I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Flu shots tomorrow, woohoo.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
Dana, Jim and I are getting our flu and bivalent boosters tomorrow as well. Woo and indeed hoo.

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.

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.

I've been having really really strange dreams lately, usually on the disturbing side once I wake up, in the dream they don't feel that weird but when I wake up I realize how weird and off they are. which probably isn't helping.
Last night I had a weird dream and part of it I was watching some baking show on Food Network that was hosted by -- some mix of Clinton Kelly and someone else, I don't remember but I knew in the dream and he had a female cohost that was his girlfriend or wife or something ...whoever the guy was he looked like Clinton Kelly kinda but he wasn't him. Anyway the whole baking competition was boring and stupid and someone made a dessert with peaches and Clinton Kelly look a like host made a joke about "teach us about peaches" but kind of in a sing song way so it really referenced Fuck the Pain Away by Peaches and then I was looking at Twitter and Facebook blowing up as people were like - did he really?? -and people sharing the clip to see if it was real everyone just imagined it. And I had posted it on my FB and in the dream I could read several comments of people responding and tagging different people.
It was very weird, but better than some of the ones I've been having.
Also today FSU is playing at 3:30 on ABC which we don't get over the air so M and I were going to go to Mom's to watch it and spend the night since i have the days off. But now M's mom ordered a tv from Wal mart (instead of going to the store to buy it) and it's going to be delivered today and she wants "needs" M here to get it set up. Which she does need help getting it in place and set up and figured out, but she has other people she could ask for help. We don't know when it's going to get delivered so I may be going up to Mom's by myself. Which sometimes I like but Mom was saying she missed seeing M and she missed his hugs (he is a great hugger) and M wanted to go to the cool toy store up there so it just sucks. Since he doesn't have a car and his mom's truck is only for driving really locally if I go up then he won't be able to come up after.
So that kind of sucks.
