Where We Are Now
Earlier this evening I was talking on the phone to my dad who wants me to sue a giant pharmaceutical corporation for him because he is in a Medicare Circle of Hell. I’ve been on the phone for literally hours over the past few days trying to solve this insoluble problem.
I was just falling asleep at midnight when my daughter leapt out of my bed and said, “I need the bathroom,” and then threw up all over the bedroom rug.
I got her out of her clothes and into the bath (long hair) and the phone rang.
A death in the family.
Couldn’t sleep after that; had to get the carpet out from under the (heavy) king-sized bed and clean up the vomit and the kid and talk about the death in the family.
So to relax, I logged onto Xanga.
Where I found this.
Okay.

The news was more electrifying than the power outage I had yesterday. It is like the dogs running away before an earthquake. It is like rats leaving a sinking ship, it is like ants coming into the kitchen before a storm…..
I am sure the cliche “This too shall pass” is not enough. Time for me to spend my eprops…..
*hugs*
Puke and long hair, I can totally understand that.
Also I’m sorry about your loss. My condolences. There was a time when it felt like the house phone was constantly ringing late at night and it was someone calling from mexico to tell us someone had died. I feared the phone ringing.
and yeah it really sucks. I love it here. :-/
that about freaking sums it up. sorry for your loss and the puking.
I would never have known without your link. I am sad now.
Sorry for your loss. And the puke. And for all of us….Sigh.
I am sorry for your loss. I hope your daughter feels well, soon. Thank you for sharing the Xanga news.
huh. interesting.
What a terrible night! I’m sorry for your family’s loss. I hope you get some rest as soon as possible.
hmmm. and I just thought of something else about xanga closing.
Holy cow, that’s a lot all at once. Seems to happen that way sometimes. If xanga really goes away, I’ll miss reading your blogs. Hope all your sick people feel better soon.
Life will never be the same. I came to Xanga for my kids, and have stayed on long after they left. Lots of good friends here. Many of them I now see on Facebook, but not all.
I remember dealing with barf and bloody noses. Deaths in the family are hard to take. Blessings to you all.
