Hope something helps soon, msbelle. And some of my relatives were here, first... I have more of a claim than the Joker-people.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
All my good thoughts and prayers to you and Mac, msbelle. I wish I were there.

I'm so sorry, msbelle.
Maybe it's just because I live in DC, but wealthy does not always equal white around here.
Maybe I just notice it more in NC. But the middle-class neighborhoods I've lived in seemed to have people from a variety of races and ethnic groups, while the further up the fiscal ladder you go, the more homogeneous the neighborhoods seem to get.

Damn. One of my best friends' father died this morning. Not entirely unexpected - he'd been in the hospital two months ago with a grim prognosis, but once he'd gotten out of the hospital he'd started on a real turnaround. Unfortunately, he had a rapid decline the last couple of days and passed away today.
It's always sudden.

Oh my msbelle. Scary and hard, and possibly exactly the right place to be right now. I hope it opens doors.
eta: I say this because I've been on the sidelines to something like this before, and even though it is not fun admitting a kid in these circs, it really was a necessary and ultimately very helpful step.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I may have caught con crud, since I feel sad and pathetic. I went out to get lunch, but now I'm still hungry. I don't want to go out again, nor do I want to actually make any food. Woe.
