Wishing you & your brother the best, Steph.

Every time I sit down, I get catted. It's not even cold!

Challenging days in Buffistaland. Hugs to those that want them, otherwise, supportively sitting nearby but not too close.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Love and strength and ~ma to you and your brother, Steph.

meara, that sounds really frustrating. I'd be pretty mad too.

Today is rainy and cool-but-not-cold and making me very lazy. Yesterday my sister came to visit and instead of doing "projects" we went out exploring antique stores. I bought a couple things but only spent about $20, and we had a great time looking at antiques and going, "Oh, we had that in the old farmhouse! Hey, do you remember this? Do we still have one of those?" Wow, we're old.

At 65, my sister is finally beginning to slow down a little. She gets tired like regular people now! She no longer goes full speed from dawn to 10pm, leaving her little sister (me) exhausted and overstimulated and cranky. We get along so much better now that she's stopped being Superwoman.

I'm glad you're going, Tep.

Safe travels, Steph. I hope everything works out as well as possible.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Man, my flight is delayed 2 hours. And I'm wondering just how utterly wrong it would be to go to the wine bar and get hammered, given that I'm on my way to take my relapsed alcoholic brother to rehab.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Ha! I would not blame you.

K. I am going to get a trough of wine. In theory my flight boards in an hour. There's a Chik-Fil-A 100 feet from me, but they're closed on Sundays, the jerks. So you can see I have no recourse but to get a trough of wine.

Yum. Tasting flight of 3 California reds and a cheese plate.
