I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

This game has gotten really good, at least for the not very invested viewer

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Oh Sophia! I'm so glad you went to the hospital. Hang in there. Keep us posted.

I have had to restart my laptop to install updates every day for the last two weeks, and today a half hour or so after I restarted I get another notice that I need to reboot. Is this normal? It shouldn't be, right?

Not really asking to get an answer, just wanting validation for my irritation.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Oh, Sophia! I hope treatment progress is well underway today.

Aaagh. I woke up at 315 and then couldn’t really fall back asleep. At like 430 I gave up and read for an hour and then tried to lay back down but no luck. Yesterday I had the day off and that would’ve been fine but I have to work today. Gross.

Ugh, meara. I hate when that happens.
