And idk if everything's going to move over to the new one.

So, anyone who stalked my address, not, I have no idea what those two dogs in my front yard are doing or who that guy watching is.  I also have no idea why there's a man in a tutu sitting in a kiddie pool drinking beer in the front yard.  I think they mixed up my address with someone else's.

I'm bothered that a relative decided to buy a piece of furniture for us even though its not what we needed, it is entirely too big and the color doesn't match anything else we have.

So my boss has asked us to go into the DC every hour to take down some readings from some PDUs in there. As we work 24/7 he is hoping to see some trend develop as load on things goes down, power usage will go down.

Here is the trend from the last three and a half weeks.



The dip was because one of them wasn't working briefly.

But if you can ID a trend from that, you are a better man than I. We've started doing it every two hours now because it's so ****ing pointless.

So I posted before about my mom having that blood vessel break in her brain. She had been doing a bit better and was finally out of the hospital and in a rehab facility and improving. I still hadn't been able to talk to her even though she was talking because I didn't have the number for the rehab place and she wouldn't have been able to hold the phone anyway and I guess nobody thought to call me but it's too late for any of that now.

My mom had a heart attack Friday. They did a couple of stents and she was going to the ICU with the plan to step her back down to the rehab place.

By Sunday they told her she wasn't going to make it.

Monday morning I found out and immediately booked the soonest flight I could get, the following morning. Later she was moved to a hospice facility. I booked a rental car and a hostel bed.

Tuesday morning I flew out, got the rental car, and went and sat with my mom most of the day. Got dragged out to dinner, had to do some practical stuff, went back to see her again but was super tired and had to drive 40 minutes to hostel so I only stayed a few minutes, told her I loved her a dozen times, hugged her, kissed her, told her I'd be back in the morning, she was gasping like a fish and it was awful. Kept blowing her kisses but she was so tired and couldn't really stay awake. Had horrible feeling heading to freeway that I needed to turn around and go back but I know my mom wouldn't have wanted me there seeing her like that any longer than I had to so I pushed it down and went and got some sleep.

Woke up at 5ish the next morning, missed call at 2ish am. ****. I knew before I called back, she'd gone in the night. The nurses were there and I know she wouldn't have wanted me there but I still feel bad about it.

The worst part is that I didn't think to try to save any of the voicemail she left me in January before everything went wrong until it was too late and they'd already been deleted from the server, and her phone number was already redirected to her friend's number a month ago, and I never really took pictures of her so all I have is the tiny picture in my contacts because the original of the photo was lost along with my old micro SD card.

The worst worst part is that I don't feel as horrible as I think I should and I know part of it is that really I've been mourning since January but I still feel like I should be constantly sobbing instead of just tired and sad and numb.

I'm sorry she finally passed. That sounds like a horrible experience as well. Losing someone is never easy, and it seems like the situation you were in made it even worse for everyone.

Don't worry too much about the pictures. It's the things you have and the memories you had that should eventually outweigh the pictures you want to keep. That thing about the voicemails does suck though, that would have been a cool thing to have.

I think the slow realisation you would lose her has actually helped. It's time that eventually heals, and to have her still there while you are losing her is probably better for you , as selfish as it sounds. Don't force yourself to mourn. Don't force yourself to cry, if you need to, you will just do it.

Got dragged out to dinner, had to do some practical stuff, went back to see her again but was super tired and had to drive 40 minutes to hostel so I only stayed a few minutes, told her I loved her a dozen times, hugged her, kissed her, told her I'd be back in the morning, she was gasping like a fish and it was awful. Kept blowing her kisses but she was so tired and couldn't really stay awake. Had horrible feeling heading to freeway that I needed to turn around and go back but I know my mom wouldn't have wanted me there seeing her like that any longer than I had to so I pushed it down and went and got some sleep.

Woke up at 5ish the next morning, missed call at 2ish am. ****. I knew before I called back, she'd gone in the night. The nurses were there and I know she wouldn't have wanted me there but I still feel bad about it.

The worst part is that I didn't think to try to save any of the voicemail she left me in January before everything went wrong until it was too late and they'd already been deleted from the server, and her phone number was already redirected to her friend's number a month ago, and I never really took pictures of her so all I have is the tiny picture in my contacts because the original of the photo was lost along with my old micro SD card.

The worst worst part is that I don't feel as horrible as I think I should and I know part of it is that really I've been mourning since January but I still feel like I should be constantly sobbing instead of just tired and sad and numb.
Hey you were able to spend some time with her :) Sounds like she was present during some of it. The few weeks my dad was in the hospital he barely spoke. It sucks losing a parent, all I could do was think of what I could have done different to get him to talk more. It's been about five years and now I understand that there wasn't much I could have done.

So I posted before about my mom having that blood vessel break in her brain. She had been doing a bit better and was finally out of the hospital and in a rehab facility and improving. I still hadn't been able to talk to her even though she was talking because I didn't have the number for the rehab place and she wouldn't have been able to hold the phone anyway and I guess nobody thought to call me but it's too late for any of that now.

My mom had a heart attack Friday. They did a couple of stents and she was going to the ICU with the plan to step her back down to the rehab place.

By Sunday they told her she wasn't going to make it.

Monday morning I found out and immediately booked the soonest flight I could get, the following morning. Later she was moved to a hospice facility. I booked a rental car and a hostel bed.

best wishes to you, she knows you loved her and you know she loved you, losing the closest to you is a heartache, PM me if you feel like it,

No, numb is appropriate. There is a point where you need to let go, and that might even happen some considerable time before the death of the body. Having been through several of these events now (but only 2 were parents, of course) and looking at my 64th birthday coming up in 3 months, I have taken a much more philosophical attitude towards death.

If you (the one who is going to die) are at peace with it, then it is imperative that you let those around you know it.
They are the ones whose suffering will continue after yours is over, and you have the power to ease that pain in advance.

As 2 singer-songwriters (both still alive today) said in songs from the 1980s:

Todd Steed: "I'm not afraid of dying, I'm afraid of other people dying."

Bruce Hampton: "I don't mind dying, I just hate to see my children cry."
"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

It's okay if you have something to show that the prices are high like links showing comparable prices, but that was a little bit more than "speaking out" IMO.  Telling someone they are asking too much is different than telling them that they are everything wrong with the community, which is probably the reason for the ban.

I mean like, who is more at fault here? The buyer or the seller? If you're going to offer me $$$ for a piece of plastic you're god damn right I'm gonna take it. Morals don't pay bills. Plus **** I care what you dudes think.

So why even continue to fight something that is going to happen regardless?

Exactly, it's like those people who spend hundreds of dollars on small anime figures, sometimes thousands, not worth it but people who pay the ridiculous price obviously don't care
