All is well that ends in pizza.

My mom's boyfriend Ray is now enduring swelling on the brain. They've moved hospice into his room, as they don't want to move him.

My mom is not taking this very well (To be expected!). We lost my dad about 15 years ago the day after thanksgiving.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

My grandfather died this morning. He was a very good man. Please think of him and my family.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Hi there. So I just applied for a permanent placement in my job. I really really want it as it would give me a fantastic job that I love that allows me to spend my days with Em, summers off, kick-ass health insurance, and entrance into the teacher's union. Please send the job ~~~ ma.

Compassionately intolerant

Good morning!

May I please have some 'best possible outcome' ~ma?

I have finished my financial aid application for Sibley hospital just under the deadline and am completely stressed out. It's being delivered today and I really need for the evaluating committee to be on my side. If they are, it could have positive long-term implications for both my physical and financial health.

All good thoughts deeply appreciated.

The committee meets this Friday!

Art Crawl!!!

And I'm here to ask for "Healthy Heart~ma" or "it really wasn't so bad~ma" for my stress test at 3 pm Central (and my doctor's visit about my labs at 2 pm central.)

Thanks, everyone.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

If I could have some "it's nothing"-ma. I had a small bump on my nose removed and they are performing a biopsy on it, and it would just be so much better if it's nothing.

The good news is that I have no other potential signs for skin cancer, which is amazing considering how light-skinned I am and how much I used to burn as a kid. It doesn't seem to be a thing in our family though (light-skinned or skin cancer), so that may be why.
