Burrell, it sounds like a bunch of mis-communication and unvoiced expectations. She and her dad have never had a warm fuzzy relationship. Plus she hasn't lived with him as an adult before. So he has been treating her like a 14 year old. When I ask KCD and B I get "it can't be fixed" and "I'm tired of her issues".

We all have issues. That is life. I can't imagine which of her issues became so unbearable. When she left D and moved in with KCD, we had all talked about wanting to support her and give her a chance to get through school, refind herself, rebuild her life, and all that.

I don't even know.

Suzi, is there any way you can move back into a 3 bedroom? Is K getting her masters in PT? It's great that she's back in school, and one day it will all be a distant memory. As I hope that horrible physical pain is for you.

I post so rarely these days, but I do read every word y'all post. And I care. A lot. Sorry I am so absent.

That interview is totally fun. And you are TOO somebody!

OMG, I wish people would get back to me and/or I would be more motivated around my other work, because I don't wanna.

Oy. There's something to be said for working on issues when they are with your family who you love, you know? I mean, I'm not saying you have to love your family, but if you do, a relationship between adults is a thing that is possible!

Right? I can see booting a boarder for issues, but family should have more allowance.

Not for a year - just signed my lease. Maybe they would let me break it to move into a larger apartment here - but I can't afford the remodeled 3 bedrooms.

Is K getting her masters in PT?

It is actually an associates to get certified as a Physical Therapist Assistant. Seems backwards, but she can't touch a patient without this even though she has her undergrad degree. She is actually doing clinicals this month - today ends week 3. She is at a geriatric rehabilitation in patient facility.

I hope so. I called my doc today since the pain hasn't decreased by much and now I have a referral to an ENT. Just waiting for the office to call with the info so I can set-up an appointment. Oh joy, oh rapture.

Ugh, that's a lot of stuff, Suzi. Getting through it ~ma, if that will help.

The more I think about it, shouldn't the next step be a neurologist not an ENT? I feel odd second guessing my doc, who I adore. But I don't want to get bounced around either.

Suzi, I would think a neurologist would be more appropriate than an ENT, unless it's an ENT with a track record of successfully treating trigeminal neuralgia.

I agree, although I don't know a lot about TN.

We had a hoot! And JAR just agreed to do some form of one too, so when I say I'm nobody, they might be confused.

Hey! It's LA! Famous people gotta know people, right? And not all of them can be famous.

And John Rogers has agreed to do not the email version, but an interactive one. I haven't seen him in forever mainly because we keep trying to set up dinner or drinks with Colin, and their schedules never mesh.

I'm really glad I decided on this project, and as long as it doesn't interfere with the job search (or job!) (I should be so lucky), I'm gonna put myself out there and try and network the shit out of getting new subjects from all different angles.

In fact, I'm going to approach a prolific fanartist with her own fandom today, I have decided.

I am also accepting submissions for questions and angles and people/roles in fandom to ask about, for anyone here who's interested. I will keep post updates to Beep Me or the other one (hey, I rarely use them, I forget which is which).
