I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

It's already 86 here, and not even 9 AM. I'm getting cabin fever, and wondering where I went wrong in life not to have central AC....

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Thinking good thoughts for Burrell's sister.

Why is it contractors and various other services either call my house phone when I am at work, call my work phone when I am theoretically at home or decide to call my cell when I've explicitly told them to use one of the other two numbers due to impossible reception?

Never.ever.fails.

Luckily, I didn't NEED to be at home for this estimate, so I was at work when they called.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Tons of all kinds of ~ma to your sister and her medical team, Burrell, and lots of calm and coping and non-worry~ma to you.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

All kinds of ~ma for you and your sister, Burrell.

Mortgage preapproval~ma to you, Frank.

Ugh, I feel like crap. Is is still possible to be affected by allergies? The alternative of a summer cold five days before my interview is scaring me.

My allergies are kicking my ass, so yes...

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

~ma for your sister, Burrell.
