The Shattered Prayer

It’s been a while since we heard from Bas. I know that, unlike many of us, he actually does stuff. You know, out there… in reality. He’s been busy with his synths, and I know that’s something he enjoys, so I’m happy for him even if it means we don’t get to see him as often.

It’s 6am and I suppose the best I can hope for is a short nap. I’ve been up several times during the night to administer morphine.

Not to myself, it may surprise you to find.

Mom is no longer afraid of the stuff. I mean, her fear was unfounded and histrionic in the first place, but that’s what the war on drugs does.

That’s what I was thinking about, how perfect the light was, when I was driving to the hospital last night. It was behind me. The sun, not the hospital. It would’ve been kind of stupid of me to drive in the opposite direction of the hospital.

For those of you not on Plurk, who won’t know about this yet, we’re having a writing weekend starting… now.

Okay, starting when Steff wakes up.

I just wanted to take a moment to wish my favorite girl a happy birthday. She’s nine years old today, and for her birthday has had meat, treats, ice-cream, toy mice, scritchins and much much lurvin’.

I just wanted to do a welcome back post for Mojo and R the P. They’ve been on vacation for the past week, and I’ve missed’em.

I hope you guys had a great time and also got a chance to relax. Did you get me a Stuckey’s pecan log?

Most of you know that its been a rough couple of weeks, but other than the whole peri-menopausal thing, you haven’t heard the whole story.
The past couple of weeks has been a stream of doctor’s appointments and tests, and that’s pretty much the outlook for the foreseeable future.

Those of you who’ve actually been around the past week (that would be steff), probably know by now that Plurk has made it possible to customize our profile pages. This is good, because our limited choices of themes were kinda ugly. You can see what I did to my profile in the pic at the bottom of this page.
