OPEN BAR: 50 Shades of Chronic Liver Disease

[Luna]

It is hard to articulate just exactly how desperate for sleep I am right now.

I'm sleeping a solid right or nine hours a night, opposed to my usual five or six.  I can't say if I'm dreaming, but I know I wake up more tired than I go to sleep.

[Suu]

I've been at SCA friends' house since Thursday.  There's enough food around to feed a small army for a month.  Given that Lady T's family IS a mid-sized army, we're running about even.

Turns out Dad named a woman who lived next door to him in Kentucky, who followed him to Texas, executor, and she's handling EVERYTHING.  The only reason I know ANYTHING is that I called the local police department down there to find out what the hell is going on.  To say that this has left me a fucking wreck is to understate it spectacularly, particularly when I got a hold of the funeral home, said I was his daughter, and they called me by HER name.

I feel like shit I'm not there. Just saying.

Fuck this New Hampshire shit.

Given the blood relations, things are going as well as can be expected.  Only one cousin had to be backhanded and ejected.  (Had I heard what she said to Lady T, a split lip would be the least of her problems.)

Death can bring out the worst in people. Sometimes, simply the worst people. :/

Taking a nap at my desk.

Someone holler if anyone shows up or anything.

[The Good Reverend Roger]

Nap interrupted.  Now pissed off, which is interfering with my earlier anger.

This shit should be scheduled.

[LMNO]

I think I'm going to go home and sleep for about 10 hours.

That most likely won't happen, however.

Yeah, I know the feeling.

My daughter just had a similar experience to the one that generated my butthurt.

A friend of 4 years has decided that she is scorn-worthy, for no readily apparent reason.  I suggested that she merely stop talking to the person.

Someone who views you in contempt or as a means to an end is not a friend.

I managed 10 hours last night.  It was pretty amazing.  I didn't get any sleep after my all night shift, which isn't normally the case.  So, by 10pm, I basically fell unconscious the moment I got into bed.

I was in bed by 7 PM, but then anger and 2 AM.

Uh oh.

Do you know anything about this woman at all?

Similar situation that precipitated my foster-daughter's attempt at self-destruction.

And the girl who decided to dump her as "best friend" has already done the same thing to a string of other girls, generally the moment they decide they are no longer interested in being told what to do and covering for her shit.

Wait.  What?

Yeah, this girl that has Keelin pissed off doesn't even have primate games as an excuse.  Just plain old mean-spiritedness.  She got Keelin to confide in her about something that had Keelin mad, and then smiled at her and told her to "stop whining".

Which seems to me to be borderline suicidal.  Keelin, though, is a good person and just walked away and hasn't had contact with her since.

It's been a strange day. My foster kid attempted suicide at around 4am last night so I spent my morning in the ER. Right now she's OK, who knows what the future holds?

Smart kid. Walking away is the only way to handle people who pull stuff like that.

Other than her first name, that she and her significant other lived next door to Dad when his second wife died, and that they moved with him to Texas, zip.  I'm less than thrilled.

My brother is in contact with the courthouse.  I spent today dealing with the funeral of the friends' daughter, I figure I'll contact the police department again tomorrow.
