muffins and waffles and what it's like to be here

my throat and eyes and inside-ears are swollen. this happens once every quarter, always at the end, always after pushing and pushing and then, collapse. i anticipated it this time, but my body and i have terrible timing

i hope for the best for your mother. i'm reminded of an instance you told me about once, the first cigarette you had shared with your mother...coming home i've realized how strange it is for your parents to all of a sudden consider you a grownup, but darling i guess we are grown up...and you, as one of the more caring, considerate, and mature people that i know, in that secret life you talk about...are probably the best person your mother could hope to care for her.

good luck.

All the best, as always. Let me know if you need anything.
