Aug. 9th, 2006 07:08 pmHolly is finally home! She's doing much better but we had a little too much unsolicited adventures today. Full story here.
Some terrible news about Mark Hild. From Richie Eldridge:
Mark is/was a good kid, and he just happened to be a symbol for Fighting Against All Odds for our class. We all knew this grim moment would eventually come, and many expected it to be a whole lot sooner. It still doesn't relieve the horrifying shock or the profound sadness.
When i last saw him, he looked like a CHAMPION. A champion. And a champion he will always, always be.
He didn't lose, he f-ing WON, i say. He just left a little earlier than most.
We are all very, very fortunate to have been in his sphere at the same pinpoint in the history of the universe to have been able to know him, and know what a wonderful, swell guy he was.
To Mark Hild! Godspeed!
"I have some sad news concerning Mark Hild. He has lost his battle with Muscular Dystrophy. He went into Cardiac Arrest on Tuesday and suffered a lot of brain damage. He has very limited production out of his brain stem. Not enough to sustain life. They are going to be taking him off of his ventilator today at 5. His mom Alice is expecting the funeral to be on Monday. The Celebration of Life Service will be held in huber heights, somewhere off of 202. He will be buried in New Carlisle. I will let you know when I hear more. We are trying to let as many people know from our Class as possible."

i know where my REAL priorities lie.
Apr. 7th, 2006 11:00 amif i miss work today, i could lose a job that i hate.
however, Holly has a painful case of pleurisy. it's excruciating, and i don't want to leave her alone, although i'm sure she'll be fine.
we do have bills to pay. but...!

i was out with a sore throat this week and Holly's got pleurisy and severe chest/back pain and maybe a fever too. had to call out sick for her and for myself on behalf of her on Thor's Day.
i know i'll get in trouble for doing that. but i just don't care. i spent all of my loyalty points for that company. i've applied at a few other places; i'm sure to get one or more offers. i just can't keep living at that stupid place and talking to those fluff-headed customers any longer. i swear to fuck, every day i visualize my empty body hanging from the balcony. it's taking too much from me to keep this crap up. i need change. i need a new job, more time to create, and more space to create in. i won't even go into the old "standing by while my sweet old Grandpa dies" bit. i can't even get myself over there to witness it most of the time.
my life is stifling me.
all i want is Holly, and Speck, and a fuckload of cash (that'll take care of the rest of my problems). that's all i want.

FYI: MS info
Dec. 3rd, 2005 11:55 amfor Holly, who recently found out that a dear old friend has MS:

The life expectancy of people with MS is now nearly the same as that of unaffected people.The earlier in life MS occurs, the slower disability progresses... Those diagnosed before age 35 have the best prognosis. Females generally have a better prognosis than males.
