Long days journy

It has been a while since I have posted. Not really from a lack of things to say, or a lack of frustrating political fun, but rather from a lack of stamina. I am tired.

Besides jobs, PAB and a classes, life has been hard for the set.element family. I do not often reflect on the personal, but things have been a little more stressed than usual. The Lucky Cat posting has touched on a few things, but really there is much more.

Lucky cat has dragged himself up to the laptop from the floor. No working back legs. Angry cat...

This needs to be said in some sort of public way:

Mrs. set.element has taken the brunt of her mothers madness both in terms of having her life taken away, and having her life taken away. Both she and her sister have paid their dues. Paid in full. If there was any fucking justice in this world they would be happy and fulfilled. The waste that I spoke of before pales in comparison to the toll that has been extracted over the years in terms of human potential.

Young Mrs. set.element is certainly smarter than her husband and all the alarmingly condescending people she grew up with. She could be a physician or researcher who would make a god damed difference in this world. Every single time that things start going right, something goes wrong with her mom. Every single time. This pisses me off.

Life can be hard, cruel and worst of all indifferent and she has been enjoying a bit too much of all three. We need to figure something out, and soon.

Back to our regularly scheduled program.
