Aten't ded yet
Aug. 23rd, 2025 10:48 pmThings what have been happening:
A. My mom is an epic stress demon -- this deserves its own post but teal dear (or I guess TL;DW since it's not written up yet) early stages of dementia plus physical complications plus denial plus verbal aggression ... on top of the normal "treating me like I'm a teenager" and "calling multiple times a day" -- and I'm kind of boiling alive because stress and uncertainty
B. Speaking of boiling, today was the third day over 100F. Even with air conditioning and fans and cooling towels, it's way too hot
C. I have no sense of time any more. Everything is somehow too fast and too slow.
D. My brain is perpetually convinced I'm forgetting shit. Occasionally I actually am. But I'm basically living in perpetual anxiety.
E. Also I'm training new aides, which always sucks even when they're good
F. Phoebe is still cute af. So is Loki. The two of them are the only things keeping me halfway sane. If I can remember tomorrow I'll upload pictures.

Sending beverage-of-choice over ice cubes in a magic floating glass nobody has to hold.
