Sweet fancy fucking Moses. There was just a shooting at the park while I was two blocks away walking Frankie. Word is kid is alive, shot multiple times in the legs. I just don't even know.
Yeah, I was at home, but didn't even know about it till I left to go back to work and saw a lot of people out at that intersection.
The whole situation is just incredibly, painfully, tragically ugly it's starting to make me shut down completely. There's just TOO MUCH. Too many kids being shot. Too many people getting murdered. Everywhere.
And then the whole C. being missing thing, and MCA dying, and stress about the house and finances, and people I love being sick, and seeing a dog get clipped by a car on the street...
Are there buffista-approved Vegas hotels? Which ones?

I would *NOT* recommend the Las Vegas Hilton. Although on a monorail stop, I thought it was a bit on the dumpy side, for the price. I stayed at far nicer for half the price along Route 66. Granted, that's not Vegas.
If it doesn't bother you, a friend got a real sweet deal at the Hooters Hotel. Apparently, while "manly" decor, it was tasteful. I can't say, as I wasn't there. But it's pretty new, and the rates were cheap. But that might have been a seasonal thing.
I stayed at the Excalibur years ago. Eh. It was ok. HUGE. Easy to get lost in. I like Paris casino/lobby. But haven't stayed there.
Aside from that, I'm sure there are other folk who have traveled there more, and will have better opinions.
I'm sorry about the shootings and missing woman and other bad things happening. I hope it doesn't overwrite all the good things you love about NOLA too much.

The love is huge, and the pain is mighty.

This.

And this. It's so insanely complicated.
I set a timer for a 20-minute nap, and slept right through it. Just woke up. Haven't put together package, and the post offices here are... not great. But apparently open on Satudays! So that's a little breathing space, but I still need to get the package ready to go and figure out if I'm going to pass out flyers and eat something and...
I think your body took what it needed of you. Sounds like life in the Big Easy is a bit taxing right now. Best to let the body sleep when it asks for it, and let your mind heal it self for a little while. It might not make the world outside your home better, but it will help make it tollerable once again. Mom will understand if the package is late. She is not 5 anymore. Take a second to breathe. Relax. Meditate. And when you are ready, face the world again.
In the meantime, tons of {{{{{ }}}}} for everyone.
The police found her! She's alive and okay. THANK GOD.
