Losing composure

After this morning’s frantic calls I’ve made little to no headway. My sister’s friend logged on quietly and I was fortunate that a friend who’s also watching out caught it.

Here now the latest…


Cut and editted.

Update…

Before leaving the office, I called Dr. S. to ask to set up an additional appointment.

Unable to sleep I was up until about 3:30 am working on my Comic-con photos and my notes for my Tarot class.

I set the alarm for 6am and hit the snooze bar at 6, 8, 8:30, and 8:45.

I got in to the office at about 9:45. My manager has been kept apprised of my situation. My manager marvels at my family on a regular basis.

I called Schugar Funeral Home to tell them what info I had. They were compassionate and understanding. There was no talk of the bill and I told them I would keep them apprised.

On my desktop was a message left within 15 minutes of when I left:


(06:23) SisAIM: Your sister is starting to have seizures. It is 9:22 pm, here, I will wait another 45 min to see if you log back on.

This morning I have called: Shadyside, Presby, Braddock, Western Psych, And Monitfiore. None have any listing of a patient under her maiden or married name. I am further told that since it’s suicide attempt related, they may not release any information anyway.

This coupled with the BS concerning my dad about a year ago, has of course planted seeds of doubt in my mind. So..at this point I don’t know if she’s dying in some Pgh Hospital and my mother is about to get her hands on another child to screw up; or, two very sick women are playing a prank on me.

This is my life today.

I took some pictures and video at Comicon. I put up a page in my iDisk. I am making comments on each, but am a bit tired and hope to add the rest soon. The bordered pictures have the comments, all pictures link to larger images.

Finally started posting to eBay

The first of my furniture for sale


Which John Cusack Are You?

Oddly, this is one of two Cusack movies I’ve never seen (Tapeheads being the other) and yet this description really hits the mark. At least in my eyes it does. Weird. I have to see this one now.
