Welcome back, bonny! We missed you. That was a very lovely note, and I am wishing you all the best health.
Your story reminded me of Marianne Faithful's excellent biography. She said that she didn't learn trust growing up, or being a pop star or dating Mick Jagger. But when she was a homeless junkie, living on a wall in London for several years she learned that other people could be benevolent and would be kind to her and take care of her.
Sometimes when you are laid low you can find that kindness in the world.
bonny, it is good to see you posting, and I am so glad to hear that you are starting to feel better.
I have no idea how I am going to get up early tomorrow to babysit, but I suppose it should involved going to be soon. Night, Bitches!

Absolutely this.
It isn't that I didn't know the people in my life were good folk, but the incredible depth of their generosity is staggering.
My oldest friend in town...we've drifted into different lives. He has two small kids, etc.
He called, seeming a bit hurt that he had to hear about my struggle from a neighbor. Honestly, it never occurred to me to trouble him.
We talked about how I am uninsured and the hospital bills are going to be rough. Completely unbidden, he said, "Well, I'm going to pay your October rent." Just like that.
People are amazing.
bonny, glad you are getting that side of people in spades.
smonster! I told Joe and Mack about your new job today! I also saw Smitty. Ah, that's a good day.
Also, bonny! Seeing you post and knowing you're making steady progress also makes this a great day.
With all that appreciation, I'm off to get the rest I talked about. Sheesh, I'm double dog tired.
Thanks for the great welcome back, folks. Y'all rock.
bonny!! so glad to see you're on the upswing. You've been in my thoughts a lot these past few weeks.
good to see you bonny, and I'm glad to hear that the universe is taking care of you.
