I'd go with "There are."
You're not gonna jokey-rhyme your way out of this one.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I am home with falafel (currently in ma belleh) and wine (in progress), so that's better.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
BIL called a little while ago. It's definitely active multiple myeloma. Baby brother spent the day having his port inserted, and tomorrow the chemo starts. Bone marrow transplant in the near future.
His doctors (he's at Mt. Sinai in NYC, which has the best long-term survival rates on the East Coast and possibly in the entire US) are hopeful and telling them both not to rule out an actual cure (BIL said, "A cure for an incurable cancer. Can they do that?"), but they are still both gutted. I have to call my mom to check in on how she's doing.

{{{JZ}}} I hope his doctors are right in their hope.
Have interviewed. Tired now. Supposed to have a 5-year goal by tomorrow morning at 10am. I can't begin to imagine what I could say about that and I don't feel like thinking about it.
Falafel and wine sounds excellent. I don't think I have falafel, but I could have something else and wine...

Because books.
Oh, JZ, I'm so sorry. But Mt. Sinai is absolutely the best place he could be.

Oh, shoot, I also have a potluck tomorrow and have not thought of anything to bring. Very unprepared for the coming of Thursday over here.

I am so sorry JZ. I have heard it is a good place to be.

JZ, I'm so glad your brother is at the best place. And right by my old office! Now I wish there was somewhere near me I could get a beef patty with coco bread and cheese.
