So in case you are following my deranged and slightly mysterious ramblings anymore, the thing that I was worrying about went well today. I am now solidly and forever a Guardian Over the Estate and Person, provided that no one ever decides that I am sucking and takes me to court to get it revoked. It was actually harder to get there than to be in the hearing, which lasted all of five minutes: the wheelchair vans are sort of alarmingly rickety and slipshod, and I feel fairly certain that they should not involve so many bungee cords.
Also, our application for medical assistance was approved on the first try, when we thought that we would for sure get denied the first time and have to appeal. I am not quite sure how to react to this - perhaps I shall don my pith helmet, draw my native boy aside, and whisper, "It's quiet in the jungle tonight. Too quiet. Be on the lookout." Because really, I have become so accustomed to everything being harder than it at first appears that I am very suspicious of things that go smoothly and make sense.
On the way home, this fool blocked the subway doors as I was getting off and then tried to trip me when I wouldn't stand for his guff and blasted on through. What came out when I turned to bestow a well-deserved expletive was "FUCKHAT!"
Don't ask me. I just live here.

well, it's probably still winning but i'm sure you navigate this shit better than an average human. i hope the stars stay on the side of dads for a little while longer.
I dunno, Tron. "Fuckhat," while not bad for a spur-of-the-moment kind of thing, still somehow falls short of the usual precise skewering of the Tron's style at its laserlike best.
I chalk it up to too many recent sojourns in the halls of Institutionemia.
May the Dad wax calm & mellow, and may the Tron get lots of much-needed R&R.
