Shaky yoga makes me feel hyperenergetic. But last night I took the baseball bat to the punching bag. Very satisfying. |

Art -- I have absolutely no idea. This sounds nutso but it's only this past weekend that I could actually allow myself to feel any anger at my mother and not immediately become numb. This just when I was all alone
![]() ATAT -- yep, you got the time difference right. No, the calls will begin with a delayed onset reaction (next week perhaps) if I don't succumb to garden variety guilt before then that is. (Alright, I shall stop subjecting the Couch to my family saga right about here.) |

(((Awk))) is she frail? At 70 my mother was still hip-bumping old guys off the city park walking trails if they got in her way, trading bags of "tomatoes" from their gardens.

My mother is 71 and while she looks frail (one of those little women - I can't imagine her ever having been pregnant, let alone with twins), she is perfectly capable of, say, shoveling the house and driveway out from under 3+ feet of snow. On her own. Or sawing up the old iron water heater in the basement. On her own. Or balancing precariously on the edge of the chimney to clip tree branches. On her own. And dismissing any child who dares to try to help her.
The pretense of frailty is like babies being cute to get what they want. |

Umm.....ATAT / Una -- I feel like I need to pay you guys therapy fees
![]() Yeah, I guess frail is debatable. My mother has bad knees -- a bunch of people though who know her well (her sisters) as well as those who haven't met her (a couple of my ex-es) told me to chill out on catering to her condition because she can manage okay (her routine and travels bear out what they've said but I haven't wanted to look at it too closely). I had a knockdown-dragout fight with my ex-es over it and got mad at my aunts... |

I dunno -- perhaps it might be prudent to follow Odysseus and tie yourself to a mast before you venture forth?

I emailed T in the end and he said well done for listening to myself, trusting myself and letting that take me forward even though it hurt. He said it sounded like an important step and it was good to read. I feel really supported by him.

Jdna yes tim tams re Australian. Crocus can do the Tim Tam slam where you bite. Piece of diagonal corners and use it like straw. The trick is to do it fast so the biscuit doesn't melt just the cream.

I was complaining to my t about how the chairs in his room feel like they are engulfing me, I am really small these are huge recliners. He said to bring in a cushion and a blanket to see if that helps. I can see how the cushion might help in making me sit higher up in the chair, but I don't see how the blanket comes in.
