Thanks - I'm so very relieved that it wasn't worse, but it was also quite the wake-up call to realize that he says he's put all his affairs in order should anything happen to him, but I don't know the details and I don't even really know for sure that he's done that.

So I may have to make a trip out to ensure all the Power of Attorney stuff, get details on his life insurance and burial plans, and make sure my little brother is accounted for should my father die while Lagan is still a minor. Lots of stuff -- and for the moment I'll need to be the one making sure bills get paid while my dad goes to rehab for a couple weeks.

Oh, yeah, and maybe I should make sure all my own affairs are in order. The most I've done to this point is look around the house and think "Jeeze, if I get hit by a bus, what in the hell is my family going to do with all this stuff?"

All the morbid but mundane duties of life are adding a lot of stress but also helping to distract me from the horror of the election.

How are you getting by?

My normal low level vague sense of unexpected doom is turbocharged, but all the thing happening in my actual personal life are quite good.

Glad to hear things are going well! Am I remembering correctly that you relocated a few years ago? It's funny, I didn't realize until just this minute that when I'm talking to Moties I don't visualize faces, I see general areas on a map. I see this even for folks I've actually met in person.


I'm with you on the sinister background track. I didn't know that not everyone heard that, and then I got a random request through my doctor to take a test for generalized anxiety. I took it, but I told her, yeah, we're just calling that realistic these days.:-)

Oh wow - the dreaded double-post. And it skipped back in time, too. Weird.
