So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
We're staying at the Hotel Majestic. It's close to the venue and looked interesting.
Aftershock!
Eep!

Timelies all!
Another week down the tubes here. School started up again on Tuesday, and Mr. S had a major meltdown. He was quite disregulated the next morning and refusing to take his meds. Eventually he took them, but not before Gary got incredibly frustrated and hit him with a pillow. Once he got to school he had another meltdown and told his teacher that he'd been hit. Which led to police coming by that evening to do a welfare check. When they wanted to talk to him he became physically aggressive, hitting me and one of the officers. This led to him being taken to the ER in handcuffs, again. Gary followed. It was decided Mr. S needed more help than they could offer, and yesterday they found a bed in the same pediatric ward he was in last November.
To sum up: Mr. S is in the hospital again.
sigh...

Our wings are not tired.
I'm sorry, Sheryl. I hope they have more success with him this stay.

I'm so sorry Sheryl. I hope this stay helps.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm so sorry to hear that, Sheryl.
Good news re: benefits, David!
We did manage to watch Poor Things last week. I was not prepared for the amount of very naked Emma Stone weird sex I was going to be watching with my teen daughter, but we both enjoyed the movie.
I feel like almost nothing I heard about that movie was just how much it is ABOUT sex! So I tried to tell that to everyone I was telling about it, even at work, which maybe was awkward and/or a mistake? But I would hate to have said I really liked it and then had the coworker been surprised?? Anyway.

Happy birthday, Amy!
It's also Alex's birthday--he's 20 today, which is making me feel all the usual cliches about time going by too fast, etc. We're taking him out for lunch at a conveyor belt sushi place to celebrate.
