We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

They see it as helping me. So I won't be lonely and sad over Xmas. But I wouldn't be! I have surrogates who I could spend it with if I wanted! But really, it's about them feeling helpless and scared and unable to fix this for me.

Whereas I'm just like get'er done, not much alternative. I'm not even worried, just resigned.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

But really, it's about them feeling helpless and scared and unable to fix this for me.

You know they worry and just want the best for you but sometimes bodies do stupid things at inconvenient times and we have to work on their time scales, not our own. While you would love to be with your family, traveling is not in the cards and hosting is stressful. Aren't they the luckiest parents that you have wonderful friends and surrogates so nearby who will take such good care of you?

I KNOW. It's them. Don't hear that. Yet. Hopefully will be moot.

Time for the evening's narcotics. A little behind schedule, but I had to whine to my brother.

Our wings are not tired.

I hope the narcotics are doing their thing today.

I'm here, but work is demanding too much of my attention.

Work is such a bother.

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

Truer words

Good luck, Hec!

Starting the interview~ma now, Sumi.

So, I got myself a couple of Hue bulbs to see if they'd make waking up and getting home in the dark easier. Waking up, yes: getting out of bed, still a challenge.

hip deep in pie

Good news: My dad is home from the hospital.

Bad news: I had a voicemail last night from the company that does repairs for my oil company. The leak indicator has popped on my tank and they need to come and drain the water out. (I have no idea what that means, neither does the person I spoke to at the oil company.) I am going to assume it isn't urgent since they haven't rushed to my house, nor have they returned any of the three phone messages I left them.

I have a cold and this morning in the shower I blew my nose and was instantly hit with such dizziness I would have fallen over if it weren't for the grab bar in my shower. Thanks elderly former owners of my house.

There was lots of other tedium (locked out at work, line-jumping Starbucks customers) today, but hey, I'm going to get some hot soup for lunch.
