I'm so sorry to hear all the bad pet news! I will give my fuzzies extra love & kisses tonight.
Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Hilariously (given my current single state), I already figure I'll want a custom made wedding dress, exactly for the sleeves issue!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I just got bad news.
My best man has polycystic kidney disease (PKD).
Both of his kidneys are failing and he'll need a transplant or dialysis.
He's been my best friend since we were 15.

Damn, David, I'm sorry to hear that.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Crap, Hec. I'm officially calling for a do-over on today.

I'm sorry, Hec.
This day has had way too much shitty news in it.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Yeah, it's not good.
It's not a death sentence but it's pretty fucking serious if he doesn't get a donor.
And the success of transplants goes down after you switch to dialysis.
He's lost a lot of weight already, and it's supposed to be pretty painful (according to wikipedia).
Grrrrr. First my friend Karen's breast cancer, and now this. They're both my age.

I'm so sorry about your friend David. I hope there's a kidney out there for him.
I'm so sorry to hear about Bear.
Pico is home, but he is one pissed off cat who is avoiding me.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Jesus, David, I'm so sorry. Our friend/landlady/neighbor's boyfriend has a transplant and dialysis.
What a sucktastic day.

We might need a quick Good News Audit:
Let's see...I got a bonus check today and they determined that they had miscalculated when to give me my bonus check, so they will owe me another one in about three weeks (of temp work) instead of another six months.
Also, Oxford American contacted me about possibly doing another story for their music issue.
Also, tomorrow's my last day at the umbrella farm.
Anybody else?
