Birth, death, illness, new job, vacation...if it's happening to you and you want us to know about it, post it here. These threads are intended for announcements only. Want to offer sympathy or congratulations, or talk about anything? Take it to Natter. Any natter here will be deleted.
OK. Need BIG TIME positive vibes.
There has been a major development with the magazine I've been working to launch.
Tomorrow I have to talk to someone who may be able to launch it.
That's all I can say. But if anyone's got any vibes, I can definitely use 'em.
My grandma is very ill. We are going to L.A. to visit her tomorrow because I think waiting until Friday will be too late. She is dying of kidney failure and will likely go into a coma soon. I am grateful that I get a chance to say goodbye. Thoughts and prayers are appreciated. And the support and everything I already have from you has been wonderful. Thank you...
Enters quietly and puts the jobma back where it belongs, fully recharged and...effulgent.
I got the job. I start Monday.
Thanks for the Ma.
Do NOT read the Harry Potter article in The Onion if you wish to remain spoiler pure.
(If this isn't apocalyptic, I don't know what is.)
(Actually, it's a joke. The article contains no actual spoilers.)
Any Buffista prayers, kind thoughts, or wishes for a good time in the Summerland and a better Turn of the Wheel next time would be welcome today: a friend of DH's and mine, Trevor, was found dead on Monday from an overdose of antidepressants.
Not at my most coherent today; sorry.
My DH didn't get to the second round of interviews. Here's to better luck with the jobma next time. EDIT: And thanks for what you sent. It was his best news in a year or so, and I think you guys helped.
Here is the culmination of all the stress-producing crap I've been dealing with for the past week: Next week, after 4th of July (also my parents' and my sister's anniversaries) and my big family shower, my mother is going to be moved into a nursing home. It's been a tough decision to reach and it's all pretty overwhelming.
Er...Hi! I'm back from South Korea!
However, I'm (as to be expected after ten days) thousands upon thousands of messages behind. And I'm not sure when I'll catch up (or, more likely, skip ahead). But I'll be out there, lurkishly, somehow, somewhere, for the next while...
I'll be dark from tomorrow morning through the end of next week as DH and I go on our great Oregon and California road trip, featuring several national parks, family, and foamy Buffistas.
