A little heart-ma for my dad please. My Dad had 'sode tonight and went to the ER. It turns out to be Atrial fibrillation, and they did have to shock his heart back to a normal rhythm. They're keeping him in the hospital for 24 hours for observation. He's 82, and has a history with his heart, so it's always worrying.
I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

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

Punishingly Intricate
Hi everybody! I am once again riding my bike 140 miles over a weekend this May to raise money for Moveable Feast of Maryland. Moveable Feast provides meals and nutritional support (and MANY other services) to people living with HIV/AIDs and breast cancer.
This year my fundraising goal is $1300 which will feed one Moveable Feast client for a year. Please help me reach that goal if you are able.
Buffistas have been super generous in the past! No surprise! Thank you all.

Thrive to spite them
It's truly official. I'm moving to Vermont mid-end of April. I've given notice at work, I've got an apartment. I'm going to be in the same state the man I love is in. I can't wait

“Not dead yet!”
Requesting some ~ma for my new book submission. It's out with six publishers right now and I'm really, REALLY hoping someone loves it. Like, a LOT.

“Not dead yet!”
FiL update: After exactly three weeks in the hospital, Dad was released today and better still, rather than being sent to a rehab facility, as had been previously considered, he was sent straight home! He's still going to have a few weeks and maybe even months before he's back to full strength, but of all possible outcomes, this was absolutely the best one!
Thanks so much for the ~ma, y'all. Much, much appreciated!

My friend T (who I posted about before, with her baby being born with CHD and having get stay in the NICU till he has open-heart surgery in 6 weeks) is being born today via C-section.
-ma, please, for Levi and family, that everything goes well, and that he won't present any of the other numerous complications they won't know about until after he's out.
Thanks!

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
