I really should check the forecast for Salt Lake.
The snow came through yesterday, it looks like it will be clear and getting warmer the rest of the week. Highs in the 40s.
I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
What msbell said. Many good thoughts and vibes out to all of you dealing with bad things.
Connie, I'm glad the ALF is there to watch over your dad.
I read this that Alf (the puppet) was watching over Connie's dad. I am not sure if Alf would be a good caretaker. Also, for some reason Alf alway reminded me of Ronald Reagan (I was 13 - 15 when it was on). I seriously thought that they were satirizing Ronald Reagan through Alf.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I can kind of see that. Based on stills, anyway. I never watched Alf, but I am having trouble imagining what satirical political subtext it might have had.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Yup.
Rain here, lots of rain.
Yup.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
My brother has an appointment today with his therapist. I'm looking forward to the therapist's input on Jeff's attempt to taper off alcohol without going to the hospital.
Jeff is still sleeping right now, so I have blessed silence. My brother is one of my favorite people in the world, but I'm used to spending most of the day alone, so having someone there 24/7 is weird. (Even on the weekends, when Tim is around, he isn't a chatterbox. I've gotten used to Beckmeyer stoicism!)
I am drinking some seriously good coffee, though. Benefits of a SiL who's a coffee buyer.

Mmm, coffee. Hope the therapist appointment is helpful!

Fingers crossed!

Best of luck today, Teppy! I hope the therapist can talk some sense into your brother.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Good luck today, Teppy! Hopefully incessant talking is a good sign.
