My therapist is a goddamn QUEEN.
Absolutely! Stepping up when you needed it.
I'm sorry about your brother. I know he's your closest ally in all the family biz too.
Oh, smacked in the noggin with a 2x4 wrapped in velvet. Yeah, that's what it felt like.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
Relapse is a part of recovery. Which is not to say that everyone who gets sober will relapse; plenty people get sober and stay sober. But plenty more do relapse. So it's not like "yay, relapse!" but just "okay, this happened; what do you need to move forward?"
It does suck, though.

Oh, no, Tep, I'm sorry. I'm glad your therapist is supporting you! You are being way more spiritually advanced than I with the relapses happen acceptance, it definitely sucks.
Good call on letting the line drive joy stand without dropping the pancreatic cancer news as soon as possible. I'm relieved you will be able to share that with Matilda, though.

That's a lot of family crap, Steph.

Steph, I am sorry. Lots of ~ma to you and your family.
David, I'm thinking of you and Matilda.

And in a separate post: she does not have the time to check the board these days, but I wanted to let you all know that Nilly's eldest will have his Bar Mitzvah soon. He'll be reading Book of Esther this Sunday/Monday.
It's an extra joy to bring good news to this board, after announcing mostly bad news in the past six months.

Bar Mitzvah is exciting, but wait until he turns 17!!

Oh, wow, passage of time. Book of Esther seems like a pretty sweet portion for a Bar Mitzvah!

I made too much muffin mix (don't ask), and I think I'm going to try it out in my new bundt cake pan.

Our wings are not tired.
It is good to read that there is some normalcy in Nilly's life.
Also, of course I want to know about the excess muffin mix.
