I walked with M.
I did the 3 mile loop by myself.
A. went with the sitter, supposedly to go play mini golf, get ice cream and then go out to patio dining. It turned into, go to candy shop(s), get ice cream and then go patio dining. A. is sad about no mini golf and wants mini golf. We will see what we can do.
That all happened to create a time window for R. and I to take T. to a dinner out. Last year, we did Woods Hill Table and he was super psyched to wear his then new suit. The suit still fits (legs were let down a while back when he grew). I did not realize he intended to wear the suit again for patio dining in 80+ degrees, long sleeved white dress shirt and all. NO. OMG, NO. He would pit it out and then he would want a new one. NO. I cannot even think about him being fitted right now. I mean, I am sure, wear masks, it would be fine ... if anyone anywhere is even doing that.
Anyway, we had a rolling argument about it for an hour, I threatened all kinds of things, he would not drop it, I finally just started crying at the restaurant and he mostly let it go at that point. We agreed to take him out again in September when it would be cooler early on in the process but apparently no. My dad used to dress like that in the heat; eventually he wound up in the hospital with kidney stones. NO.
I had a delightful phone call with J. The phone call with K. did not happen because she lost track of time.
The phone call with J was interrupted by BIL (doc) calling about BIL (transitioning from current placement to a new and more appropriate one for him). For reasons that are completely opaque to me, doc and lawyer BIL decided that today was a good day to needle BIL who is in AR. Look, I _fully support_ needling BIL in AR. But, you know, leave me out of it during my phone call. I am viewing the needling as progress; before everyone was super protective of BIL in AR, but they are so mad at him for wasting refusing to make use of the feast of therapeutic options available to him there that the protectiveness is starting to wear off. Which is good; maybe now he can start to actually get better.
Also, for anyone who might need to know this: I spent decades picking at AA and other 12 step programs for a wide variety of reasons. No more.
