Thessaly writes writes, on livejournal:
...I'm accepted to New England College's graduate program in poetry, with a nice chunk of scholarship money to start my forage for funding. I'll probably start classes in July. It's a low-residency program, so I'll still be here, just overwhelmed.
Anyone with any ideas for where to find another $22,000, please chime in.
WOO AND HOO!!!
Considering the above post, it may be a good time to mention that thessaly has office gargoyles and her latest poetry book, Banjo Variations availible at here .
Princess Miracleborn I update:
Emma's fever...or, as it may be, non-fever (epic ranting tale to come later...watch your newsstands, kids!) has abated muchly from the get-go of her NICU stay. Doctor intends to release her tomorrow. NICU Neo-natal doc has head firmly lodged up Neo-natal doc's ASS as does one or two NICU nurses. (Epic ranting tale COMING SOON! Just in time for Xmas!) So listen for yippees, hurrahs and loud sighs of "Fucking A!" relief come tomorrow between 10 am and 1 pm PDT.
Thanks for the fever-ma. If I could beg some Bureaucratic Sanity-ma, that'd be spifferifous.
We are home.
We've had her home for 4 hours or so and she ain't bleeding!!!
Thanks for all the -ma and love and flowers and GIANT PANDA!!!
What a long, strange trip it's been.
I'm glad Aimee and the clan are home now.
I've posted pictures of Carmarthen, the place I'm staying at here in Wales.

bertram has a heart problem not sure what that means yet. please send ma for the best possible outcome. Bert's the baby, the lapcat purrboy.
I'm not sure who I've been keeping in the loop on this, but now that things are settled, I figure it's safe to share.
We've been hoping to buy the family home, which I guess makes us crazy enough to participate in LA real estate, but at least gives us a leg up. Anyway, we made an offer and my siblings accepted it. We've secured a loan. Looks like it's official.
We own our very own DUMP! um, yay?!
