I'm so sorry, Kate
Best of luck with treatment, ita and sister of Burrell
I just wanted to pop in with the minor triumph that my (handwritten today specific) to do list is half crossed off. That hasn't happened in quite a while!
Early: So is it still her room when it's empty? Does the room, the thing, have purpose? Or do we -- what's the word? Simon: I really can't help you. Early: The plan is to take your sister. Get the reward, which is substantial. 'Imbue.' That's the word.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I got all my non-work to-dos that were marked today done! I brought in (old) coffee for one co-worker, Firefly DVDs for another, was ready to return a loaned hard drive to another.
Why can't I get into the habit of prepping the night before more often? I just grabbed the bag and left today, and didn't even remember what I'd done until I got into the office.
Okay, onto the ickier stuff like insurance reimbursements, ebill paying, and oh, more WORK.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I just watched a movie for work, which is all well and good, except it was kind of depressing AND I'm supposed to summarize it, which is a thing that turns out to be not in my skill set. I can do three sentences or ten pages, but not one page! Hmmm.

As I suspected, the doctors are recommending no more treatments for my sister, just focus on QOL. Other sister and I are trying to figure out what that might look like, where she'd stay, etc. I doubt she's thought about where to go next.
Also it's raining and I have no coat and will get soaked on my way to class this afternoon.
Today sucks.

I'm so sorry, Kate.
Burrell, how scary and upsetting. I hope today gets better for you in some way.
ita_!, I hope the letter helps.
In news of things that are amusing to me: the letter in the GCS update I posted is an amazing example of overwrought teen fiction. All of my beta readers were highly skeptical of it. But it prompted a post, so that's good.

I'm sorry, Burrell. That's gotta be tough.

Because books.
I'm so sorry, Burrell. Wishing you all strength.

Oh, man, Burrell. I know it's a long shot, but if there is anything my limited capacities can help with, I would like to.
My friends are under too much right now. Do not like.
Thanks, Jilli.
Amy--when you get the package can you tell me if I wrote my name on it? I usually don't, but the mail room knew it was mine, so I want to know if they're psychic or not.

Burrell,

Thanks everyone. As others have said before me when they were going through shit, just having a place where I can talk about it helps.
