit.
Eh, its not nine beers.
Hang in there. Vacay comes.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I'm aware this is going to sound terrible, but: we're leaving for vacation on Sunday, and I'm not changing my plans to stay home. There is literally nothing I can do to help him. He's in a hospital, which is where he needs to be.
He's where he needs to be and you need to get a few more spoons together. The beach is a good place to gather spoons.

All those years we gathered shells and little did we know...
They were spoons.

Our wings are not tired
Steph, do you what you need to do and take that vacation.
sj, just keeping you and your family in my thoughts.
Today just just bugger off. It's almost 4pm and I'm just now eating and getting started on the list of things that need to be done today. I've spent all of my time up to this point on the phone with Bacardi trying to troubleshoot a system in their visitor center in Puerto Rico. The system is ancient. I didn't design or implement it. It's failing in multiple new ways. They know it needs to be replaced, and they just keep delaying on doing it. It's operating mainly on hope at this point and one of these calls it's just going to not work. They have a quote from me for fixes, but they keep trying to delay until they remodel the entire experience, but that might still be years away. This system does not have years left in it. It might not have days left in it, I just don't know.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That sounds very frustrating, Noise. How disappointing that interacting with Bacardi should not be relaxing and fun!

You feel better when you touch them or look at them, right? Spoons. Even just think about them or think about when you got them. Spoons.

I hope they figure this out soon. Before it just stops preferably.
Steph, how is your brother doing? I hope he is doing well and that this isn't adding too much for him.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Hang in there, everyone.
I have been to that Barcardi place! It could have used an overhaul then, and that was years ago.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

He's doing pretty well, fortunately.
