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.
Look, you got a little stabbed the other day. That's bound to make anyone a mite ornery.

Oh, Steph, so sorry to hear about your brother and I’d be mad at him for lying too and for not being the sibling you need to deal with the shit happening with your dad right now.

I SAID not to ask.
The recipe didn't have a yield and I just follow instructions without any actual thought behind it, so it was only as I was spooning mix into the muffin tin that I went, "....wait, that's a lot."

Yum, muffins!
All the congratulations to Nilly’s son! I hope it goes amazing.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
How is he old enough for that? Unpossible! (Though Squeak turns nineteen in three weeks. So.)
I've been stress shopping lately and justifying it as dressing appropriately for JZ for her memorial. It's somehow both sad and enjoyable, and it sure as hell beats dealing with the clusterfuck that is my family. (Which is a huge, huge, huge clusterfuck, and I might need to pay my parents' property taxes for them, and man, it would be great if they could be in assisted living, but we'd have to sell their house for that, and then where would my siblings who cannot work go? AHAHAHAHA. FML.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ugh, Steph, I'm sorry to hear about your brother and glad to hear about your therapist!
Nilly's eldest will have his Bar Mitzvah soon. He'll be reading Book of Esther this Sunday/Monday.
Oh wow, mazel tov to him! (And his parents, I am sure.)

Oh yeah, that's how I ended up making one million mini-cupcakes from a cake recipe.

Yikes, Plei that does sound like a clusterfuck. Shopping sounds like an appropriate response.

Sorry about the stress (and the stuff behind it, that sounds super not fun) but this is giving me a lot of feels
