All over the emotional map again today. Heading home to Ohio tonight, returning ultra-late Monday night. Stepdad's nearly over his kidney infection, so at least I shouldn't be walking into anything too grim.
As soon as I get back, I start moving out of Transliminal for good. I'm still pretty rattled about this and how it happened. But Peg and I are coming to terms and making Plan A for improving our living quarters, and she's been absurdly gracious about all this.
@mawr THE KIDS. I left the kids at home. I am the worst parent.
Or, given I'll be in Ohio, I am the best parent. There's not a hell of a lot for three differently-animate textile-American feline kids to do in a Midwestern suburb.
I mean, there's a huge squirrel population for them to chase, but I don't want MY kids mixed up in that scene... Among other things, I'm pretty sure most of the squirrels in Ohio are on meth.
