Not quite yet. I'm suffering from two maladies, actually: "Grad School" and "Teenagers." The combination seems to cause my solar plexus to feel as though it's being wound on a fork, accompanied by light-headedness, shortness of breath, and hands that shake even more than usual. Not all the time, but more lately than previously.

I often find the obligations of family life to be like the bondage of roll upon roll razor wire wrapped around and pierced through its bodies until it's hard to tell the flesh from the tangled yarns - perfectly harmless to all, unless you dare even slightly move with your own will.

But at least there are croissants.
Somehow I had thought the brother-out-law was the brother of The Loved One, not attached via your sister. I love the turn of phrase, either way.
