The foster dog I am to get is in Lafayette, LA and the org is trying to get it transported here, but has no volunteers there. I can drive out 2-3 hours to meet them, but that is at most half way. If anyone knows someone nearish to Lafayette that would be willing to drive a dog to Shreveport or Tyler, or over to Houston, we could get to there. Or if we know more than one person that we could pass the dog along the route. Let me know, please.

All is well that ends in pizza.
My 91-year-old mom is in the hospital with a broken wrist and a cracked pelvis. Any ~ma you can spare would be appreciated.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
So I cracked a joke this morning about the cold weather almost killing me....and now I've been in the hospital/ER for most of the day with something they thought might be heart related but is starting to look more like really severe anemia. Which is a good direction but still undetermined. It's nothing ~ma appreciated.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Asking for spare ~ma and such for my mom, who will be starting chemo soon for cancer: the return, this time it's skeletal. Her doctor still thinks she'll make it to 90 (she's 82), but it's been a shitty health time on the parental front for a few months and I'm a walking frayed nerve at the moment.

My father died in November. -ma would be appreciated as I attempt to tie up his affairs and figure out what the hell comes next in my life. I don't know if any Buffistas other than vw ever met him, but here's the obituary for anyone curious about someone they never met and now never will: [link]

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Our precious Sammie cat just had a seizure and died.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
Anyone able to give me some grown up financial advice. I need more than short term help, I need a plan. Profile email is good.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Got the call this afternoon and I am officially an employee of Plymouth-Canton Schools! I will continue working in the ASD center at the local middle school, with kids from 12 - 15. It's challenging work, as most of the students are not verbal and some have issues like trying to walk out of the classroom or various types of shouting, etc, but it's really satisfying, too. I'm really happy about this.

As of yesterday, my mother is back home after convalescing from her broken wrist and pelvis.
Thank you all for the ~ma and well wishes.

Our wings are not tired
This is a rough thing to have to put in writing, but my business is in a bad spot due to expanding last year, and then hitting an epically slow first quarter this year. Unfortunately I'm already stretched to my limit and we cleaned out all of our savings last year in order to buy our house. It's a perfect situation that has me in a position where I could lose the company I've had for more than a decade now. If anyone is in a financial position where they think they might be able to help out I'd be very thankful to hear from you. The business has contracts coming in starting next month, and we have the normal strong business moving forward, and some amazing new clients that have been added, but right now I can't get through the near term.
So there it is. My little company is in a rough financial position. If you might be able to help send me a note on my profile address. Thanks.
