I've seen honest faces before. They usually come attached to liars.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

So frustrating. Tim's lung collapsed again -- the same lung he had surgery on in 2022 specifically to prevent it from collapsing again. He went to the ER after midnight last night (I didn't go with him), and now he's being transported to a different hospital about 20-30 minutes from here. I'm slamming down coffee and cheerios so I can go meet him at the new hospital.

I'm pretty overwhelmed (not specifically from this; from my whole goddamn life in general), and I think I have been for a while and have just been ignoring it. And I'm going to have to do that a little while longer so I can go be the caretaker again.

And my hip is really painful today and if this hospital doesn't have valet parking I am going to stab someone. Walking from the parking lot, even with a cane, is going to suck.

Aha -- I'll check their website, and if no valet parking, I'll get an Uber.

Okay, valet parking yes. One problem solved.

Oh no, Tep! Good thinking on the valet parking or Uber thing. Will be thinking of you both.

That's awful, Tep, I'm sorry.

You are officially beleaguered.
