Kat,

are you okay?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh, Kat, I'm so sorry that you've been going through such a rough time.

Does anyone here watch Girls? I caved, because it's right *there*, and it strikes me as not too early to describe it as "isn't it hip and ironic that we're all so unpleasant, and can finally watch ourselves be unpleasant on TV?"

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I'm sorry Kat. I wish you could kick back and get mothered for a while.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Do you ever go to a site and it just takes forever to load and you can see it's got nine layers of adsense widgets crawling all over it and just say, "Fuck it! It's crawling with widgets!" and bail?

Anyway, I'm glad we're widgetless.

I am okay. Just overwhelmed and uncertain. I don't know where we will be living come July 1st. I handle change just fine, but uncertainty? Not so much.

Uncertainty is super hard.

I think losing our nurse pushed my coping abilities past the point of coping into not coping.

I also spent $100 on shoes today. But not for me, but for my growing children. Sigh. And we set off rockets at the science center in Santa Ana which was amazingly fun.

Also, I'm almost at the weight I was before I got pregnant and yesterday I was less than my driver's license said I was. So that's interesting.

Uncertainty with two kids is the worst.

If it were just me, I could figure out something. But it's me, my partner and our two kids.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I would rather have daily change than any uncertainty. Uncertainty shuts me down so very fast and then I can not function. I am so sorry you are having to deal with it right now.

Also, can you please tell K that I got my thank you notes and I loved them!! Also, you guys were the total inspiration to introduce Donors Choose to my school and lots of teachers are using it now!

Oh, I'm so glad! Donors Choose is wonderful! I have a DC-grant for paper for next year because we don't have a line item for paper [link] which is odd. It's like.... hmmm, I need to pole dance for...um...paper? Sad and aggravating and perhaps adding to my stress level.
