There's more than one way to skin a cat. And I happen to know that's factually true.

We’re going to a garlic festival Sunday but we don’t have any other plans.

In the end it's only ever been one step, and then the next.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
My brother is calling in the IOU I gave him (he asked for) a few years ago for his birthday and we are going to see Cabaret at a local theatre. I've seen the movie before, but never the stage version. I'm looking forward to it, except for the prospect of trying to find parking in Old Town, not pretty.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
We had an appointment with a psychologist last night.(All of us) Mr. S had another meltdown and ran off, which culminated with him pulling the fire alarm. Every day a new disaster.
It's supposed to rain all weekend, which is going to be delightful for us. Sigh...

Oh, Sheryl, I'm so sorry. This is so much.

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 not definitely crediting the chopped cheese... but it was a particularly good one with a just-right balance of seared and moist meat, really good tomatoes, and perfectly distributed cheese.
I am eating cheese enchiladas (no green onions because TJ's hath forsaken me) because I finally shopped today so cheese once again is in the house. They now will be eaten in honor of your dad's recovery. It's melty cheese, same vibe.
(Saw the First We Feast on chopped cheese and really want to try one. Must return to NY.)
If moving is a real option, amyp, I'd consider it. Or at least time for an honest Pro / Con list.
I'm looking forward to it, except for the prospect of trying to find parking in Old Town, not pretty.That should be so much fun. I expect that a parking place will open like magic. And once you park the car, it's all mariachi music and maybe even a margarita. Then life is a Cabaret for a while. (I hate parking there but it's a small part of the evening so I feel the need to cheer you on)

He had the meltdown with the psychologist? They definitely know his reactions and maybe triggers then. Man, so hard. For him as well. I can't believe that Mr. S is living his best life either and that's just as sad for all of you. Wish I could pause the rest of the world and give you and Gary a break together though. I even just opened a bottle of wine.

Thrive to spite them
Sheryl I know it's frustrating and disheartening that Mr S had a meltdown again BUT you were at a psychologist's office so that happened there and hopefully they were able to see what was going on.
New places and experiences and strangers can be really hard for anyone and it seems that Mr S doesn't know how to handle his emotions and so he has these meltdowns. I hope that this will be a step in the right direction and that the psychologist will be able to start helping all of you as a family and Mr S especially learn different ways to handle emotions and different coping mechanisms.
