... Like Me When Someone Fucks With My Family.

Background Updates:

November 14th, I successfully managed to get my grandmother discharged from the hospital into an inpatient hospice facility. By that time she was firmly in the grip of hospital psychosis and was going downhill fast. She stayed in the inpatient facility for four days, resting and ( Read more... )

I firmly believe that all adults who do anything dangerous (like, oh, say, living) should have a medical power of attorney. Something to say, "If I can't make decisions for myself, I want Person X to make them for me."

I hold her hand gently, the loose skin feeling fragile and paper-thin under my fingertips.

“How could I have made JD live like this?” she sobs. “How could I have made him live, suffering like this?”

I try to keep the sound of my own tears from my voice, even as they fall to the bed below. “All we can do is our best, Grandma. All we can do is try and ( Read more... )

I am surrounded by people and lonely as hell. This sucks.

I am so glad today is Friday. I have no idea why - all I’m doing this weekend is work, work, laundry, and more work - but I’m glad it’s the weekend nonetheless. I so want out of this place.

The Texas Rangers are in the World Series! Yay!!

My son came home from his 2-day camping trip today, acting like the world's most perfect angel of a little boy. Came in the door, ran straight to my lap, and just sat there snuggling on me for ten minutes. Cleaned up his playroom without being prompted. Used his manners all afternoon. If this ( Read more... )

I hate having to cancel plans I've made, especially ones I'm looking forward to. And I was *really* looking forward to this weekend ( Read more... )

...Aaaand, to top it all off, my mom called me this evening, having a schizophrenic crisis of the meltdown and go psychotic sort. So I have to take her to the doctor tomorrow and make sure she gets the assistance she needs... which I personally think should probably include a short-term hospital stay ( Read more... )

I'm losing my shit over here. Anybody know anybody who wants to hire an accountant?
