Maria, I'm sorry. That's just awful.
Mal: So we run. Nandi: I understand, Captain Reynolds. You have your people to think of, same as me. And this ain't your fight. Mal: Don't believe you do understand, Nandi. I said 'we run'. We.

ltc had her tongue tie clipped today and they seem to have replaced my good sleeper with a baby that will not sleep at all and won't stop eating.

I'm so sorry, Maria.
I am awake. It's still darkish out. I do not like this. (I'm waking up a bit earlier each day, so that I'll be ready for next week -- I'm teaching at 8 AM three days a week this semester.)

Epic, I'm so sorry and I wish you the best navigating these stressful waters over the next few weeks. I wish your family was more support to you.
Sail, bureaucracy ~ma to you and your son.
Maria, I'm so sorry. That's just awful.

Our wings are not tired.
Oh Sail, what a frustrating and painful mess. May a helpful resolution be found soon.
{{Maria and all}}
{{ltc and parents}} Eating is good and sleeping will happen too.
Mom's birthday was yesterday. Lots of family and friends and activity. All good.

Sail, definitely get a lawyer or an advocacy group involved. You won't get anywhere without them.
Epic, I'm so sorry about everything.
Laura, that sounds like a very good day.
ltc is sleeping soundly this morning. She wore herself and me out last night. I finally sent TCG to get some sleep on the couch so one of us would be semi-functional today.

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
Thank you, everyone. There's so much socio-economic, racial, and ethnic bullshit tied up in his death. I have to avoid the comments on the online articles.
Epic, good thoughts and prayers are headed your way. I hope you can find a little grace to get through the next bit.
Sail, what everyone else said. He needs an advocate on the ground there.

I've googled for advocacy groups in Phoenix, but haven't found one yet that I think is workable. One of the more prominent ones that came up also came with a ton of bad reviews. It's going to be tough to sort the wheat from the chaff long distance.

Ow. My plan was to get to bed by ten tonight. My shoulder has other ideas.

So, I've got a lot of class prep stuff to do today. Of course, my shoulder is still hurting like hell, and I've barely got use of my right arm.
