but your brother on top of that?
It's pretty heavy shit he's working through. But he told me today that he's looking for a therapist (finally!) and he found a sobriety group that's not AA (he doesn't think AA is objectively bad; it's just not right for him), so that should help a lot.
I will always, ALWAYS be there for him, but I'm glad he's adding members to Team Sober Bro.
I'm sorry you're dealing with so much, Tep, that's hard.
I am now feeling guilty because I bailed on going back to clean out Dad's apartment tonight and my sister is doing it for the second night in a row...
Sigh.
Best vibes for your brother's sobriety, Steph. What a rough time you have had lately!
Yeah, that is a serious lot, Tep.
Consuela, it's ok. You can do what you can do. This is a marathon, so pace yourself. It's all right.
Man, Steph -- I'm sorry for all of it.
::hugs Teppy hard:: That's a whole lot of life in a few weeks. Take whatever comfort you need to get through.
::hugs Consuela, too:: Exactly what Liese said.
Lots of ~ma Steph.
In my corporate e-mail I found out that Lowe's is acquiring RONA in Canada making it the dominate home improvement chain. That's right, Lowe's practically runs Canada now. You'll all be wearing red vests soon. Maybe we'll change the leaf on the flag to red too. Bwah ha ha ha ha!
Are you challenging Candadian Tire?
Today's xkcd tells us how to make cheerleader arms. Probably not what he's referring to, but it's the application I know.
Went to the doctor this morning, which was fine. She does make me laugh -- she asked if I was emotionally ready for the pap!
Hugs and coping ~ma to Steph and Consuela, and may I say you're both coping awfully well.
Hope Tim has gout! My mom had RA in her fingers and she was miserable with it. Gout has to be preferable. From back when I was real into natural cures for everything, I recall that cherries are supposed to help gout. Tim should eat lots of cherries! If they help, it's gout, and if not, he's had delicious cherries, win-win.
Still don't know how to make cheerleader arms. Imma practice; stand back.
