I'm hoping he doesn't mean to be that ominous?
Welp, that's my first 8 hours working since being out sick for a week. I am exhausted, but more emotionally than physically, I think. I might need to order takeout from somewhere that has cocktails...

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
so then she can move about and donate her antibodies
This is a wonderful thing.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
This is a wonderful thing.
I don't know if I actually can, though--the whole thing is purely guesswork at this point, a thing that they think might work based on other things that have worked in the past for different conditions. I still want to do it, but there's no guarantee it'll help for this, and so far my doctor isn't responding to any query about it at all.
My dad's lawyer just found his advance directive and one of my brothers forwarded it to us. I didn't think it would be as hard to read as it was, but it is. And it's very clear. And there's my name, in all-caps, throughout all half-dozen pages as the designated decision-making agent. Really it will be all three of us together, but officially it will be me.
I already felt pretty convinced that this whole mortality business was bullshit, but now even more so. This is bullshit.

It is the rankest, lousiest, shittiest bullshit. I am so sorry.

So astoundingly true. I'm sorry.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I can see why you were picked, jz, due to your combination of intelligence, powerful common sense and loving heart, but it has to be so hard on you.
ION, it looks like the DH has been laid off. They have told him he's furloughed and no new content is to be assigned, paid for or to go up on the site he edits for two weeks. Maaaaaaaybe they're thinking about starting the site back up in two weeks, but neither of us think that's likely. Why they just didn't shut the whole thing down now, instead of the two weeks thing, who knows.

The status is NOT quo.

Scrappy is, as always, wise.
Also, so sorry to hear your DH has joined the unemployed ranks, Scrappy. Lots of that going around right now.
