I never post here, and I got a new job, so I thought I would. I'll be starting my first full-time job in the for-profit sector on either 6/27 or 6/29.

LA-istas: A friend of mine in LA has rescued 4 feral kittens (he describes them as "absolute fuzzy love bombs"), and is looking for homes for them. If anyone is looking for a new cat, or knows someone who is, go here and say so. [link]

'Tis very early but I'm shitty at keeping secrets.
As of this morning, it looks like Owen's going to be a big brother.
I'm now a college graduate.
It's kind of a weird feeling.
I have several nice pieces of size 6 work clothes (including suits) that I was gonna put up on ebay. I thought I'd offer them here. I can send folks pictures if you are interested. profile addy.
My dad had to be taken to the emergency room last night for abdominal pains and was sent home at 4:30 am on sedatives/painkillers. The tests for serious stuff all came back clear, so the doctor thinks it's probably either a pre-ulceric condition or gastritis. (Dad's high-risk for the latter between having acid reflux and taking aspirin daily.) He hadn't woken for the day as of the last update , so we don't yet know if the pain is continuing today. Any good health-ma would be greatly appreciated.
Good-parenting-ma requested. Long story short, my 16 yr old got arrested for the 3rd time yesterday. I'm so numb over it, I can barely think.
I'm going to be dark-gray for a bit. New job is very satisfying but is all-consuming. Best wishes to all of yez.
We arrived safely in Alabama, and the visit is going well so far. We still don't have the results from the tests Dad's doctors ran last week, but while Dad is extremely frail and subdued, it still seems like he's himself and is fighting this. Annabel has really taken to him and will sit on his lap with great patience, while with anyone else she's clamoring to get down so she can be on the go.
Regardless of what happens, I expect to be a darker gray than usual this visit, because the computer is in the hottest room of the house, and y'all know well that heat and me are unmixy things.
