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.
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.
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.
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?
IIRC from my own bridal days, brides are clamoring for sleeves but they're damnably hard to find. It's fairly infuriating.
My BFF had to have the bridal store put sleeves on her dress. They did a beautiful sheer sleeve, and replicated the dress' embroidery on the wrist. It was really nice.
I did get my tax refund on Tuesday.
