The Isolated Blurt Thread XXXVII: You're Welcome, Fuckers

Tell me about it. I have labyrinthitis this week. Spewed all over my bed and dressing table the other night as the room was on fast spin cycle and couldn't find the fucking door. Previously had tomato soup so the place was like a bastard crime scene.
 
And I'm a terrible vomiter. None of those coughs and splashes for me. I dislocate my jaws and make Jurassic Park noises then go full geyser at Yellowstone. Horrific.
 
Times like these, I am glad I live north.
it's fucking unbelievable down here.
not much keeping us going other than the knowledge that it's old and it's death is inevitable.
what happens to the house of cards afterward has many curious in regards to the miasma surrounding it's central figure.
 
Im a good vomiter. Years of practicing. There are things you learn to do when you drink to excess for over a decade. It became second nature.

I am also, a power puker. I think it comes out of my eyeballs, at least it feels like it.

Facetime me next time and walk me through it. 👍

Think you got it down. Unhinge that jaw and exorcize that little demon. Next time, maybe dont look around the room while its happening... Practice makes perfect, I've always said!
 
I just got home from seeing my sister in law (that seems like such a downgrade for her). Technically my sister IN law, but i cant remember a time in my life, where she wasnt there. She feed me bottles as a baby, changed my diapers and was my role model in my fascination with cooking. Her food, is what i strive for in the taste of my meals. She is the other side of my brother. Their lives are so intertwined, its hard to pick who is who in their personalities. They've been together since they were children. One always followed the other.

She is sick. Very sick and has been for a few years. In and out of the hospital, gets deathly ill, then bounces back. Each time, a little weaker than before, but always bounces back. Shes not old, early 60s, but she looks like shes 90. Her and my brother have lived fast and hard lives. Alcohol, drugs and god knows what else. But, they've always found a way out, together. Even when it was the hardest thing they had ever faced. True soulmates. Not soul mates as in eternal love and kindness, soulmates as in struggle, joy, depression, good, very bad times. They've tried to live apart when things were at the worst, but something always drew them back together. Like magnets you cant pull apart, even when you do everything to try. It hasnt been glamorous or triumphant most of the time, its been a hard life for both of them. Even so, they always found away. When one was sick, the other treated, in an endless lifetime cycle. That cycle is very close to an end. My brother knows it and he had counted on him dying first. Always figured he would be the one to break the bond. That wont be the case.

Not only is it sad to watch a person, you deeply care about, struggle to stay alive, its even more heartbreaking to watch the other half try to make sense of it. Get hit with the reality of what will happen. To see beyond the life they shared and be faced with truth about after. Its sobering. It will happen to all of us, soon enough. But to watch the moment of comprehension, is something all together different. I watched my brothers eyes, as he made that connection today.

He is not a stupid man. We are all a highly intelligent family, but coming to grips with your wifes and your own fate, is something that needs to be experienced to learn. Pain brings understanding of things you would otherwise not let yourself think about. "it'll be fine" "she'll pull through, she always does" are not the words i heard from him today.

We sat in her room, trying to make her as comfortable as possible, watching doctors and nurses fly around to get her stable. They won today, but the damage has been done. Her time in this plane of existence is coming to an end and my big brother is going to need to figure it out. I cant help him, i havent learned his lesson yet. Its one thing to observe, its another to experience. He will need me in the coming days. That i know. I will be there for him, but i cant understand his pain. Not yet. Soon, but not yet.

Love you Dee!
 
This evening it's a beer or two with the guys from college. We're a loose group of graduates that meet up once a month to have a beer and bullshit one another. A lot of us are engineers, but we've got accountants, lawyers, judges, wildlife biologists, etc in the mix. It's all good fun and if your birthday happens to be in the month we're meeting, your beer and food are paid for by the rest. Easy to spot, we're the group of old guys. We get great service and we tip well.

I'm so sorry; that's hard.

That's rough, bud. Thoughts are with you and your family. Stay strong. Your brother will need it. I hope her passing is peaceful.
