The dehumidifiers have done / are doing their job, and I'm attacking the mold in the cellar like a boss (and trying not to die from the bleach/vinegar fumes)! Tossed a lot of stuff, saved some, gotta clean up some other stuff, and dry out and cross my fingers that I can save a bit more. All in all, though, the worst is over and I'm starting to claim my cellar back.
Mold belongs on the crap I leave in the fridge too long. Not in my cellar, dammit.

I'm having my own little anxiety fueled pity party. My birthday is next week which is always a bucketful of depressing, I have three papers due within the next six days, and my boyfriend is out of town until Friday, (not that long I know but still). yep, pool of self pity.

Not doing well at all today. Was up sick most of the night. Not sure if its a wisdom tooth that's giving me trouble or tmj I just know it hurts 
Was nice to have both guys up with me through it all. Its a comfort not to be alone when you are sick. Gonna have to get brave a see a doctor over this. Never like the thought of having that tooth cut out.

Never like the thought of having that tooth cut out. Was at drumheller yesterday. Saw some dinosaur bones.. Dirt and other excellent things. Lots of fun with the family roaming through Alberta.
Its amazing how differently the infrastructure is. Here it is very squared.. Very long very straight roads. In BC.. I don't think we have a sing straight section anywhere that equals highway 2. Heck I don't even think onterrible does..

Sad and worried - woke up to find one of my metamours is suddenly in the hospital and on her way to surgery. Our shared partner has had more people he loves in the hospital facing scary things in the 6 months I've known him than I have in my entire life and I've been overwhelmed trying to figure out how to offer support through this period, and wishing I knew how to do it better. I'm trying to focus on positive thoughts, she's a really lovely person and I know she will be OK.
edit: she wasn't OK... If anybody has any book or website suggestions about how to support friends and partners through grief, I'd appreciate a PM.

Career:New job going well.
Health: nothing major but a longterm set back (probably a few more months before I can ride a bike or go hiking) is annoying the hell out of me.
Relationships: Wife has new energy with new boy friend. GF has roommate issues.
Hobby: In a couple weeks I'll be doing a real comedy set (as opposed to open mics/showcases) for the first time in a few months. Been involved in the art form since '97 but unable to take it seriously. I work in psyche and when you spend your days getting laughs from people you never would have met had they hadn't tried to kill themselves the night before the idea of being judged by bar flies just doesn't mean as much. Still though, it's had its fun moments over the years.

Anne, I sent you a pm. Hugs. I suspect I know who. Terrible blow, sudden and shocking. I will try to get book info for you asap. Please let me know if there is ANYTHING else I can do to help.

I am reeling from the news that one of the internet friends who has most supported me on my journey through hell to where I am today, passed away this morning. It's such a shock. The selfish part of me is whimpering over never being able to hear her reassurance and supportive, bright-eyed positive encouragement. The friend part of me is sitting on my butt in shock wondering how the fuck do you show support for people who have lost their Mommy, their love, their daughter, their friend from SO MANY DAMN MILES AWAY?!
Right there with you LR, wondering very much the same thing.

I wish I could hop a plane and come take care of everyone. I know it doesn't work that way, but damn.

You send them random texts. You post on their facebook walls. You let them know you love them. Exactly as you did with me.
My condolences to the family.

There are so many grieving this one.
Such a vibrant person.
Today was the "goodbye" before they cremated her. I know many are struggling to even wrap their minds around the fact that she is gone still.
