Best friend to get you through this.

[seajules]

It has been a week of housefail and technologyfail, in more ways than I have detailed or can detail. It has been decades of healthfail, with another increase these past several weeks. Our budget is a balancing act on a highwire juggling molotov cocktails, and I have no natural sense of balance. Several of my dearest friends are going through horrific ordeals, and I have nothing to give them but love I can't currently articulate and a sincere wish for things to improve.

One thing is keeping me functional and moving forward these days. Ten years ago, Old Man Mountain's son bound himself to me, and I to him. Thus we manage to hold our world together. Happy Anniversary, Goggy Mine.
