1. I am definitely having a miscarriage. No question, no doubt.
2. Yesterday, someone threatened [personal profile] danceboy on the T, with bonus highly credible "and I know where you live" detail to make it extra alarming.
3. My youngest niece has been hospitalized with pneumonia.

I don't so much feel like this week is fired, as I feel like going after this week with an axe. It is a bad week. It is hurting us.

I hear that we have a new president, and that he gave a speech that makes the people in my house who listened to the radio today think of Josiah Bartlett. If this week was not the week when all my family's troubles hit at once, I would probably be pretty interested in that.

That all sucks mightily. I hope the second turns out to be nothing and the third is solved in a few days via the wonders of modern medicine. And I'm terribly sorry that there's no help for the first :(

*hugs*

I'm so sorry about the miscarriage. I hope it passes soon, without too much emotional or physical pain, and then becomes only a distant memory.

It's Aretha Franklin's hat you will regret missing most. Made the sweet baby Jesus cry, it did. He cried from sheer desire. So did I.

I saw a picture just a few minutes ago. That hat transcends the usual station of hats. Aretha looks honored, and a little awed, that it settled on her head.

I want to wear it to sleep. I want to wear it to jail. I want to be the pretty pretty princes with the giant grey bow. In short, I *covet*.

Previous offers of help and hugs still stand. Please take care of yourself, and let me know if I can do anything.

What a crappy week. Hopefully all the bad news is over for the year and everything else will be at least decent, maybe even exceptional.

Crap. I am so very, very sorry.

And, um, if you want to stop reading my journal for a while I will so understand.

I thought about it, but if I cut myself off from all news about babies right now, I will not be able to talk to way too many people. I seem to be doing okay with hearing it, and if I missed news of Niblet's first appearance (or various other good things that friends are expecting or hoping for), I think I would be even less happy than I already am.

I am so sorry. I truly was hoping against hope the news would be different.

I am beyond flabbergasted at the threat to D, and worried yet entirely sure that DangerLad! will be fine.

oh.
gods.

i can assure you that pneumonia seems imminently curable with iv antibiotics and when pip had it a few months ago he recovered both quickly and completely.

other than that, i can simply wish for you much much better weeks, for the rest of your life, and danger lad's too.

1. I'm sorry to hear this.

2. No comment

3. I'm sorry to hear this too.


*Platonic hug* I dont have any words of wisdom, but I hope you'll feel a little better soon. I'm sorry to hear this...

I can't say it any better than [livejournal.com profile] amber_phoenix did. may this be the bottom. I hope the sun shines a little brighter for you and your lovely family every day after this one.

"I'm sorry" is so inadequate, sometimes. You and your family are in my thoughts, and if I could take an axe to this week for you, I would.

My deep sympathies to you and your whole family, for everything. I hope it helps a little bit to know that we're thinking of you, and we care.

My sympathies on all of those things.

As for the last, I know from experience that pneumonia is both very serious and reasonably easily dealt these days (provided the patient cooperates).

From: [identity profile] thenotoriousphd.livejournal.com
I'm sorry all around. I wish I lived closer so I could offer some kind of tangible assistance (bringing over casserole, watching DangerLad while you go visit your niece, cutting bitches who threaten your husband).

  1. I'm so very sorry. My sister has just gone through very similar. Hugs, as gentle or fierce as desired, upon demand. Participation in intoxication, quiet companionable sitting, and anything else you can think of ... likewise.
  2. That's whack. I hope whomever's got their panties in a bunch about D gets over it right quick.
  3. No fun for the sufferer nor their family, pneumonia is *usually* fairly easily treated, tho often slowly recovered from, these days. I spent a "lovely" month or two dealing with it in 3rd grade, myself. May your niece have an easier and swifter time of it.

*    *    *

I'm not *quite* put in mind of Bartlett. Jed would likely have ignored the Chief Justice's flubbing of lines, and simply sworn the Oath as written. Or, if he'd repeated-after, he'd likely have then repeated the entire Oath as the start of his speech, followed by some analysis of the phrasing.... and then plunged into his speech as written.

But I'm not disheartened, and that's a *great* change from the past 8 years.

#1. I'm so sorry, hon. *HUGS*

#2. Talk to the police, it is a good thing to have that sort of thing documented. We ran into a few problems after A's Dad was arrested because they both have the same name.

#3. I hope that she feels better very soon.

And yes, I agree, this week deserves to be hunted down and burned at the stake.

Feel free to hack the week to pieces, as I have a spare set of Blades of Kickassery should I need them.

I am heartsick for you and your family's troubles and know if you need or want anything I can provide, I will do my utmost to help.

Crumbs. Another hug like the one I gave you a couple days ago is right here, uselessly sitting in my arms where I can't reach you. Let us know if any help is needed.

1: I'm sorry to hear that, m'friend.

2: Have you filed a police report?

3: That's terrible. Fortunately, pneumonia is eminently treatable in this day and age. I hope she recovers soon.

I hope things start looking up for y'all.

Additional sorries, and love, and strong vibes, and protective ones, too. White candles and red for cleansing and strength, and mirrors to reflect any bad stuff.

And hugs.

Tim, too, sends all that's in his heart, plus much intemperate roaring at anyone with the temerity to threaten [livejournal.com profile] danceboy.
