That does sound hard, Burrell. I hope the chemo does what it is supposed to.
I think what my daughter's trying to say is: nyah nyah nyah nyah.

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

Poor, thing. I'm sorry Burrell. Nobody needs to be suppurating!

Oh Burrell, your poor older sister.
And Jesse! ACK. I'm sorry about your dad and, I agree, 2013 has seriously sucked for you. But you are amazingly resilient about the whole thing.
Today's been an interesting and mostly boring day. It's been extremely humid for LA and hot so the AC has been running. It's humid enough that there's a ton of condensation coming off the unit.
I think tomorrow's big plan is to take Noah to swim lessons and then find something to do during the witching hour.

Oh Burrell. That's so hard, for her and for you. Fingers crossed the treatments help some.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Moving forward with treatment is a good sign in all this. Usually they don't treat in the context of open wounds. And they wouldn't treat if they thought she was too frail.
Another good sign is she's sleeping in her own apartment tonight. It'll be a lot easier for me if she is in her own place.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Oh Burrell!
Wha? Eek!
Theo's reaction was mine, but thanks for explaining Jesse.

Wishes for the best outcomes, all around, to everyone. I just caught up on a whole lot of posts, so I've sent out a lot of positive vibes out to the Universe. Jesse & parents, Burrell & sister, ita !... see, I shouldn't try to list when I'm catching up on so much.
Also,

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh wow, Burrell. That sounds hard. I'm glad things are seeming as positive as they could.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Brenda, that's a scary-looking picture you posted on Facebook. I hope everything's OK.

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.
Burrell, lots of ~ma for your sister that the treatent will do what it is supposed to do while harming the rest of her as little as possible.
