Exasperation: As soon as I get the plug and am able to run the air conditioner, it starts to cool down so it happened the opposite way which is it supposed to be breaking down on a COOL day and then I can use it on a hot day.

Only good update is that my mom was awake and talking to us when we got there this morning. She still has difficulty forming sentences, but she was happy to see us. She’s still in really bad shape.

It’s so hard to go forward right now. I’m trying to be strong for her when I can’t even be strong for myself. I can’t help but dread tomorrow. I’m trying so hard not to let any regrets come to me.

I’m just so scared, everyone. Despite all the encouragement from so many fighting their own battles in relation to her, I’m still so scared.

God, please heal her, and no matter what, please give me strength.

It is o.k. to be scared D-Rock, it is also o.k. not to be able to keep a brave face all the time, something I learnt a while back. You are doing brilliantly just being there for your Mum.

It's okay to be fearful and it's okay to cry. Your mother is in some serious pains, and while we really can't help much, we're all doing the best I can to make you feel better about her situation.

Sorrow: My brother was diagnosed with diabetes yesterday :(

I'm not sure what to think about this at his age. The family has a history of this and now he suddenly gets it when we've been doing fine.

Edit: He's doing fine at least. He's taking it better than we expected so far.

Disconcertion: I just had a troubling thought hit me when I got up after seeing the news about what happened in Florida. Anybody know if we have/had any members that lived in the collapsed condo? The thought sort of terrifies me.

Some more encouraging news. My moms intubation tube was toned down. It was helping make sure she could breathe, and it was lowered from doing 50% of her breathing to 40%. They’re also finding where her infection is and are working on applying antifungals and antibiotics to the proper areas, and a blood transfusion to elevate lowered hemoglobin and red cell counts.

Sorrow: I feel like these thoughts are slowly eating me up day after day making me lose my mind, those Night Trap and Diff'rent Strokes thoughts are driving me crazy making my friends scared to come near me... those thoughts just flashes in my eyes and blinds me from enjoying the real happy world out there, my brain keeps thinking about those deceased actors and their works like every second of my existence, now what is bothering me is that "Zontar" video featuring Conrad Bain's twin brother Bonar Bain, I missed details and scenes from that video makes my mind curious to watch the whole thing and I really don't want to, such as the title card or I didn't hear the names etc. I just want to go back to being obsessed about Japan and not about those deceased actors. I wanna be the happy joyful me that I know and love, not the depressed me... everybody starts to hate me for complaining every single second and the thoughts are just ruining my life I feel like I'm going crazy!

That is good that I am not the only one who has to deal with this. Because my eyes started bothering me again 3 hours AFTER I posted that they stopped. >_<

Huh. I was always confused by movies and TV as a kid because I don't have any allergies. My little brother is allergic to mosquitoes, though.

Spring loaded Sorrow as I just found out: Dave Near, creator of Higan, have been murdered by what I will refer to as "Garbage Post Kids." have a tvtropes page to know what I mean among other forum speak.

Garbage Post Kids have Murdered Near by any means necessary, especially the exploitation of his mental wellness, and THAT is why I no longer respect the likes of Japanese Imageboards.

And the maraschino cherry bomb on this banana split of despair, they murdered him on the 30th anniversary month, week and year of "Sonic The Hedgehog." (There's a hidden barb to them in a "Not So Different" fallacy to the murderers and A certain mark of theirs but I'll leave it for you to discover.)

`Tis the season. :(
On the other hand, my neighbor has a LOT of birdhouses and the fledglings are beginning to stick their heads out the peep holes. She has long perch rods on her birdhouses under the theory - which may or may not be valid - that it helps the little ones get out more easily when their ready to go all airborne.
