Well our Mother's Day ended with my mother falling in the parking lot of the ice cream shop. I don't think she broke anything, but she scraped up her knee pretty badly.
Ugh, I'm sorry. When my dad and grandma would fall it was horrifying.
Another person I know here in New Orleans was shot today. I am not doing so good.
(((Nora))) I'm sorry. I was thinking of you when I saw the news. Was it at the parade?
Yeah, the second line. uggghhh.
((((Nora)))) I hope all the NOLA peeps check in.
looks like smonster posted to facebook about an hour ago.
Nora, I saw that. FFS. If you do get involved organizing a benefit, let me know.
In tangentially related news, I am thinking about mentoring a kid; there are some programs locally. Not sure I'm ready for that responsibility, but it seems one of the best ways to make some small difference.
Oh hi, yeah I'm fine. Xpost. I was still asleep at the time of the shooting, honestly.
My mother wants to meet in New York for my birthday. She's making a big deal about celebrating my birthday (she basically ignored my last birthday, except wanting to know the next time that I was going to be in DC so she could take me out) I don't know why I should make an effort for something that's supposedly for me. Of course, she says we don't have to do it if I don't want to, but the repercussions are a pain. The crap of "I tried to do something nice for you . . ."
