Thanks, everyone. I had a wonderful Thai lunch with vw, who continues to be an amazing person, and then I apparently need a very long nap. Luckily, we still have enough leftover from Sunday that only reheating is required for dinner.
You want to meet the real me now?

sj, I'm sorry to hear the sad news, but am also very glad you had the support of vw to see you through the day. Much love to you and TCG.

Oh, sj, I am so sorry. Please let me know if I can do anything.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I'm so glad you had vw and comfort food, and that you and TCG have each other. All my love to both of you.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
Had my routine needle in the eye to improve my vision today. The good news: this round was side effect free. Bad news: slightly worse than last month and long term trend does not seem to be improving. Given how well I've controlled my blood sugar, it is kind of discouraging. I know treating retinopathy can take a long time to stabilize, but it has been well over a year. To tell the truth I'm freaking out a bit. I think part of the problem is though this doctor is highly skilled his English really is not good enough to tell me how this compares to other cases and what the long term prognosis is.

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.
That does sound worrisome, Typo. ETA By which I mean I would find it hard not to worry, if I were in your shoes, not that I have specific knowledge that you have something to worry about. A vague worry is no one's friend.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Yesterday, in literally an hour and a half, I found out that my unemployment is exhausted (calculated that wrong by three weeks), I still owe the IRS a little cash (thought my return was covering that entire debt) and my landlord is saying he doesn't have my entire deposit (he does, and I can prove it, but SHEESH, I need this?)
Today I woke up with a good chunk of my ceiling on my floor. This makes moving slightly less painful. Did I mention that I have to move and do not wish to? (short version: landlord making lease holder give up lease, won't put me on it)
This is why I have not much been around. I'm reading and you're all in my thoughts... but contributing to painful discussions on the fly seems crass so I have, well, not.
I'll be ok. I know I will. I have friends to stay with until I secure a new apartment. I have a little IRA I can withdraw from (at a 10% hit. ouch). And I have a metric shit ton of packing to do. Oh joy. Until later! x0x0x0x0

{{{Trudy}}} Moving is stressful enough without all that extra craziness. I hope today is better.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Geez, what a load of stress all at once, Trudy. I hope you find a great new place soon and all the money stuff works out in your favor!
