You're nice, and you're funny and you don't smoke, and okay, werewolf, but that's not all the time. I mean, three days out of the month, I'm not much fun to be around, either.

mac still does not get it. He is once again failing his classes. He's been given the choice of figuring out how to pay his own rent and expenses (he does not make enough at his job, but could likely swing it if he got a roommate in his studio apt which is allowed) or move here and live with me and work full-time.

I am not thrilled with either option. I am worried about both options.

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.

msbelle, I'm sorry. It's hard to watch and think "If you would just -" about your adult offspring.

YES! Just pass two easy af Community College classes a semester AND YOU HAVE SHIT PAID FOR!!! JFC. (to be clear, I do not take this tone with him)

Of course he is not responding to my texts.

I guess I should start really organizing the basement in case moving here is the choice.

Our wings are not tired.

I'm sorry, msbelle. I hope he gets his act together faster than my eldest.

Amyparker, I'm so sorry to hear about your dad. Thinking about you and your loved ones.

Also, msbelle, ugh. I don't even know.

And yes, Dcp is, as always, a good egg.

Much health~ma to your father, amyparker.

It has not been an easy year to be a student, and some schools are doing better in accommodating that than others. I hope Mac can find a way to move forward that isn't too onerous for you, msbelle.

Love and good healing vibes coming your and your dad's way, amyparker.

Agree on dcp and good egg-ness.

Such a weird day. It started out with missing half of my bi-weekly call with my sisters, because I just forgot and was asleep, then my friend-boss forgetting about our 10:30a call, then being late for my book club Zoom... because I was finishing this week's reading, tbh... and then all of a sudden it was 3p, and I had the hungries.

I am supposed to start my online meditation learning course today. Perhaps if I had gotten up earlier and started with that, things would've been less... thing-y.
