Oh Steph, sending lots of strength and love your way. He is so fortunate to have you there.
Sir? I'd like you to take the helm, please. I need this man to tear all my clothes off.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Teppy, that's just so difficult. I'm sorry that this is falling on you.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Steph, I am so sorry that your brother is going through this, and I'm so sorry that you are going through this. And thank God you are there to go through it with him. I hope he gets into treatment soon.
As for his wife, one of the hardest things about going through a crisis is having to deal with other people's failure to deal with it. I wish she was there to help you.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I would like to sleep all day or barring that, eat all the cheese.
Sign me up!
Hang in there, Steph. I'm hoping you can get him under medical care ASAP, alcohol withdrawal is fucking scary.

I don't want to say "don't be mad at his wife" because you are allowed to be angry at anything and everything, Tep, but I do want to say that her not choosing to rush home is valid. You don't know everything that's gone into that decision.

On a completely different note - I got that employee of the month thing for January. So that's feels pretty good.

Oh man, Steph. Hang in there. I am so glad you're there for him.
In other TV news, Downton! My only comment about Tom Branson is: "I am not having sex with Spike, but I'm starting to think that you might be."
You are not wrong, Jesse: [link] (ETA: That link is slightly spoilery for last night's Downton.)

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
Good going -t!!!!
Teppy, I'm hoping the next few days go as easy as possible. I'm headed to Utah tomorrow/Wednesday but if you are still in Colorado when I get back, I'd love to treat you to dinner or some kind of break.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

That's definitely true. And she lives with this every day and I don't.

So cool!
