Kids bleeding suck. Even worse is...they do. Nothing like calling another mom to tell her your charge has beaned her son to explain the bloody tshirt.
Stupid lack of good backup generators! Vent to me, or here , if you need, Kat. I'm up for another hour or so.
My dad's site (not internet, we're talking up in the mountain boonies installation) has double backup generators that they test every month. Of course, the one time there was a genuine power failure (fires)... the diesel tank was mistakenly not refilled. When you have a multimillion dollar, multi-ton piece of equipment that relies on it? SO BAD. They were freaking lucky it was a cloudy night and the multi-ton thing wasn't swinging.
I'm such a sucker, I'm being charmed by Shaq.
OK, this is totally random. But it just hit me what a HUGE leap of faith it was for a dad to entrust with me his daughter, based totally on seeing me read a lot on my balcony. I mean, this will be a year that's she's been coming over for schoolish stuff. He doesn't know me from Eve, just...they can see my apartment from theirs.
That's huge. I don't know what I did to deserve this trust, other than not throwing wild parties.
I'm so lucky.
sara, will you come and live with us and take care of Grace and Noah?
Oh god, I wish. God, I wish. (this is me wishing for the one thing I do think I'm good at BUT) But I'm a terrible bitch and I've got this fucked up thing about conservative financial stability and independence that's a pain in the ass and conflicts with my better instincts. We need to find me a sugardaddy/mommy/thing and I'm there.
eta: I mean, I'm looking up infant cpr classes in the area while I'm not on vacation cause I haven't had one since I was 13. C'mon.
Kat, I hope things get better. Having no ranty place sucks.
::kicks LJ::
My life is so boring I'm now trying to update all my Outlook contacts so I can synch up my phone.
Good thing tomorrow is New Comics and Pie Day.
OK, so now I'm laughing at myself. Thank goodness lj is down for ME. I'd post f-locked stupid stuff. Better I don't.
Things are going to get much much much worse in the very near future for the very long term.
It sucks.
I wish I could help more.
Hugs to you and all, Kat. I do have faith that you'll be able to negotiate/navigate troubles with more resourcefulness and resilience than most people... but that doesn't make it feel any easier, I'm sure.
