Willow ,'Him'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I sound unsympathetic: I kind of have to be, in order to deal with her at all. She's my mother and I do love her, but I've had to disengage from her emotionally.
Oh, you don't sound unsympathetic--I'm unsympathetic, so I'd be all "Well, mom, you're going to be bitter and angry anywhere, so might as well be bitter and angry where it's best for everyone else!"

Sing It.
I am having low level cognitive issues. The things it's occurring to me to say in conference calls--I really can't say 50% of them. A disturbing amount of them involve great violence.
And I'm trying to take notes, and be relaxed, and suddenly I'm thinking about the ceiling being sprayed with a hail of bullets. What's *with* that?
I think I was remembering the "no power, no water" thing about wells. That is sort of an issue if you lose power a lot.
Sara's been downstairs playing and singing to herself very operatically for the last twenty minutes. Sing like no one can hear you all the way.
I grew up in a town that had its own well ... it got minimal treatment and spoiled me for other tap water. I don't remember water going out when the power did, but I don't remember any power outages.

On any new medication, ita? I had that reaction to an antidepressant.

Three. My typing is also radically changed for the worse. It's really tough.
Any notable benefits? That sounds hard.
Thank you all: I'm grateful for the support & validation. And seriously, if we did think there was a chance that, as she is now, we could get her into assisted living and have it take, we'd pursue it. But she's too demented to be rational on the subject and not demented enough not to know what's going on...

Yikes, ita. I hope things settle down.
In better news, I managed to wangle a site visit tomorrow, so I'm going to see a lighthouse down on the peninsula. And I've decided to go to Chicago for my birthday, so I can eat at my brother's restaurant and attend his yearly holiday party and play with his dogs. This will conveniently get me out of town for my office's holiday party, which I expect to be a drag.
