Back with hat in hand for more ~ma, as I have a cousin currently undergoing treatment to remove spots of cancer on his liver. He's previously lost much of his sight to a brain tumor, so it'd be nice if life could let him have an easier time of things for a while. (Doctors are optimistic that the cancer hasn't spread beyond the spots they detected, so prognosis looks good.)
The aunt that I posted about last week got released from the hospital today, so all looks good on that front!
Aw, you guys are so nice! I just got the gift cert for me and my mom to get massages! We are excited, and grateful.
I'm putting together a really short leaflet for an action a local group is doing to support the Coalition of Immokalee Workers (CIW), the tomato workers Union, in their campaign to get Wendy's to pay a penny a pound more for tomatoes and demand decent treatment for tomato workers from their suppliers. You can find out more about CIW at [link]
Anyway this leaflet is tough, cause it has to be short, it has to explain about the CIW and it has to ask people to be filmed for a short interview in support of CIW. I have a rough version and could really use some editing to make it shorter and more effective. It is not for me but for a really good cause. My profile addy is good.
Some health~ma would be appreciated for one of my cousins. She is the current matriarch of that side of the family. She had a heart attack less than 2 hours ago and is currently in transport from one hospital down to a hospital in Sacramento. They know she has a blood clot and that is about all the info I have. I'm not normally a praying person, but I'm sending as much ~ma as I can in her direction.
Please put us on the -ma rotation. My mom wants a better job, and I want some life-ma, because I don't know what I need yet.
My dude is goign to be speaking on the radio today. [link] He'll be on between 12:30-12:30pm, PST.
My cousin is improving. They inserted 3 stints and there is talk of her going home tomorrow (I think that is crazycakes). Thanks for the ~ma.
Sorry, didn't see where I was
I'm pretty sure everyone knew this, but I am now officially unemployed.
If I could have some of the patented Buffista -ma around 10:30 AM EST, I'm meeting with the mortgage specialist of my bank and will most likely find out if I'm pre-approved or not.
