the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

[Redacted primal scream about family health, physical and mental from the adjacent boat to your boats.]

My primal scream joins yours in a glorious cacophony.

Tep, I could be spitballing but I suspect that maybe, just maybe, there's a correlation between NOT taking Anti-Psychotic medicine and HAVING hallucinations. Maybe.

Whaaaaaat.

That has to be a huge relief though.

It is a relief, but a provisional relief, to be revised after 2-3 weeks of the meds back in his system. But I'm choosing to be optimistic and believe that since the meds worked before, they'll work again.

Some folks have mentioned their intent to fly in for her memorial, it seems like Saturday (May 18th) would be the optimal date to accommodate travelers. Maybe people coming in on Thurs or Fri for an informal Buffista F2F kinda thing.

Tim's niece is getting married in May, in a huge 3-day Indian wedding extravaganza. I'm 95% sure it's happening Memorial Day weekend, so assuming that's correct, I could make it out for the memorial.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Blocking that week.

I don’t know how fast acting psychotics are compared to say antidepressants, but hopefully you see some impact soon and have a better sense if anything else is going on.

*Anti-psychotics, that is. Though I suppose I don’t really know how fast acting psychotics are either. Pretty quick I imagine, though quick at what I don’t know.

Whooo boy. I didn't think I'd ever see my large Catholic family outdone in a wedding, but when my cousin married an Indian man, I learned my lesson. So much food. Constant food. Dancing, then more food. If you like Indian food, you're in for a good time.

Indian wedding sounds like lots of fun!

I would come for that weekend for JZ.

Today is slow and I really don’t want to be doing work. I have a few things I should be doing but…the last couple days were busy with catching up and now I’m not AS busy and yuck.

Teppy I hope a couple weeks on meds will make a big difference!! Good luck.

My parents were terrible about sorting through their things but pretty good about agreeing to move when they needed (their old place was all one level, so not a problem, but none of us lived near them anymore).

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I am in for the memorial and informal F2F, May 18 looks clear on my calendar.

This is ridiculous, but I think I have been thinking about how to assemble a sort of kerfuffley basket of treats (muffaletta-esque sandwich(es), gimlet ingredients, bagels, maybe something else if it occurs to me (guacamole, I suppose, is kind of called for) so I'm gonna call dibs on bringing that to the informal F2F

I hope the antipsychotics do there job, Tep! Nice to have a simple answer, for sure, assuming they do.

Bonus points if you can find Mallomars in May.

Thanks, Hec. Once there's a date I plan to be there, unless geo political events and actions of 2-5 armies will prevent me from doing this.

Continued ~ma to Pix and family. I am holding you all in my heart.

Oh, also to say that Nilly is doing OK: the new academic year finally started (it was delayed for almost two months), so she's swamped.

Always Anti-fascist!

I wish I could do that, but I don't think so.
