Ouch, Gelly! Things sound bad there, but you may be better off than some people. Hope things will improve for you. Thank you stardust. Yes, I am better than many people, not complaining. Don't know the future, but who does?

gelly - you and your countrymen & women are in my thoughts. Aww thank you again Jazzrocks!!! Today was the most awful day I can remember for more than 20 years. Today they voted for the EU loan in the parliament and outside were so many people and also to every major city.So many people injured, they were using the subway like a hospital to protect people from the chemicals that were thrown by the police, up to now more than 500 people were injured, a policeman lost his fingers...... :( I can't just can't watch the news any more. Not going to talk politics here neither on twitter. For my own sanity I had to come here. I don't want to start a discussion, just saying once again that I'm really grateful for Atop.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Entering my own personal hell this week. Visiting father's fundamentalist Christian family in NC for 7 days. Why am I doing this? I have a cousin that was just diagnosed with terminal cancer at the age of 39. If I don't go I may not see her again. I traveled every other weekend to my father's growing up. We, my half brother and sister, my full brother and myself were not allowed to listen to rock music. The family was run like the army. My mother's side was less disciplined. So I was always making mistakes and my older full brother, who moved to my father's at 12 was pretty much spanked every day or twice a day until he was 17. When you sinned you had to read the bible or memorize verses. These are not bad people they just unfortunately chose this narrow path to help them simplify life. They became full members of the born-again-christian world and evangalized everywhere they went. Everyone they met had to be saved from hell and damnation, the guy at the tollbooth, the mailman... My stepmother's sister had 8 children named Faith Grace Hope Joy Ethan Josiah Samuel and John. As children my brothers and sisters and I and various church friends were sent to camp where the head specifically told all the children in the packed auditorium that they must never ever masterbate and how deeply sinful masterbation is. So many kids looking at their feet, shamed. I will never forget that day. I'm the northern, liberal, gay-loving, currently jobless, overly willfull artist who doesn't know her place as a woman (i.e. does not naturally gravitate to the kitchen). I feel like I am entering a wolf pack. They have connected to me on facebook and I'm sure they kneel and pray for my soul after each of my postings for equality and marriage for GLBT. I kept thinking that they would unfriend. On top of it all they are the ultimate baby makers. I am single and will not be having children and I am currently feeling very sorry for myself. This is my personal pity party. waaaaaah. OK. Time to be strong... skylar I'm so sorry of what you went through and still going through now. Each one of us has a hard story to tell.I'm glad you are strong and that you follow your own path. Please stay strong and thank you also for thinking of me.

Skylar--hang in there and I'm very sorry to hear about your cousin. And feel free to roll around in the pity a while--it's nice and muddy cool in there sometimes--soothing to the harassed soul. Since you guys were all so sweet with my sickness-saga, I thought I'd update you on Fever Disease From Hell (FDFH). Just got off the phone with my doctor's office. I've been feeling much better, though definitely not 100% yet--still kinda exhausted. They've been doing follow-up bloodwork on me because my liver-values were still off and I was anemic--both logical responses to this kind of illness but they wanted to make sure I was improving. Well, the liver values are improving but they now seem to have determined via blood-test that I have Mono. I don't quite get this new diagnosis. I never had a sore or swollen throat, and those are the biggest symptoms of Mono, along with fever and exhaustion. Also, what was with the pneumonia diagnosis, then, which lead to an antibiotics prescription which definitely seemed to make things much better? (Mono is viral, so antibiotics wouldn't have done a thing there.) All very suspicious. Still, apparently false positives in mono blood tests are possible but fairly rare. I've gotta assume I have it. Which sucks cause it means it'll still be weeks until I'm back to normal and can run around like a normal person, plus now I'm paranoid that the Hubby will come down with FDFH (mono ain't called the "kissing disease" for nothin'.) And, no making out : .GAH! At least they told me over and over again to take it easy, which gives me plenty of excuses to spend my day hanging out here (as I've been doing, you might have noticed!) Things could definitely be worse! But I have writing-related work to do, and increasingly low motivation to do it. (Who'm I kidding? I'm always a lazy schmuck!)
