"The Moon Is In Caca" -- Tales of the City

[days_unfolding]

Mom called from England. Her flight was exhausting, although she was lucky to get out of there before the chaos in Chicago on Thursday (?). (For those of you who haven't heard, someone set fire to the air traffic control center in Chicago that handles flights going over the Chicago area. There was a ground stop that affected flights across the country. People in the air going to Chicago were rerouted to Detroit, etc. What a mess. I'm getting an earful from my friends in Chicago.) Anyway, Arthur is still in the hospital. They won't let him leave unless he goes into a nursing home or has 24-hour care, and he can't afford 24-hour care. He wants them to release him in care of my mom, but he can't walk, and my mom has a hip replacement and can't exactly be his caretaker, not to mention that she's leaving in a couple of weeks. So she thinks that the shit will hit the fan on Monday. My Uncle Art is in extended care right now with his broken arm. My aunt said that both he and she are grumpy. I told my mom about my epic day on Friday. (The good news is that I was able to nap for a couple of hours before my mom called, so the meds are wearing off.) So...I don't know what to say exactly.

I tested out HootSuite, which makes automated appends to social media, and it worked to post on Facebook. I also got a free "social media planner" from another site. But I think that it's a good day to cocoon. So I'm planning to throw myself together, run to Best Buy to get ink for the cheap printer that I bought for my friend in Chicago, which I haven't done anything with, run to the "cheap" grocery store nearby for a couple of things (although I shopped in my downstairs freezer and filled up my upstairs freezer), watch a movie, and clip some coupons and do some mending. I'll plan and set up social media appends afterward. And go to sleep at a decent hour.

Plan B. I still feel like there's an electrical storm going on in my head (tough to describe if you haven't experienced it, but I'm not surprised that these drugs can cause seizures if you overdose on them), and I think that I have enough partially-open bottles of soda to make it until tomorrow, plus I have Crystal Light, so I'm going to stay home. And never, ever do this again.

I don't know from meds, but your description of an "electrical storm" in your head is akin to some migraine symptoms I've had. Feel better!
