Sweet journey to my baby, Mickey, today. I had to put him to sleep this afternoon. I miss him like crazy and it hurts more than I thought. I feel like I can barely breathe.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Hi! So the cat's out of the bag a little already, but I wanted to share that M & I got married yesterday, with Lee officiating.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
Briefly - My health insurer (KPS) is shutting down all individual plans. To get new health insurance I have pass a standard health questionaire that screens out people with existing conditions. No way I could pass that. There are exemptions from this, but plan termination is not one. KPS has just made lot of people uninsurable To solve this, the ledge has unanimously passed a law adding termination of an insurance plan as reason to be exempt from the questionaire. Now up to our Governor.
If you are in Washington State, please Call or Fax Governor Christine Gregoire
Phone: 360-902-4111 | FAX: 360-753-4110
Ask her (very very politely) to please sign SB6412 which adds
termination of an individual insurance plan to the reasons someone
seeking health insurance can be exempt from the standard health
insurance questionaire.
Given that it passed both houses of the legislature unanimously she will probably sign it, but you never know for sure with politicians and a wave of phone calls saying "sign. sign. sign" won't hurt, and might make sure no last minute changes of mind occur. I just learned of it when I called the State health insurance commissioner's office this morning.
And we need health care for everyone, not just those lucky enough to be able access private insurance. Single Payer now! But in the meantime, keeping a bunch of people from losing what health insurance they have is worthwhile.

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
And in just-when-I-think-it-can't-get-worse-but-then-does news, may I please have some biopsy~ma? Dermatologist found an atypical mole today and performed a shave biopsy to make sure it's not cancerous. She's not overly concerned but good luck has been non-existent for me lately, so I'm worried. Results should be back in 7-10 days.
I am not telling family until I know something definitive. They can't take much more.

Today marks 10 years since my mom died. It's kind of staggering to think about - so long, and yet still so present. I don't need hugs, but warm thoughts are more than welcome.
I look back on that time and one thing stands out: I genuinely do not know how I would have made it through without this place and all of you who gave me so much support, comfort and room to feel.
Like Maria said, one of the best things I ever did was stumble upon this place. I can't express how much you all mean to me, and I'm profoundly grateful.
